If you’ve seen Pixar’s Coco, then you know the song “Remember Me” can evoke strong emotions. In the movie, the song is used to commemorate those who have passed. Taking a cue from the movie, a 4-year-old San Antonio boy dedicated the song to his baby sister. In a video posted on social media, Alex strums a white guitar as he sings to an altar filled with his sister’s pictures. According to ABC 7, Alex sang the song on what would have been his sister Ava’s first birthday.
