A Brief Letter Of Grief
Dear Kobe,
The world is reeling from your loss and most of all for the unimaginable road ahead for those left to continue living in your absence. The same goes for your daughter and for your friends. It’s entirely impossible to comprehend what each of these families are experiencing tonight. I will not try.
The outpouring of love and condolences feels like nothing I’ve seen, and I’ve tried to comprehend why this is. The best I’ve come up with is that your impact reached deep within, and far outside the realm of athletics. You showed us all what it looks like to strive for the farthest reaches of human potential. In your pursuit, you challenged everyone to look deeper within themselves to find something more and to accomplish something greater.
