Seven memories of Armando Hernandez

“

I never had the chance to meet my nino/uncle Armando. But I know he was a good man and I know he will always have a smile on his face, as long as he knows that my sister, and I are doing good! I know he will always be with me. He will be waiting for me to be reunited with him. I miss him so much even though I didnt get to meet him. I wish I could meet him. I will just have to wait till I get up to heaven with him. Its going to be 11 years on Aug 1 2015. He got to see me in a picture my mom sent to him in Iraq. I know he will be proud of me for doing projects in school about him.He is y hero! He will never be forgotten and nobody can replace him. I miss you so much nino I am very proud of you.
Love Divine
