Something that has bothered me for awhile: it’s often not until someone dies that the outpouring of love happens.
Why wait until a person passes to write an obituary & share how we really feel?
Why wait to reminisce on your favorite stories together until after they’re gone?...

Kobe won’t get to witness the millions of people sharing touching stories of how he changed their lives, and how he has inspired the world as a role model of what it means to be a world-class father, leader, and athlete.

Kobe won’t ever see every NBA team honor him by taking #24 sec shot clock, and #8 sec backcourt violations.
Kobe won’t ever see the Mavs retire and hang his jersey in the rafters.
Kobe won’t ever see buildings around the world lit up in purple and gold lights in commemoration..

This of course extends beyond Kobe, and into the lives of all of us.
People aren’t immortal.
Let those you care about know how you really feel about them while they’re still here to hear it.

Agree completely. One of the reasons I try to make a big deal out of thanksgiving. Wish it was more socially acceptable to do so more often twitter.com/rajavick/statu… twitter.com/rajavick/statu…

Reminds me of this post:
It doesn’t matter what country, what culture or what background you come from…
Gratitude works.
Gratitude scales.
Gratitude creates a positive cycle of more gratitude.
When in doubt, default to gratitude.

Too true. A friend from college committed suicide & at the funeral SO many people were pouring out love, respect & admiration but I’m guessing he never knew people felt that way. Spent the next few weeks reflecting on that and how to make sure people know they’re enough and loved
