Although I’ve experienced sudden loss of family member (and I wrote about it in my year-end post), the abrupt passing of Kobe Bryant still took me, and many others of the world, off-guard. While I am deeply saddened by the loss of many young lives that perished in the accident, I wonder what the new world that they enter look like.

Some say it’s a paradise. And people are happy there. It’s said that they will be greeted by their loved ones that’s already been there. I wonder if there are colors and whether it’s cold or warm.

Lately, I learned that Steve Job’s last words in this world are “Oh, wow!” “Oh, wow!” “Oh, wow!” I bet it’s a beautiful world that he saw. Rest in peace and have a (basket)ball up there, Kobe, Gianna, and your friends that went with you!
