I will rewatch a lot of Kobe's interviews between today and tomorrow.  It's still hard to believe it will be three years on Thursday the 26th.  I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news.  I was standing in the kitchen with my wife and my son.  I've always respected his obsession, his dedication, his passion, and his commitment to his first love, basketball.  In one of his interviews, he said, I sacrificed so much while playing basketball so I would have no regrets once I ended that chapter of my life.  Then I will focus on the next 20 years. This statement had a profound impact on me after his death.

 “Life’s breath is but a whisper in a storm”

I constantly remind myself, tomorrow is not promised.  I have learned to be more balanced each day with all the important components of my life.  Don't wait until it's too late to say I'm sorry, I love you or I miss you.  Say the important things to the important people every day.

Have a great Wednesday!

Stay safe!
