Around this time 11 years ago Rick and I were in a hospital
room with a 3 month old baby hoping that he would survive Bacterial Meningitis.
We were so stuck in the moment and what was happening we could not envision
what 11 years from that moment would look like.
Last night we both were all
smiles when Ricky walked proudly across the stage and received several awards
during his 5th grade graduation. Ricky excelled in Science on the
CRCT test and received a medal. He was an all A’s student all year. He received
a certificate for being a member of the Beta Club and being in Honor Chorus.
Ricky has excelled in everything he has done.
Doctors told us that from the
meningitis Ricky could have lots of complications but thank the Lord he has
none that we know of unless you count being a musical, funny, Drama King as a
complication. Ricky we are so proud of the person you are becoming. You are
caring, trustworthy, and every day you are becoming more responsible. Keep your
mind focused on the right track and everything will fall into place. Remember
always shoot for the stars. No one will get you to where you want to be but
you.
