Ricardo, was a Love i once was blessed to have. As the years go by, how come i still miss you and think about you. You left so young and i still remember you like the 1st time we saw each other in class in Jordan High. And from then that's how we became a couple. I think of you so much that i ingraved your name on my chest to carry you and have you with me forever. Call me silly, but i know you would of been happy to seen it. Well, as you know God took your brother Jorge+ to be with you in heaven and ur baby sis Ana.. i know ur happy up there while im here missing you, to tell you the truth i can't even hear oldies after all these years because of you.. ill think of the moments we were together holding each other n just falling asleep listening to oldies. It kills my heart to hear them because right away you come in my mind.. Well Ricardo, was a good, loving,caring person but followed the wrong steps. He will always be missed and loved.. Te extrano mi RickDogg.. Always and Forever, -Anay.. (the one that misses you and love's you till this day)
