Remembering Our Departed Loved Ones

All Souls Day is here again and we take time from whatever we are doing to remember our departed loved ones. All Souls Day is not necessarily about remembering how our loved ones have died but rather how they lived. We don't only think of them on this occasion because they're dead but we also think of them when they were alive and the good things they've done for us.

My mom passed away 3 years ago so every year we celebrate this day and visit her, actually not just today but everyday by giving her flowers, saying our prayers and offering mass for her and all our departed relatives too. I'm glad we have All Souls Day coz with our busy schedules we tend to forget......it's a good way to set aside time for honoring and remembering our loved ones who have passed on from this life.
