The note to Kobe Bryant will leave you in tears.

Vanessa and Kobe Bryant wed on April 18, 2001, after meeting on the set of a music video when she was still in high school and he was just 20 years old, per Entertainment Tonight. 

The devoted wife and mother pays tribute to her late husband on what would be their 21st wedding anniversary, after losing Kobe and their 13-year-old daughter, Gianna in a tragic accident 2 years ago. 

The 39-year-old philanthropist posted a photo of Kobe Bryant carrying her on his back to Instagram with the caption, "I love you forever, baby. Happy Anniversary." She also added #21 since this would have been their 21st wedding anniversary. The comments are flooded with hearts and support for the widow.
