I am back!!

Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I last checked in on the blog. I wanted to share with you all why I’ve been absent for the past month and a half. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law passed away on August 12th, 2024, and just six days later, my own mother passed away on August 18th. It’s been an incredibly challenging time for my wife, as her mom was her best friend. On a more positive note, my mother lived to the impressive age of 104 and would have turned 105 this November, so instead of mourning her passing, I chose to celebrate her remarkable life. Following my mother-in-law’s funeral, I traveled to my home country of The Gambia to take care of family matters. I’ve just returned, and I reached out to Tom to let everyone know what I’ve been dealing with. I hope he was able to relay the message. Despite the slow summer, I’m grateful to be back and not to have missed much in the Lakers’ world during this offseason. I’m looking forward to starting this new chapter with my wife and immersing myself once again in following our team. It’s good to be back!
