I Love You, Nonna

"Raylin, would you like to go inside now?" Mamma asks me. I immediately nod, and walk to the room. As I face the door, my heart pounds in my ribcage, blood rushing through my ears. I finally go inside after almost 3 hours of waiting, only to see a sight that makes me want to cry silently.

Raylin Hernandez. A 12 year old girl known for her positivity and reality checks, also known for her strength and hardships. Join her journey as she tries to stay strong and help her family.

Everyone you know is battling a war you know nothing about. Never judge, always smile.
