Ever since the news broke out about the untimely demise of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, the world could not recuperate from the loss. Kobe took Gigi with him, leaving Vanessa Bryant to take care of his other three daughters, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. 

The beginning of the new decade has not kicked off well, from looking at the things we have been through in the past few months. For the Bryant family, it becomes even tougher to handle it without Kobe, who always stood as a pillar of strength to his loved ones. 

Vanessa has been extremely strong in accepting the fact that life has to go on. On a positive note, she has been receiving so much love and support from several personalities who loved Kobe.
