What’s your best childhood memory?
My favorite childhood memory is the last night of the Dia de Los Muertos celebration. Everyone would visit the cemeteries where their loved ones were buried and spend the night there. We would clean up the graves and decorate them with fresh flowers, light candles and burn incense. The cemeteries transformed from solitary places into a lively night of remembrance.
