00:00Liston Diario presents the Editorial from the Director.
00:30They are not numbers, they were sons, friends, lovers, co-workers, people who went out to
00:37celebrate life and found death in an instant.
00:42The entire country trembles.
00:43The embers of pain won't be extinguished in 3 days or 30.
00:48The firefighter who broke into sweat and tears after 53 hours searching for life in the rubble
00:54knows this.
00:55The Director of the Emergency Operations Center knows it too.
00:58His voice cracked while giving the report because some numbers cannot be spoken.
01:04They are mourned.
01:05We all know it.
01:06This cuts through us as a nation.
01:08The official mourning will end, but ours will not.
01:12There will be photos on makeshift altars, songs that will never sound the same, and empty seats
01:18at family tables.
01:20And a brutal lesson remains, fragility makes us equal.
01:25Today, we hold each other tighter, look each other deeper in the eye, because the Dominican
01:31soul, though wounded, beats as one.
01:34Let pain not break us, but unite us.
01:38For those who left too soon, and for those of us still here, learning to live with their absence.
