Recuérdame
Recuérdame.
If ever I forget to haunt you, do not forget that I lived and breathed and walked the very path that you walk.
Sentirme.
If ever I forget to visit you in the form of a chill down your spine, do not forget the warmth of my embrace or the tenderness of my touch.
Piensa en mí.
If ever I forget to make my presence known to you in the form of an apparition—a shadowy figure in your periphery—do not forget the sound of my voice, the melody of my laughter, the shape of my silhouette.
Reza por mí.
“¡Que la luz se haga por ti, hermana mía; que acabas de dejar la tierra!”
Reza por mí.
“¡Que los buenos espíritus del Señor desciendan hacia ti, rodeándote y ayudándote a sacudir tus cadenas terrestres!”
Reza por mí.
“¡Que Dios te perdone y que sus buenos espíritus te sostengan y te animen!”
Órame.
Place me on your altar. Light a candle for me. Burn incense in my honor. Whisper my name into the ether.
Inmortalízame.
When I am too weak to remind you that I am here—that I exist—remember me.
