Synopsis
On October 8, 2004, Angela Frances Ricker, the third of four children, was born at the Ricker home with a rare and severe genetic condition called Trisomy-13, aka Patau Syndrome. The doctors gave her a few weeks to live. However, she had her own stubborn spirit of survival and life, and she stayed for 11 years. During those years she learned, she grew, she laughed and moved and reached for the light and for life. She taught those who knew her much about strength, weakness, determination, hardship, joy, loss, and love. As someone once said, "I guess she's just here to bring down love, then, huh?”. She brought down love in abundance, she taught doctors and parents alike to challenge assumptions, and she challenged her family to push their limits of patience, forbearance, open-heartedness, and resilience. Her touch on this world was gentle but insistent, and will echo throughout many lives and moments. This book is a compilation of writings about, and photos of, Angela.
