What kind of things are you wanting to do to connect? Is dad Mexican? Is he in the picture?

This is a great time to start introducing him to his culture. Día de los muertos is coming up! You can watch Coco, check out some books from the library, help him make his own ofrenda. It’s okay if you don’t have access to photos from his Mexican family, you can put anyone on an ofrenda.

I also saw that you’re religious so you don’t have to emphasize the spiritual side of the ofrenda if you don’t want to. Lots of Mexicans put up the altar as a form of remembrance and for tradition without literally believing that their ancestors are coming to visit them lol.
