As hunters we tell ourselves that we are strong – we train, we sweat, we take hits, we get up. But sometimes the most difficult fight happens in silence, in the mind. Mental health is not a weakness. It is part of being human. And we have to talk about it. We must contact us. We have to lean on each other.
Ricky, thanks for everything. For your fighting, your moments of glory, your grit. Thank you for pushing us and shows us what is possible. For everyone who reads this: if you hurt or struggle, you are not alone. Conversation. Reach out. Because we need more light, more compassion, more understanding.
Rest good, Ricky. You always have your place in the ring of our memories. “
