big group caring hug on this day. very sad, stunning tragic news. about Kobe Bryant, others. shocked

Hi angel friends. Big warm caring hugs. i just wanted to begin my journal, with a note about the very tragic news that broke this afternoon, before i get to my normal writings. the tragic news this afternoon, has saddened and stunned us all. The tragic passing of NBA Legend, Kobe Bryant, and 4 others, on board a helicopter in California. as a fan of sports, and having grown up, with baskeball a huge part of my life, from days when i played basketball, to my love for college basketball, and the NBA over the years. it's very sad, and tragic, to hear of Kobe's passing, along with 4 others on board the helicopter that crashed. our deepest sympathy, and condolences, with lots of love, go out to Kobe, his family, friends, and all on board the helicopter. it's incredibly sad, and tragic news. our hearts are with them all. i watched a lot of Kobe's and the Laker's games, my dad and i, huge fans of both him and Shaq, and their days of winning NBA titles in the early 2000's. Kobe was an amazing force in his playing days in the NBA, and off the court too, a force in life, that touched the lives of many. i was 15 years old, when Kobe got drafted in the NBA, out of high school. very sad news, and has stunned us all. just can't believe the news. i did some earlier writings, i want to share from our day here at home. just very stunned right now and at a loss for words, with the tragic news this afternoon.

Hi Chris I heard about Kobe B this afternoon someone posted something about it on Facebook. So I put CNN on and found out it was true I saw an update on my homepage here that one of his daughter was with him on the helicopter. Sadly she has died with him today. I'm not a basketball fan but I know he is a big name and was active in his California community Pray for his friends and family now they will need it. I enjoyed seeing your nature photos and happy you're looking forward to a fun super bowl week. Thanks for all my nice hugs today Have a good night hugs to all-Stephanie

It was very sad to hear about kobe , his daughter and his friends. He was young and accomplished so much. I wont be watching the playoffs. My hubby only watches Eagles games. I hope you and Holly have fun watching it. It sounds like you had a busy weekend. Its nice the way you help take care of the animals. Have a happy Monday.
