As an adult, I appreciate these moments so much more than I did as a begrudging child and teenager. I look back on those days of marigolds and sugar skulls, and wish I had more of them to cherish.
Many people would set up ofrendas (altars) - a tradition I found morbid as a kid, but can now acknowledge as a manifestation of love, life, and beauty.
Setting up a Día de los Muertos ofrenda was the only way I knew to mourn her, honor her, celebrate her, and tell her how much she meant to me.
