Vanessa Bryant marks 1st father's day without Kobe Bryant with emotional tribute
Vanessa Bryant honored her late husband Kobe Bryant on Sunday with a Father's Day post.
"Happy Father's Day to the BEST daddy in the world," Bryant captioned the post on her now-private Instagram. "We miss you so much. We love you forever and always."
The 38-year-old mother concluded the post with regards from the herself and the four children they shared --17-year-old Natalia Bryant, 13-year-old Gianna "Gigi" Bryant, 3-year-old Bianka Bryant and 1-year-old Capri Bryant.
This marks the family's first Father's Day without the NBA legend since him and Gigi died with seven others in a helicopter crash in January.
The Father's Day post comes shortly after Kobe Bryant's widow celebrated her youngest daughter Capri's milestone birthday.
"Happy 1st Birthday Capri! Mommy, Daddy, Nani, Gigi and BB love you SO much!!!" she wrote in a social media post for her daughter. "God Bless you sweet princess. Capri Kobe Bryant a.k.a. 'Koko-Bean' named after her dearly missed daddy, Kobe Bean Bryant. We miss you SO much Gigi and Daddy."
