Death is never welcome, but if it arrives unexpectedly a sense of unreality invades us. This happened to the relatives of the deceased in a fateful plane crash, who after hearing the news marked again and again the number of their loved ones with the hope that a voice from the other side would give him life and with it the calm.

Many of those unanswered calls originated in this territory. Sterile attempts. The silence for an answer, an answer that became a harbinger of the days of suffering that were coming. Children, parents, brothers, friends ... were ripped out without time to say goodbye.

For more than a week people were expectant. The reason only one: the arrival of the remains of those who, originating from this geography, had lost their lives on the tragic afternoon of Friday, May 18. All while trying to give strength, encourage those who had lost one of their own. The days went by. Little by little they returned with their family, their people, their neighborhood, their land to receive the last goodbye at the roots, where they had left.

The last to arrive to the territory were María Virgen and Rafael, a pastoral couple from the Guaramanao area. There were also the neighbors, the friends, the brothers of faith. Immensely moving the image of the mother who tearfully refused to believe that the coffin kept the inert body of his son. Or the daughter who sobbed told the way she would remember her father, a humble man, but loved by everyone for his character and his way of being.
