A story marked by the Colombian conflict
After the official statement of the death was released, the first reactions from Uribe Turbay’s close circle began to appear and of course, his sister María Carolina Hoyos was one of the first to write on social media.
Today’s emotional and painful farewell from Hoyos highlights that Uribe Turbay’s story was marked by the Colombian conflict, starting with the assassination of his mother and now, history repeats itself.
“Miguel warrior, this was God’s will. I can’t find explanations, but I have no choice but to accept this new pain with faith. I am sure that our mom, who loves you so much, is welcoming you today with open arms. Mom... our grandmother, our life mother, is also waiting for you with infinite tenderness," wrote Hoyos.

She also thanked everyone who contributed to the medical process trying to save his brother’s life. “Thank you to all the doctors and nurses. Thank you to those who prayed with faith, to those who accompanied us with solidarity and love. Thank you to our family for staying united in the midst of pain.”
But undoubtedly, the most emotional moment of the message referred to the politician meeting her mom and grandma in heaven.
“Lord, give me strength to keep going. Migue, do me a favor: tell my mom that I love her... It comforts me to know that now you two are together. I hope to do enough to join you where you are when my turn comes. My beautiful child, I adore you! Goodbye, to God!”, Hoyos concluded.
