Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa Bryant has paid tribute to her late husband on what would have marked his 42nd birthday. While paying tribute to her husband, she said she wished she could “wake up from this horrible nightmare”.
Vanessa Bryant posted on her Instagram page that she loved and missed her famous basketball star husband and daughter, Gianna “more than I can ever explain”.
Vanessa wrote: “To my baby. Happy birthday. I love you and miss you more than I can ever explain. I wish you and Gigi were here to celebrate YOU!”
“I wish I could make your fav food or a birthday cake with my Gigi. I miss your big hugs, your kisses, your smile, your loud a** deep laugh.”
She described how she was at the verge of breaking down but had to maintain a positive attitude for her other children, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri.
She wrote: “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.”
Mrs Bryant revealed wished she died before her husband and daughter because it was too painful to exist without them.
She wrote: “I’m mad I didn’t go first… It should’ve been me.”
“I know my Gigi is celebrating you like she always has on our special days. I miss my thoughtful princess so much.”
