A Nostalgic Post

Hi Jóvenes,

I don't know who reads this. Few people leave comments. Sometimes i feel that i, along with few others are the only ones that read this blog- which is cool. I wish though that more of you were willing to share more, but i suppose i will continue until i get somebody tired of saying the same stuff and then he or she will decide to write. I meant that in a funny way btw.

I just want to acknoweledge DIA DE LOS MUERTOS/THE DAY OF THE DEAD. I know that not everyone who reads this is Mexican or of Mexican descent, and i won't go into the whole explanation of the meaning of this day. This day may have more meaning for some rather than others. I just wanted to say that.

Today though, i remember mi abuelo. Today I remember my brothers and sisters and today is eight years from not seeing them. It is eight years that i don't see the place where i was born and eight years of being the aunt from the picture and the voice on the phone.
Unfortunately, a lot of us have been prived from a lot of things because of our situation. The heart is always with them however.

Who do you remember today? What do you remember today?

I was going to post an article that came on the Washington Post, but i then felt that maybe we wanted to chill from that-at least from tonite.

Some business has got to be posted however:
