DOD Altar

                                                           DOD Altar

In my enthusiasm for making an altar for complete (and dead) strangers, I completely forgot to light my candles on my own altar for my mother and my husband Bob, who both died in 2001––the year I moved to Mexico––and my dad, who died in 1974. I had little electric candles that all burned out in the week I’ve had them lit, so it was time to substitute real fire!  Here it is.

    And you just reminded me today was also my mother’s yartzeit … and I forgot to light a candle too. But I have another chance on her birthday in month. These days, there are too many candles to light.
