It’s almost seven months since Kobe Bryant left this world. Last January 26, the Black Mamba died in a fatal helicopter crash with his daughter and seven others. Kobe is always remembered, by everybody, and today things are more special. He died young, he would have turned 42 today but life showed us it can be unfair a lot of times.

Plenty of people sent their congratulations to Kobe’s memory, from artists to huge companies around the world. We’re still trying to get over Kobe’s loss but things don’t get any easier for those who watched and idolized Bryant. Bean earned all the love and respect he receives now and nothing will change that. Starting with his wife, Vanessa Bryant, Kobe received a big message. Vanessa remembered Kobe’s favorite things, including his favorite popcorn.
