January 26, 2020: Life is Short

We shouldn’t have to be reminded of this, but today brought us a pretty big example. Kobe Bryant is dead at 41.

Wow, just wow. I wasn’t a fan, but when I first started reading the breaking news, I was hoping it was false. People die in accidents every day; we don’t blink an eye. We don’t know about most of them, even if you do watch the news; I don’t. I don’t need any reminders of how life is short; maybe I do need a reminder…maybe we all do. When someone we know dies, it hits home. Now most of us didn’t ‘know’ Kobe Bryant, but most fans feel like they did. To see someone that famous meet his end via this type of tragic accident is pretty messed up.

I recently began seeing stuff about him and his daughter, the one who died with him on this day. She was a basketball player too, and he was a proud dad. Coaching my son year round, watching him play, it doesn’t get much better than that. To be able to share that with your kid is pretty special. For her to be a part of this tragedy, is even more devastating. Seeing any kid lose their life at a young age just doesn’t seem fair.

Life isn’t fair; I guess that could have been the title too. I started my day off feeling that way. Sitting in church, looking at a kid in a wheelchair, severely disabled; looking at his parents, not even being able to imagine how difficult it must be for them to see their child suffer. I don’t ever want to know that pain. Losing a child? I can’t imagine anything worse.

Thinking about my “problems”, feeling like a real asshole. What problems do I have that are even in the same stratosphere… Then to come home and hear about this shit? Maybe we all need reminders… It sucks for the victims who provide these reminders. I pray for them; I pray for the family and friends who have to live with that pain everyday.

For us, it will be gone before you know it. Life will move on, and for most of us, we’ll go about our normal routine. We’ll continue complaining about our bullshit; we’ll continue to take things for granted. I don’t want to be that way. I don’t want to take any of my blessings for granted. I know things could be different in the blink of an eye. Nothing is guaranteed. I don’t need any more reminders. To Kobe, his daughter, and the other seven victims, rest in peace.

    Hated Kobe as a player but this hit me pretty hard. I guess it’s because of how it happened and the fact that I also have a 13 year old daughter. Can’t help but feel terrible for everyone involved. Life is short indeed.
