Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for November 01, 2023

Oh this is gonna hurt

La Dia de Los Muertos, when Latin American countries remember their family members that have died.

El Día de Muertos a day for the remembering of family members.

I can relate a drunk driver ended my grandmas life Christmas eve when I was a kid. They were driving to our house. I was angry.

I certainly understand Baldo from personal experience.

I was glad mom was at peace with God when she passed after a good full life, but it still makes me sad, missing her.

Losing a parent is hard… at any age.

we choose to observe Cinco De Mayo and party thinking it is as Mexican holiday, even though it is not as big a holiday as we make it out to be, and forget El Día de Muertos is a wonderful celebration that represents the Latino cultures more than most any other celebration.

do we need more reasons to drink and forget our daily lives or should we take our que from El Día de Muertos and remember and celebrate our past and memories of those who have moved on.

For the uninitiated, the Mother was killed in an automobile accident—-both kids were in the car but only minor injuries.

I lost my mother at the young age of three…being a “motherless child” is extremely difficult whether you remember your mother or not. Sadly I only have pictures and other people’s memories. I also lost my father, long before he passed 19 years later.

It’s never easy when a parent dies. Especially tragically.

Just want to take a moment to say how much I enjoy this comic.

Y’all take care.

Anger with the loved one for Dying is actually a Normal part of grieving.

Anger is either the 2nd or 3rd stage depending on whether you subscribe to the 5 stages of grief model or the 7 stages model.

My mom still around at 94. (Runs in her dad’s side of the family he lived into his 90s also. Rest of grandparents died in their 50s or 60s.)
