"Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. It is sometimes confused with Halloween because of the symbolic skulls but is not related at all.
It is said that on November 1st the children who have passed come back to visit and celebrate as angelitos and on the following day, November 2nd, it’s the adults (Difuntos) turn to show up for the festivities.
Family members prepare for several weeks in advance for the tradition by creating altars, decorating burial sites, and cooking specific Day of the Dead food."

"If you're climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time.
Don't look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time.
Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how high you've really gone." D. Osmond
