Remembering ancestors

This clip won’t mean much if you have not seen the movie Coco. I didn’t like the movie the first time I saw it, but I now love it.  The look on Hector’s face as he steps on the bridge of flowers makes me cry every time. Because he is remembered.

Our family has a “Hector,” and his name is Jose Sabas Antonio Sanchez. My parents found his grave this year in Merced.

Jose Sabas Antonio’s grave in Merced. All alone – says Joseph S. Sanchez.

I put up the Christmas decorations and realized I needed a new touch this year:

My Great-aunt Susan’s doll sitting on my Great-great-great grandmother Emma Louisa Boyden Ostler’s chair. (1846-1897).
