"Cricket" is her nickname and she sure is a cutie.
I wanted to throw this info in before the mocking and ridiculing of the parents "name choice" started.

She was Cricket! A firebrand, a fierce Democrat, and damn I miss her.
She'll throw some good karma to Cricket Swalwell. What a pretty child she is! I hope they keep that nickname. When I first heard it I cried.

with Swalwell near. Just lovely.
