You'll always live on in me // Siempre vivirĂĄs en mĂ­

đŸŽ¶ You'll say it's strange what happened to me. It seems I found you in my dreams last night // DirĂĄs que es raro lo que me pasĂł. Parece que anoche te encontrĂ© en mis sueños.đŸŽ¶

El texto del pĂĄrrafo (2).png



I hope it happens soon; I’d like to know that you’re okay—that you left your body because it had already collapsed under the weight of life’s burdens. It was an expected outcome, given all the damage to your health and the passage of time; however, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to accept.

I prayed to the supreme force of the universe to end your suffering and let your body fall asleep once and for all—it was easy to say, but now that it’s happened, it’s hard to come to terms with. I’d like at least one more day to stroke your hair and your forehead—at least a few more hours, or even just one minute.

That night I was going to stay with you, but I felt tired and decided to postpone it until the next day—but that day arrived with you no longer physically present. I’m so sorry my intuition failed me; I thought there was still a little more time left—not much, though. Your body had given so much, and you were already out of almost breath, but out of all the nights I spent with you, it was precisely that night that I didn’t go to be with you.

It’s a good thing my brother J. did manage to sense that your time was running out and stayed with you until the very last moment; with his patience and love for you, he didn’t want to leave your side during your final nights. Of course, everyone expresses their devotion differently and according to their own circumstances; that doesn’t overshadow or diminish the feelings of the rest of your children. Some moments seem to be predestined.

Ojalå suceda pronto, me gustaría saber que estås bien, abandonaste tu cuerpo porque ya había colapsado con las cosas de la vida que pesan. Un suceso esperado, ya por tantos daños sufridos en la salud y por el paso del tiempo, sin embargo, eso no quiera decir que se acepte tan fåcil.

Deseé a la fuerza suprema del universo que acabara con tu sufrimiento y tu cuerpo se quedara dormido de una vez, lo decía fåcil, ahora que pasó es difícil asimilarlo. Me gustaría al menos un día mås para acariciar tus cabellos y tu frente, al menos unas horas mås, un minuto.

Esa noche iba a ir a quedarme contigo, pero me sentĂ­a cansada y decidĂ­ posponerlo para el dĂ­a siguiente, pero ese dĂ­a llegĂł con tu ausencia fĂ­sica. Lamento tanto que me fallara mi intuiciĂłn, pensĂ© que aĂșn quedaba un poquito mĂĄs de tiempo, no tanto, tu cuerpo mucho habĂ­a dado y ya casi no tenĂ­as aliento, pero entre tantas noches que pasĂ© contigo, justamente esa noche no fui a acompañarte.

Que bueno que mi hermano J. sĂ­ logrĂł intuir que el tiempo ya se te acababa y estuvo contigo hasta el Ășltimo instante, Ă©l con su paciencia y amor por ti no quiso separarse en tus Ășltimas noches. Claro, que cada quien expresa su entrega de manera distinta y de acuerdo a sus posibilidades, eso no opaca ni disminuye los sentimientos del resto de tus hijos, algunos instantes parecen estar ya predestinados.

He told us that that night he dreamed of you looking radiant, with a beautiful face and a body that radiated well-being, walking through a beautiful landscape. He deserved that dream, that connection with your soul, that revelation that you didn’t disappear—you simply left your body behind in this dimension.

Él nos contĂł que esa noche te soñó radiante, con un semblante hermoso y un cuerpo que irradiaba bienestar, caminando por un paisaje hermoso. Se merecĂ­a ese sueño, ese contacto con tu alma, esa revelaciĂłn de que no desapareciste, solo abandonaste tu cuerpo en esta dimensiĂłn.

I remember you often said you didn’t want to leave yet, that you didn’t want to leave your children alone. I saw you as I might see a little girl speaking innocently—that’s what I thought at the time. Now I can understand a little better what you meant; there’s such a huge void. As a good mother, you knew how much it would hurt.

It comforts me to know that your body is no longer suffering. I imagine you’re in a less dense dimension than the one you’ve just left—filled with relief and lightness, and the lessons learned over a lifetime—so that you can continue to transcend in your existence, which I believe will never end.

I’m left with all the good and beautiful things you taught me and gave me; when this moment comes, all the best things take on greater value, stand out more, and shine brighter.

Recuerdo que a menudo decĂ­as que no querĂ­as irte todavĂ­a, que no querĂ­as dejar solos a tus hijos. Yo te sentĂ­a como puedo sentir a una niña que habla con inocencia, era mi pensar en ese momento, ahora puedo entender un poco a que te referĂ­as, se siente un vacĂ­o tan grande. TĂș como buena madre sabĂ­as cuanto iba a doler.

Me consuela saber que tu cuerpo ya dejĂł de sufrir, imagino que estĂĄs en una dimensiĂłn menos densa que la que acabas de dejar, con alivio y ligereza y lecciones aprendidas de toda una vida, para seguir trascendiendo en tu existencia que creo no acabarĂĄ nunca.

Me quedó con todo lo bueno y lo bonito que me enseñaste y que me diste, cuando llega este momento todo lo mejor toma mås valor, resalta mås, sobresale.

You'll always live on in me, Mom.*

Siempre vivirĂĄs en mĂ­, mamĂĄ.



The lines enclosed by the musical note emojis are from the song “Proud Corazón” from the movie Coco, which my mom loved and which I watched with her more than once.

Las frases que están entre los emojis de notas musicales son de la canción “El latido de mi corazón” de la película Coco, que le encantaba a mi mamá y que vi con ella más de una vez.

Please don’t carry the weight of that lost night as if it were a failure. We are human, and our intuition, though often strong, is not a clock. We cannot choose the moment of a departure, nor the specific way in which we are present to accompany it. The presence of your brother J. was a gift to them, but your love was no less present or any less profound, even in your absence that final night. Don’t let the circumstances of that one night overshadow the devotion you showed them throughout their lives. They are at peace, and you have honoured them with your devotion. Allow yourself to breathe, knowing that you did what you could and that love transcends physical presence at the final moment.

me quedo con la idea de que la calidad del contenido siempre supera a la cantidad, y los nĂșmeros lo confirman.
