All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day are days when we remember our departed loved ones. It is a time to remember what they have done for us and also a time to reflect on our own inevitable end. People go to cemeteries as early as Halloween to visit the graves of ancestors who have died and to pray for their souls. The tombstones should remind us that soon, we would also be six feet under, because, from dust we came, to dust we will return. I hope that All Saints' Day will remind us that we only have one life to live, and that we should live every moment, in love and in righteousness.
