As everything started to settle down for Vanessa Bryant, she got the same stress everyone is dealing with in regards to the pandemic. This isolation period for her is a good one. Vanessa is enjoying her time spent with her daughters sans fans and paparazzi following her around. Though her husband and legendary basketball player, Kobe Bryant isn't with her physically, including daughter Gianna, she is remembering them this Easter Sunday.
Christians everywhere are celebrating life after death, Jesus' resurrection. To Vanessa, this is something even deeper. Losing both husband and daughter in a helicopter ride in January, then grieving and slowly healing is a process she had to endure. Both Kobe and Vanessa were, and she still is, Catholics. Believing in life after death must also bring her and her family some comfort.
Vanessa took to Instagram to give the world a little sneak peak of the happiness she's experiencing. She shared a video of daughter, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 9-months.
In the clip, Bianka is hammering a large, blue-colored, chocolate egg. Baby Capri is watching her sister and twitching every time Bianka bangs on the Easter egg. Noticing that Bianka isn't hitting it hard enough, Vanessa takes the hammer and gives it a few good hits and makes a hole, revealing the contents of the surprise egg. "There's treats inside," says Vanessa. "Treats?" asks Bianka; she seemed more excited about the treats than the destruction of the egg.
Loads of shredded paper fill the egg. As Vanessa continues to remove the paper, Capri gives a very contagious smile. Bianka grabs a chocolate with excitement while Capri grabs a piece of paper (typical of babies to be interested in the irrelevant versus the actual gift). These two girls are adorable and their joy spreads to all who view the video. Though Vanessa's oldest daughter, Natalia wasn't in the video, could the comfy slipper on the left near Capri belong to the teen?
Vanessa recently honored her husband's success as an author. She posted on Instagram a picture of his book. She captioned the photo, "5 championships 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆. 5 NYT bestsellers 📖📖📖📖📖. The Mamba strikes again. 🐍👑. My husband @kobebryant would have been so proud to see his work continuing on with The #Wizenard Series: Season One. Thank you for supporting his legacy!!!! 🧡#GranityStudios"
