Happy Halloween

Greetings. I'm Constable Ichabod Crane of
New York. You may ask why I am here?
My friend, Shell is a new mom, as you know. Her son,
Jacob is doing well. Almost to 3 pounds now.
She has her fingers crossed perhaps he will
be home for Thanksgiving. Since Shell is busy,
I naturally offered to take over her
Halloween post.
I must admit. Before I came to Sleepy Hollow,
I didn't believe in Ghouls or Goblins. Especially,
Headless Horseman! Alas, my eyes have been opened.
My own mother, a child of Nature, perhaps had
she lived long enough would of taught me more
about the magic of this night: Halloween.
Truthfully, the magic goes beyond this night.
From All Souls Day to Dios De Los Muertos. The doorways
between our world of the living and the dead are
open. It's not a time to be afraid. A time to
honor our ancestors. To light a candle, remember
a favorite story of a loved one, or even ask
for guidance from your departed ones. Our
dream world is a place where we can always
find those who we love again until
we join them in the hereafter.
It is getting late my friends. My beloved Katrina
is waiting for me. I must not tarry. On behalf of
myself and Shell, wishing you a wonderful Halloween.
