It would’ve been his 42nd birthday on August 23. Just months after his untimely passing, Vanessa Bryant is honoring her late husband Kobe Bryant with a heart wrenching letter she posted online on Sunday. The beautiful mother shared her deepest sentiments about her husband and late daughter, Gigi.
“I wish you and Gigi were here to celebrate YOU!” she posted. “I wish I could make you your fav food or a birthday cake with my Gigi. I miss your big hug, your kisses, your smile, your loud ass deep laugh.”
She also thanked Kobe for being a source of strength and wisdom.
“I think about everything you would do in situations to help me deal with everything thrown my way,” she posted. “Thank you for growing up with me and teaching me how to be strong. How to try to see the best in people but cutout the bs.”
She continued, “Our lives feel so empty without you and Gigi. I’ve been completely broken inside. As much as I want to cry, I put a smile on my face to make our daughters’ days shine a little brighter. I’m not the strong one, they are.”
Orange County Board of Supervisors declared August 24 as Kobe Bryant Day, celebrating the Los Angeles Lakers legacy and impact. The day is intended to encourage “aspiring youth to follow their dreams.”
In Black Mamba fashion, Kobe Bryant Day will be remembered for one of Kobe’s mottos to live by, “The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.”
