[This is a giveaway prize for @angelmihe who requested a lighthearted fic of teenage Oscar and Felipe babysitting their little niece Coco.]
“But Imelda, we were going to work on our new project today!” Oscar said, looking up from the workbench.
“We don’t have time to watch Coco, you can’t just suddenly throw off all our plans like that!” Felipe finished, setting down his freshly drawn leather pattern.
The teenage twins looked pleadingly at their older sister as she draped a thin purple shawl over her shoulders. Imelda was unimpressed, as usual.
Recuérdame, hoy me tengo que ir mi amor Recuérdame, no llores por favor Te llevo en mi corazón y cerca me tendrás A solas yo te cantaré soñando en regresar
Recuerdame, aunque tenga que emigrar Recuérdame, si mi guitarra oyes llorar Ella con su triste canto te acompañará Hasta que en mis brazos estés Recuérdame
English lyrics:
Remember me Though I have to say goodbye Remember me Don’t let it make you cry For even if I’m far away I hold you in my heart I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
Remember me Though I have to travel far Remember me Each time you hear a sad guitar Know that I’m with you the only way that I can be Until you’re in my arms again Remember me
Don’t listen to this while imagining young Coco with her head resting on her folded arms, watching a small copper music box play on her bedside table, a tiny painted mariachi figurine with a white guitar just like her father’s slowly turning in place as the familiar song plays.
You were created by God. You are His masterpiece. Beautifully and Gracefully crafted by the Creator of the Universe. Trust me when I say you have a purpose in this world. God does not handcraft useless things.He creates with a purpose in mind. You have something unique and purposeful to contribute to this world. Live with this precious truth in mind, and go out into the world and use the gifts your Heavenly Father gave ya!
