At sixteen, Armine fell in love for the first time and lost that love for the first time.
She was the youngest daughter of three in Armenia and the only one underage when her parents decided to immigrate to the United States.
She had to go with and leave her beloved Alex behind.
Her parents saw a land of opportunity while Armine saw heartbreak.
It wasn't the end of her story with Alex and certainly not the end of her life, as it had felt at the time, but there was more pain to follow.
Sixteen.
