"He was even buried with his Kobe shoes."

This insightful article, written by the oc register's Kevin Ding, won't ever make it to the desks at espn, yahoo sports, or tnt, but at least WE know.
Talking heads will always spew their mental masturbation within their circle jerks, far removed from a quietly defiant reality.
A sobering, compelling, humbling, inspiring reality.

This isn't a story about saving grace or everything working out. What the sadness does lead to is Bryant holding his daughters for an extra deep breath at bedtime, and perhaps we can all resolve to appreciate what we have a little more.
...When Bryant left, under his arm was a book the boy from Dallas had made out of construction paper, and on the last page was this, scribbled childishly but in very sure all caps: "THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY WISH COME TRUE."
That is so touching !
These stories show us to be thankful with what we have and do not be discontent !
Kobe is the man !
