A sad day for all of us?

Somewhere in this cruel cruel world a small boy was crying. He was all depressed and looked pale. His little heart seems to have been broken into thousand pieces. He didn't speak with anyone ...he just sat on the couch staring at the empty walls wondering why we humans had to go through all this..why we had to suffer

MOM: hey...what's wrong with you? Is everything alright?
SON: No mom...
MOM: Why?Whats the matter?
SON: He's gone mom..he's gone (getting even more emotional)
MOM (getting anxious):who?
SON: We won't see him again mom...
MOM (getting really anxious) : hey...you gotta tell me alright....who is gone?
SON: They say we will never get to see him again. They say he was a hero, a champion who will be missed... they were all getting emotional...they say things wont be the same for us again mom...
MOM (now the anxiety has turned into fear):
Son...you need to calm down and tell me alright... please you gotta tell me..we'll fight together...please son..tell me...how..
SON: you know mom...they carried him on their shoulders for the last time..they said it was due to him that we are inspired...but we wont see him again mom..we'll never be inspired to do anything mom..(continues crying...mom starts crying too...)
Then the frowning sister comes up and turns on the T.V...in the caption below :
