As a powerful earthquake shook Cali and several structures began to sustain damage, one woman could think of only one person: her mother, who was hospitalized.
Amid the fear and uncertainty, the daughter stayed by her side for as long as she could. She hugged her, tried to calm her, and they both began to pray as they waited for the most dangerous moment to pass.
But the situation forced the evacuation of the place. The woman had to leave the hospital and temporarily leave her mother behind, distressed by not knowing when she would see her again.
There were hours of uncertainty until the news she had been waiting for finally arrived: her mother had also been evacuated.
Amid a tragedy marked by destruction, fear, and loss, her story offered a different image: that of a daughter who, when everything began to shake, found her greatest refuge in staying by her mother’s side.
Because there are moments when no words can calm fear. All that remains is to hold each other and wait together for the storm to pass.
