Fighting Spirit Wallpaper 4k

[Lilliana Adames]

Nomatter how positive we are, how healthily we live, or how much kindness, generosity, or fairness we practice, shit happens. To all of us. And suddenly, we find ourselves juggling more balls than it seems humanly possible to juggle.

When my father died suddenly when I was in my twenties. When I was lost in a bottomless depression for two years in my thirties. When I had to undergo neurosurgery to remove a brain tumor in my forties.

I can call upon it when I need it. It adds to my resilience and self-reliance when life gets tough. And I also find that it comes in handy when I want to make changes for the better in my life, but struggle with the unforeseen complexities of, or resistance to, what I want to do.

Yet my fighting spirit kicked in: I got physically fit and strong. I learned what I could about my tumor and my surgery. I did the inner psychological work to oust the demons that had perhaps contributed to bring the tumor on. And I got alternative health support from hypnotherapy, homeopathy, Ayurveda, and even angelic healing!

I asked that question because watching his moves, I felt a lack of fighting spirit and some kind of an irresponsible mindset. And the reason was him being in a position not very pleasant to play.

Our conversation inspired me for this article.

As one of the strongest heartbeats in an extraordinarily united locker room, Andringa often picked out the music that was played over the speakers while dancing to his own drummer (Earth, Wind and Fire's "September" would later climb to the top of his play list).

Less than 72 hours after his chemotherapy treatments were discontinued at the end of April on his doctor's recommendation, Rob Andringa was still fighting the fight; a spirited and courageous fight that he had fought since being diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in mid-December of 2017.

During her May 1 journal entry on CaringBridge, Christi Andringa had revealed that Hospice was the next phase in her husband's journey. While extolling his indefatigable drive ("He's a tough dude"), she spoke of the kids and the strength and compassion that Jack, Carson and Dara had shown during their father's battle. She also promised the "five of them" would carry on with "ginormous love."

During the last 30 months, Andringa's fight gave rise to #RingoStrong, a rallying point for his old UW teammates, his co-workers with RBC Wealth Management and the Big Ten Network; and his legion of supporters, young and old alike in the Madison community, that were drawn to his narrative.

Upon pulling back from the chemo, Andringa stressed that he was not done fighting. But he offered a candid glimpse of his battle. Among other things, he had lost his appetite contributing to a steady weight loss that sapped his energy and compromised his strength and mobility.

Not that he wanted anyone on the outside to know what he was truly feeling on the inside. From time to time, he mused, there were cravings. Like for a Frosty from Wendy's. Or for cherry pop tarts that he could wash down with a Mountain Dew. At least it sounded good to him.

"I've had so many drugs in my body now for two plus years that it just kind of wears on you," he was saying on May 3 from his home in Stillwater, Minnesota, 30 minutes from Minneapolis. "When you think about it, there may not have been a month when I haven't had anything or taken a pill or done something. It's just kind of where we're at right now. Sometimes you've just got to suck it up more.

"It was a tough day (April 29) when we had to tell the kids what was going on. For most people when they hear Hospice, they think, "Oh, my God, he's only got a week to live.' But that's not the case. I don't know how much time I have. But I know there are different layers to Hospice. You have to take it as another step in the journey. When you get into this situation, you have to be able to recalculate.

"The doctor has always said the reason why I've had so much success with my treatments up to this point is, 'Because you're optimistic and you have given yourself hope. You've accepted what you have.' So, I'm still just focusing on the fight versus focusing on 'Why me?' In the back of my mind, I know we're going to find a way or something miraculous will happen. That's the mindset I've always had."

"The first thing I think of is his courage in dealing with it (the cancer) in a way that you admire from the standpoint that he never looked at it and felt defeated or felt that adversity wasn't part of life," said Wisconsin men's hockey coach Tony Granato, a longtime friend and confidant.

"Robbie was going to do everything he could to fight it as best as he could. I really don't know how to describe it, but from the outside, you wondered how he could find that strength and courage to have the attitude, spirit, morale, and energy every day. And that was true every time we saw him.

"Fortunately, we got to see him a lot because he did a lot with our team. He could have chemo the day before and he'd show up in the building and he'd be full of energy and smiles. His love and spirit of living was something I don't know I've seen in anyone going through what he has gone through."

"His whole thing with me was, 'When are they going to retire our number?'" recalled Granato, who wore No. 21 on his Badger sweater; the same number that Andringa wore during his four years. Prior to them, the No. 21 was worn by the incomparable Chris Chelios who went on to NHL stardom.

"I kept telling Robbie, 'Hopefully someday they'll retire Chelly's number and we can pretend that we were part of that,'" Granato kidded. "Me and Robbie have always had that bond with 21. There's a special meaning to it for us. That's why we called each other the 21 brothers."
