Tragedy in Brazil

It is a sad week in soccer, and the whole world is feeling it.  A soccer team from Brazil, Chapecoense, was traveling to Colombia and the plain crashed in Rionegro, killing 71 of the 77 people on board.  This was a tragedy, there is no other way to put it.  As a soccer fan, I just can't help but feel for the country of Brazil, especially the families of these soccer players.  Chapecoense was on the verge of a cinderella-type season.  They were about to play the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final.  Chapecoense's season this year was easily the most success they have ever experienced since the club was founded.  This team had all of Brazil's support as they were the obvious underdog in the majority of their recent matches.  Life is too short.  A team and a country went from celebrating an incredible win to a time of mourning.  The whole situation just seems impossible, like it just can't happen.  It is impossible to believe that the plane crashed due to a fuel shortage.  It is impossible to believe that 71 people, 71 helpless people, lost their lives.  They left their families without saying goodbye.  Human beings, just like all of us, no longer have the chance the enjoy the wonderful gift of life.  Heaven just gained some incredible soccer players.  Peace be with their families, peace be the club, and peace be with the country of Brazil.  God Bless.
