Dios Te Bendiga!💯🇵🇷❤️🙏

You were not allowed to walk out that door without saying it. Not once in your whole life. 🙏🏽

Bendición. One word, said at the doorway, said into a telephone, said across a room full of relatives. And the answer came back before the elder had to think about it. Dios te bendiga. It is not hello and it is not goodbye. You are asking to be blessed, and they are blessing you, and both of you mean it.

It came to us through Spanish Catholic households and it stayed here long after a great deal of the rest of it went. Then we taught it to children who were born in the Bronx and in Chicago and in Orlando and had never once set foot on the island. Some of those children are sixty five years old now. They still say it, and their voice still drops a little when they do, because they can still feel a grandmother's hand landing on the top of their head.

That is the part that makes it ours. Not that it survived on the island, but that it got on the plane. Somebody in a cold apartment a thousand miles from Cayey or Yauco or Lares kept one word alive because it was the last thing in the house that still sounded like home.

And here is what nobody warns you about. When the elder who used to answer you is gone, you become the one who answers. Tag the person in your family who still says Dios te bendiga back to you, while you can still tag them.
