THE STRENGTH OF THE BELIEVER

It is known the most incredible pain in a human being's life is the loss of a child. There is no way to fill that big space that someone that was supossed to bury you left. Even more when we are talking of a life just starting to be enjoyed. I wonder how many times these girls would have talked with their girlfriends about how their future would be, and their family, husband, career, etc. How many jokes would have came up. Unfortunatelly it wasn't more than that: a talking. Maybe some of them never knew what the first kiss was, or to having a boyfriend was. And they passed away leaving behing them an overwhelming pain, as overwhelming that there's no palliative nor anestesia to calm it. Unfinished teenagers dreams, idealistics- probably-.

9 families will cry for a very long time their absences. First year, the worst. The first Christmas with out them, first new years's eve or birthday. However they have the strength the believer has, luckily. When your little girl is not with you anymore but you know she's in heaven for sure anyway, in other words she is alive. In another place, but alive fortunatelly, and parents know for sure they will see them again one day. And so, you convince yourself of that, if not you could drive crazy, what would happen if this happens to an agnostic parent? he or she goes to shit, just like that. To shit. You'll never see your son or daughter again. And then...there's no way to delete that tormet you're going through. I deeply value these parents are believers. That they have this kind of redemption to help them. Nine girls were supossed to come back to Santiago today and I'm quite sure they said goodbye to their parents promising souvenirs. Sadly it wasn't that way and in return they left a tremendous empty space impossible to fill with anything. As time goes by, which in this case is the only "sanation", they will be able to accept it...but never forget it nor replace it. This post doesn't want to be full of tears, it's only a reminder of at anytime we can stop existing. But the worst and hardest thing to accept is when we are talking about young and beautiful lives that know nothing of the world and maybe had everything to live for.
