Dear Kobe
I don't look up to many people and consider even less a Hero but you stood out among everyone. I was lucky and started watching Ball at 5 years old when you started building up Staples with Shaq, from there you crafted an incredible legacy that touched hearts all over the world. Mamba Mentality, Girl Dad, Oscar Winner, Entrepreneur, and a dabble in books we wouldn't see totally come out, you really did do it all and that's how you inspired us. You showed us how to Live a Life Worth Living and we had the honor of seeing that on a consistent basis because you loved the fans as much as we loved you.
I really wish you were here, 5 years later. It was gutting hearing about the crash, it was humbling seeing the fans that showed up at Staples that day to remember you and the others that lost their lives. Thankfully time heals and we can learn from the example you lead to be our best selves. I still think about you constantly for motivation and inspiration and I thank you for being there for some of the toughest moments. We'll never forget you Kobe Bryant you have a special place in LA's heart and across the world.
