Vanessa Bryant has praised her late husband, Kobe Bryant, in light of their anniversary.
Vanessa Bryant Praises Her Late Husband Kobe On Their 20th Anniversary
Had Kobe not died in a tragic helicopter crash, the couple would have been celebrating their 20th anniversary. That has not stopped Vanessa from remembering him, though. In a post to her fans on Instagram, Vanessa shared a picture of their wedding day. The post was captioned by the following comments: “Happy Anniversary, baby. I love you. 20 years. Kobe Bryant.I love you for now, forever and for always.”
Vanessa has had the arduous task of being a single mother. She was left to bring up three children: Natalia, Bianka and Capri. Things were not made easier following his death. Numerous allegations began to emerge over whether Kobe had raped some women. While Vanessa denied that Kobe could ever be capable of doing such things, it did still leave her with unwarranted attention.
Nevertheless, Vanessa has done a fine job of bringing up her kids. Her eldest daughter, Natalia, made Kobe feel proud as she was recently accepted into a university. Had Kobe been here today, he would have been looking down with a smile on his face. In a post on her Instagram, Vanessa told everyone how she was over the moon for her daughter.
She revealed: “I’m SO happy for you, Nani! I know Daddy is so PROUD OF YOU. I am so PROUD OF YOU!! Your hard work and dedication was so worth it. You pushed through the most excruciating pain imaginable, and you succeeded.” And yet, the family has had to deal with two anniversaries every year: the marriage and Kobe’s death.
Unfortunately, the latter continues to haunt Vanessa to this day. They had many plans in the pipeline, but it was not meant to be. That has left her with many unanswered questions. During the last anniversary of Kobe’s death, Vanessa remarked: “I will never understand why, how this tragedy could’ve happened to such beautiful, kind and amazing human beings. It still doesn’t seem real.” Kobe will continue to inspire many generations to come, but most of all, he will be remembered as a father who gave his family everything.
