"Happiness is such a beautiful journey," Kobe said in the video. "It has its ups and downs, whether it's marriage or a career, things are never perfect. But through love, we continue to persevere and move through it and get through that storm. And then another storm comes and guess what, you ride that one out, too," he further said.
"I think love is a certain determination and persistence to go through the good times and bad times with someone or something that you truly love," the athlete surmised.
Grieving wife Vanessa added an even more tear-inducing caption on the video. She wrote, "LOVE YOU. Miss you and Gigi so much."
Gigi refers to Kobe Bryant and Vanessa's second oldest daughter, Gianna Bryant, who died alongside her father in the tragic Jan. 26, 2020 crash.
Kobe left Vanessa their three other children,- Natalia, 17, Bianka, 4, and Capri, 1. She has been raising them all on her own. She recently got into a row with her own mother, who demanded to be paid for all the care and time she devoted to taking care of her grandchildren.
