When Ryder came into this world he had so many loving family and friends awaiting his arrival. He had a family friend Elena Stago and two very proud aunts Mildred Dunham and Danielle Martinez. Danielle had shared she had a dream of a baby being born and his name was Ryder, so this is where Ryder got his name.

The minute they made contact with him they fell in love. Nana Brenda, Auntie Madie and big sister Kaiya laid eyes on Ryder and also fell in love. When Kaiya came home and Ryder would be crying in the next room with mom, Kaiya would say, “Nana can I go and get him and I can finish my homework later”, Nana would say no. Minutes later Kaiya would walk into Nana’s room with Ryder in her arms smiling away.
