There are athletes.  There are rock stars.  There are movie stars.  Then there are the one word names for the brand of each of the aforementioned categories:  Kobe……Madonna…..Gable….you get the idea.  Today…we lost Kobe.  We all asked the one word question “Why?”

I won’t kid you.  I don’t have the answer.  I can only tell you what I know.  In 2015 I was dead for about 45-100 seconds.  I was in a coma for six days.  There is a different level.  I can’t call it heaven because I have no idea what it was.  On this level there is a different mind set of comprehension.  Do not make the mistake of judging the future based on the knowledge of today.  It will never work.

I, like you, am stunned by the death of Kobe and his daughter.  I have thought what those final moments may have been like.  My initial thoughts are that they were terrifying.  I then thought of what I was able to view.  A different level.  A different perspective.  How do we not know that those final moments were not peaceful and gratifying?  We don’t.  Yet that is the thought I will cling to.  Thank you for reading my friends.
