Vanessa Bryant, one year after the tragedy: “It still doesn’t seem real to me”

It wasn’t a photo that kept the memory of Kobe e Gianna Bryant, but a letter, written by a friend of the thirteen year old. “Dear Mrs. Bryant, I think about you and pray for you constantly. I invite you, however, not to feel obliged to read all this. I can’t even imagine what I’m going through “, read the short letter that the basketball player’s widow posted online, a year after the plane crash in which she lost her husband and daughter. “I will never understand why and how such a tragedy could have happened to such beautiful, generous and extraordinary creatures,” wrote Bryant, to whom the letter was delivered by Aubrey Callaghan, schoolmate and teammate of little Gianna.

“I thank you infinitely for sharing with me the wonderful memories you have of my Gigi and for allowing me, in turn, to share them on Instagram”, he continued Vanessa Bryant. «My Gigi is incredible. I miss my little girl so much and I miss Kob-Kob […] All of this still doesn’t seem real to me. Kob, we did a good job. Gigi, continue to make your mother proud, ”wrote Bryant, in whose letter it was possible to read what an extraordinary person her daughter was.

Aubrey Callaghan, who said she was willing to share other memories of the 13-year-old, defined her friend as «proud and strong, generous and compassionate. He was always trying to teach us to be the best possible version of ourselves ”, the girl explained, reflecting no longer on the loss, but“ on the mark Gianna left on this earth ”.
