"I loved seeing a community come together and feel all the good feelings one can get, like a big family," Greenwood wrote. "The people gathered at our seats were from different families."
"She didn't sleep for a minute during this time, but she wouldn't trade this experience for anything. A seven-hour train ride without sleep, but that wouldn't change anything," Greenwood wrote.
