Chapter 1: Spark

Papa Hector, I'm so glad that you're ok! An hour ago, I have tried my best to revoke Mama Coco's memories by giving the teared off picture which I have shown you earlier and singing 'Remember me (your original version). The first method didn't work but the song works well and able to make her remember everything, she even told me and my whole family about your stories as well as showing letters which you wrote to her! I'm so sorry that I lost your only photo that you want me to bring to the Land of the Living, it flew off while Pepita was rescuing me, but don't worry! It turns out Mama Coco has been keeping one of your photos hidden along with the letters, you can surely see her next year and able to cross the bridge. There are many things I want to tell you and the others, but I don't have much idea of where to start. Since there are lots of stuff going on everyday and don't want to overwhelm Dante, I'm going to write twice a week and organize the events into a diary format, allowing all of you to keep track with the dates and sequences (only way I can think of)

Hope you all don't mind Dante's constant visit and love everyone as always!

P.S Get well soon Papa Hector, looking forward for your visit next year! (Hopefully I can still see all of you)

Love,

Miguel.

Miguel,

* I understand your passion and desire to share your life stories with everyone here, YET, it does not mean you should start breaking the laws of realm. Please keep in mind that the Livings and the Deads are NOT supposed to 'communicate' with each other. I don't want you and the whole family to get into trouble….

Thank you for your kind message, mijo. As much as I want to hear about your daily stories, I'm afraid your Mama Imelda is right… (Please see attached brown paper for more details)

(Have to write my notes on another piece of paper as Imelda will not be happy about this…)

I'm still not entirely sure about this new form of communication, yet I will not stop you from writing to us. There is a small request I would like you to help me to do: Keep me update on how my Coco is doing and take care of her. I have lost track of time ever since the moment I died, as well as lost count of how many times I have tried to cross the bridge and rejections that Imelda gave me. As long as I know that she is happy and safe, I'm more than grateful even I cannot see her personally. What you did earlier ago is more than enough and you don't have to blame yourself for losing my photo. I'm so proud of your action and pleased to have you as my great-great grandson. Thank you for everything and just write anytime you like to me (not sure how the rest thinks, but I have a feeling that Imelda is going to burn all the letters and banish your dog from getting into the house for the sake of both living and dead family), I will try my best to reply as soon as possible 'secretly'.

Looking forward for your adventures and stories, hopefully my request will not be too much to ask.

Papa Hector
