Bryant, his daughter Gianna, 13, and seven other passengers died in a tragic helicopter crash on January 26.
Bryant’s wife Vanessa also shared a heartbreaking note on Instagram to mark the sportsman’s birthday.
“I wish I could wake up from this horrible nightmare,” Vanessa, who is also mom to 17-year-old Natalia, three-year-old Bianka and one-year-old Capri, shared. “I wish I could surprise our girls and welcome you and Gigi home to us. I’m mad I didn’t go first. I always wanted to go first so that I selfishly didn’t have to feel this heartache. You were supposed to miss me. Gigi was supposed to be here with her sisters. It should’ve been me.”
