My parents were from the north for one thing (sometimes there are small differences in the custom depending on the region) but also because we never did the table of food "offered up to the spirit". We did cook lots of food and relatives came over though and visited the graves. I never thought of it as "happy death day" but that makes sense, as once one's parents pass away, it's the date of their passing that matter and the birthdays are no longer as significant.ykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409262473521197052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746748686244495382.post-21766091151763669262009-09-29T14:49:03.333-07:002009-09-29T14:49:03.333-07:00Hi Amy, sorry you are having a few rough days. We...Hi Amy, sorry you are having a few rough days. We all wish we could bring you some chicken soup, or fish soup if you would prefer. Hopefully the shot and medicine will kick in and you will feel better soon.<br /><br />The death ceremony sounds interesting and I have heard of Cheseok, or seen on discovery. Will be anxious to hear all about it. Nothing to new here, Tigger escaped for a day, but is home and only had a small nick on his ear. For coming home, he got the opprotunity to get to know the Vet again, which was interesting to say the least. Weather is turning colder, only about 45-50 today and dreary, so I guess winter is not far behind.<br /><br />Feel better soon, and we love you and miss you lots.<br /><br />Love<br />Aunt Sandy and Uncle Jeff, and Tigger too.Sandy and Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785765755858685362noreply@blogger.com
