The Last Hello

The Last Hello is a tender and heartfelt story written by 10‑year‑old author Ryker Scott in loving memory of his Grandpop Allen, who passed away after a short but courageous battle with brain cancer. Through the voice of Raimon, a boy whose superpower is saying hello, Ryker shares a deeply personal journey of love, loss, and healing.
As Raimon learns to navigate the quiet space left behind when someone important is gone, he discovers that hellos and goodbyes don’t disappear—they live on in memories, kindness, and the way we choose to show up for others. This story gently reflects how a child processes grief, honors the bond he shared with his grandfather, and finds comfort in spreading warmth to the world.
Filled with hope, heart, and compassion, The Last Hello is a touching reminder that love never ends—it simply finds new ways to say hello.
