While the Bryants’ youngest daughter posed for a pic with her mom and family friends, Vanessa and Kobe’s oldest daughter, 17-year-old Natalia, celebrated the start of her senior year of high school.

Kobe Bryant Day came one day after what would have been Kobe’s 42nd birthday. In a heartbreaking post on Sunday, Vanessa paid tribute to her late husband and daughter, writing that “it should’ve been me” who died.

“I wish I could wake up from this horrible nightmare,” she wrote in part. “I wish I could surprise our girls and welcome you and Gigi home to us. I’m mad I didn’t go first. I always wanted to go first so that I selfishly didn’t have to feel this heartache. You were supposed to miss me. Gigi was supposed to be here with her sisters. It should’ve been me.”

Kobe, his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven others died in a helicopter crash in January. He was 41.
