GTT (Gone To Texas)

Dia de los Muertos

Its Dia de los Muertos - a time when Mexican family's create alters dedicated to family members who have passed.  This year I inherited a package of love letters sent between my grandfather and grandmother in 1925.   They both grew up in 1920s San Antonio, Texas and the letters reflect a courtship in English and Spanish.  He had great grammar and a lovely script style (he graduated from Brackenridge High School),  her handwriting is not as precise (I think she left school at 7th or 8th grade) and is so pleased to have a suitor.  They were together over 50 years.
