    Ramir Quintana

    I live in Irvine, California, where I enjoy my six grandchildren and two sons. I had a very loving Christian childhood, which gave me the strength to endure many situations in life! I have always wanted to share this story and reach out to others like myself who have endured such cruelty from those whose desire is to break our spirits.
