What We Know About The Helicopter Crash?
News has it that the helicopter was cleared for flying on the said date but a series of investigations are being carried out.
How Does His World React To It?
It is indeed a sad day in the world as many mourn Kobe Bryant and the others who died in the helicopter crash. Some have reacted to the news with different emotions; anger, unbelief, fear, grief, loss, etc. even a large population who have never met the NBA player, have joined in mourning him.
In most cases, celebrations and festivities bring people together, but no matter how sad it is, LOSS will also bring people together. The death of Kobe Bryant is a show of how fragile life is. In one of his videos, Bryant admonishes us to know that ‘life is too fragile, and if you love someone, it is not enough to say it to them, but you have to show it to them’ and indeed that is what he showed his world.
His wife and daughters were his world. It is so tragic that Gianna died with him. Only few fathers have been able to accept and cherish having only daughters. Apart from former U.S. president, Barack Obama, Kobe had been such a father. He called his daughters his princesses and that is exactly what they are. Gianna was taking after her father’s footsteps and showed prowess in basketball.
Sometimes the thrill of having to spend the rest of your life with someone comes with the fear of losing them before you are ready. In this case, women seem to suffer a lot. Their husbands go to war, and do a lot of ‘manly’ things as society terms it. Each morning after making them breakfast and watching them leave the front door, we earnestly await their return. But in this case, he never came back.
Sometimes, even though we do not believe in the supernatural, we most likely cannot deny the pull we get. Maybe Bryant had gotten that pull as a few weeks before his death he had beautiful things to say about his princesses on his social media. The supernatural bond he had with Gianna made them inseparable even till death. Maybe, Capri’s birth was to make up for this, for she is Kobe Jnr.
Prayers For The Bryant Family and The Other Families Whose Loved Ones Died In The Crash.
The world lights candles and says prayers for them. Our hearts go out to Vanessa and we pray that amidst the grief of loss, she finds strength, comfort, healing and peace. We also pray for healing and strength for the families of the deceased.
