The Meaning of Hyka ....

Purely my defination ... if it translates to something else, its beyond me and this meaning is the only one that matters to me ....

When I was in school, 6th grade on, I babysat this little boy named Ricky. His Mom was a teen mom, divorced and worked her ass off to make ends meet for her and her son. I started watching Ricky from before he was a year old (probably about 7 months or so) until about the time he started Kindergarten. Ricky went with me everywhere ... his mom worked nights at a nursing home, so I had him from about 2:30/3:00 when I got off of school till anywhere between 11pm and 2am. I absolutely adored that little guy! He went with my family many many places, including a Cardinal game, where he got to meet Fred Bird... he said to Fred Bird ... "You a silly Turkey Bird" (When Ricky was acting goofy, we'd call him a Turkey Bird)... anyway .... Ricky couldn't say Monica and he would always say Hyka (hi-ka).... My friends all heard him call me that and it just stuck ... To this day, I still have friends that call me Hyka.

BTW ... My Ricky is now some 20+ years old, last I saw him, he was one handsome kid with a bright future ahead of him ....
