Rickie was our beautiful, warrior, surprise baby!! She was named after my father and brother (Richard Sr. and Richard Jr....Ricky) because Bruce and I thought she would be our last child. Boy, were we wrong!! And boy (boys- RJ and Hadden) is the correct term!! But this is Rickie's story. I was in Residency in Yuma, AZ with her sisters Cella and Kyla. Her Daddy, Bruce, was alone up in Phoenix. But he didn't stay there. He came racing to Yuma several times because each of those times, I almost lost Rickie (miscarried) but Rickie is such warrior- the best of her Daddy and her Mommy that she REFUSED to give up. She WOULD be born....and she was. And because her Mommy loved her Daddy so much (and because Rickie was the biggest of our babies, hehehe) I scheduled the induction....so her Daddy could be there to see his warrior daughter (later nicknamed, Sheriff Rickie) be born. And he was. He never missed a single birth. He loved, correction....LOVES, all his children. And just like Rickie refused to give up, her Daddy (Bruce) refuses to leave her side, even though he is not physically with us....he is still with us (WITH YOU, RICKIE LEE) ...always. Always
