Vanessa Bryant just honored her late husband, Kobe Bryant, on his 47 -year birthday.
It has been more than five years since the NBA legend died at the age of 41 in a helicopter accident with his and Vanessa’s 13-year-old daughter, Gigi Bryant and seven other people.
By going to her official Instagram account, Vanessa published a photo with her and Kobe where she can be seen kissing the sportsman on the cheek.
“We love and miss you and gigi so much. Sending our love to you. Happy birthday, baby,” she wrote the post.
Vanessa is also a mother of children, Natalia Bryant, 22, Bianka Bryant, Eight, and Capri Kobe Bryant, six.
Her emotional tribute comes a month after she shared how her youngest child has followed her father’s footsteps.
“As a father, as a daughter,” she wrote on an instagram showing a shared photo of Capri that emulated Kob’s attitude while she had a basketball.
In addition, two months earlier the eldest daughter, Natalia, honored her father’s memory during her university exam.
While graduating from the University of Southern California, she included her late father’s trademark logo on her robe.
