This year I am going to light a candle at home in memory of my father. Not for him, but for me. I don’t talk much about it, but I feel I haven’t had time to grieve properly.

Dia de Todos-os-Santos
The 1st of November in Portugal is a public holiday, it is a day when people go to the cemetery with candles and flowers to put on the graves of dead relatives or friends. Some people say prayers for the dead.

Ik heb eens van je moeder zo'n Portugees lichtje gekregen dat je aan de muur moet hangen.
