Riley

Dear Journal, My heart is shattered. If I could cry, I would gladly do that. However, I do not know that I can. I have been crying all day, and I don't think that I have any more tears to shed. My parents have been coming in every ten minutes to check on me. They put on this brave face for me. I know that they hope that I will buy their brave act. However, I know better. They are just as hurt and scared as I am. My name is Riley Johnson and I have been diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer.
