#1

This is a Thursday.

A normal Thursday for most people.

But for one family, it’s Black Thursday.

This morning, I read the heartbreaking news.

Diogo Jota, Liverpool’s soccer player, passed away at 28.

#2

I’m not even a Liverpool fan.

But as someone who loves watching soccer, this hit hard.

He just got married 11 days ago.

R.I.P. All my condolences to his family.

His death made me question how uncertain life is.

#3

He was healthier than I am.

He was richer than I am.

He was younger than I am.

But it’s gone.

Just like that.
