The life of Coach Vickey Ritchie and friends thru the πŸ“· of Mrs Samantha!A few more pics than normal for here, but they tell a beautiful story about a Lady who puts the word Special in the Special Olympics !

One day, after celebrating her 65th birthday πŸŽ‚, Vickey Ritchie was back in the Gymnasium at HillsvilleΒ  Elementary School, acting like, well, acting like a dinosaur πŸ¦•.

Today was our fourth straight Sunday together, and each week, the folks joining us are different. Different in numbers and in personality with our mission being to make sure that whoever shows up feels like they are part of something special.

Today, the number of participants was 22, same as last time, just a different 22. We celebrated two birthdays, and I truly believe that the energy was as high as any that I’ve heard on a non-Classic Sunday afternoon.

I consider it an honor πŸŽ– to be a wingman to such an incredible person who is also trying hard to do God’s work!

Thank you, Samantha, for your efforts in framing the day !
