“When my grandmother died, there was a feeling that I’m all alone in this world.  Her favorite saying was: ‘I’m always here for you, whenever you need me.’  Without asking questions.  Without judging.  My parents were different.  They wanted things from me.  They wanted me to be a good person, and graduate, and get a job, and do well.  But I kept failing.  I questioned everything.  I was bad at school.  I didn’t follow the rules.  I had purple hair.  And a nose ring.  And to make things worse, I had this perfect, beautiful little sister who did everything right.  But every time I messed up, I could go to Oma.  And she’d tell me: ‘Don’t worry so much.  These things aren’t important.’  And ‘I love you darling.’  And ‘You’re not a bad person.’  And ‘You’ll find a way to be happy.’  It could be so hard growing up.  It felt like the world wanted so much from me.  But my grandmother was different.  She just loved me.” (Berlin, Germany)

LeBron haters will find any reason to dismiss what he does…

“Being six is so hard.  I have to go to school, and do math, and do a lot of words, and spell things, and take tests every Friday, and exercise, and play games that I don’t want to play.  And mom says we’re going to have another baby soon, so it’s going to be crazy.  We wanted a girl but we got a boy.  I don’t even know what I’m going to do.  I already have one brother who hits too much and goes everywhere without permission.”

“It was my decision to leave. There were too many problems. She hadn’t kissed me in years. We’d argue over every little thing. Our son was grown and I just didn’t see a reason to stay. So I came home from work one day, packed up my things, and left. I’ve been staying with my sister ever since. It’s been a tough two years. I’ve tried to reach out but she isn’t talking to me anymore. My son isn’t speaking to me either. They want nothing to do with me. I biked over here for Father’s Day. I was going to knock on their door but I changed my mind. I decided to just let them be. I wish I’d never left. Even though we were always fighting, it still felt like I had a home.”

These stories 👌🏼. There’s a part of us all that wants to be heard. Not to start a conversation but just be heard, and afterwards, we sigh.

“My wife passed away last month. She started shivering when she came out of the bath, and then she fainted. I took her to the hospital but she had a heart attack before I could admit her. I’m trying to stay busy. I’m OK when I’m at work, but the minute I enter my home, I begin to think about her. Her photographs are still by my bedside. Thankfully my ten-year-old grandson has been sleeping with me. He watches my shows with me. And he talks constantly. He goes on about his school and his class and his teachers. A lot of what he says is nonsense, but I enjoy it. And when he falls asleep, I fall asleep.” (Jaipur, India)

I’ll never stop playing. I weigh more now. I’m slower, and it takes me longer to loosen up but you know what? I will always get buckets!!! Never stop.

10 years ago…Cleveland Cavaliers 2007 NBA Finals Intro .

Maybe the worst team to ever make the Finals. And people make fun of LeBron for losing Finals, when no other player would have been able to lead such team to the Finals.
