Now, while celebrating her 36th birthday on May 5, Vanessa revealed she made a touching discovery. As she explained on Instagram, she found a letter written by her husband, NBA legend Kobe Bryant, before his passing.

“Yesterday I found an envelope labeled ‘To: The Love of my Life. From, Tu Papi.’ I waited to open one more letter on my birthday. It gave me something to look forward to today.”

As Vanessa continued, she added that “the irony is that Kobe had a photo of me drawn with an Angel holding me up by an artist on the cover.” Wow.

“Missing the Love of my Life and my sweet little Mamacita- my fellow Taurus,” Vanessa concluded. “Grateful to wake up to my 3 sweet girls today. Wish we were all together. #MyBirthdayWish.”
