as younger children in our schools, even those who didn't know

much about basketball,would yell "Kobe" when shooting a paper ball into the trashcan. even as we grow older we say it, but now it will feel bittersweet. he touched many world wide and will live on forever. nobody in that helicopter deserved to die that way. appreciate all those around you, our time in this world is never guaranteed.

Kobe Bryant will forever be the icon of our city, the city of Los Angeles.
may the souls we lost today rest in peace.🕊
