It's been months since Kobe Bryant passed on along with his daughter, Gianna. On Sunday, the late icon's wife, Vanessa Bryant, honored him with a lovely family photo for Father's day celebration.

She captioned the post, "Happy Father's Day to the BEST daddy in the world, we miss you so much. We love you forever and always. Love Nani, Gigi, BB, Koko and VB."

The post comes a day after Vanessa celebrated Capri's first birthday. She shared a photo that featured her late husband cradling their infant daughter in what was reportedly her first photoshoot.

Vanessa has been doing her best to keep her family together while keeping his legacy alive.

In the emotional snap, Vanessa, Capri and the late Kobe were all dressed up in white ensembles. In a tender gesture, Kobe held Capri with his left arm as he and his wife gazed down at their daughter with love and adoration.

For the birthday celebrations, Capri appeared to have had a small party among her loved ones. Her birthday was filled with lots of sweet treats, fun gifts and enjoyable family time.

Kobe and his wife welcomed Capri on June 20, 2019. Kobe took his Instagram page, following her birth, to announce the joyful news of her arrival.

Since his death, Vanessa has been doing her best to keep her family together while keeping his legacy alive.

She has reportedly been working with lawmakers concerning the Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant Helicopter Safety Act to ensure that the same kind of accident won't occur to others. Rest on Kobe and Gigi.
