My Boss was approached earlier this week from a organization similar to Make a Wish foundation,about making a kid's wish come true. His name is Ricky and he lives in Harrisonburg VA. I was told that Ricky was a Huge Washington Redskin Fan and that he wanted his bedroom painted in the team colors red and gold. So my boss asked me in a round about way if I would like to paint his bedroom in the team colors. I said sure! I would be glad to do it. So I met Ricky on Tuesday of this week and we went over what it was he was actually looking for. We agreed on how he wanted it painted. But he seemed to still be down a bit. Which I guess at the age of 15 and going through radiation treatments would have anyone down. So I looked at him and asked him ,who is your favorite Redskin player. He quickly responded # 89 Santana Moss! So I said to Ricky I tell you what How about I paint Santana Moss on your wall as a mural. He looked up at me and said " You can do that?" I said sure His eyes got really big and a huge smile came across his face! So I said I will even paint the Redskin Helmet on the other wall for you, Sound good? Ricky looked up at me with his eyes ablaze and said "Awesome" Well today I finished the murals and the painting. And Ricky was a very Happy 15 year old today! So many of us take our health and what we have in our lives for granted. I think sometimes the world would be a better place if we all could learn something from Ricky like I did this week. That kid has to be one of the strongest kids I have ever met. And even though he has good days and bad days he keeps on fighting and smiling! In a time when our world seems to need hero's and people to look up to along come a 15 year old kid who in my opinion is a true Hero . Because against overwhelming odds He keeps fighting to live his life as best he can as a normal Kid! I am not trying to toot my own horn here, But I tell you what if you really want to feel good about yourself try doing something for someone else. Without any expectation for something in return just do to do it! God Bless ya Ricky and Thank you for giving me a life lesson at 43 years old! Everyone who is a friend of mine on here or even if your not please say a prayer in your own way for Ricky The True Hero Maker!
