Tom Brady's Heartbreaking Kobe Bryant and Gianna Post Has Fans Weighing In

Tom Brady recently took to Instagram to post a heartbreaking tribute to Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, and fans are weighing in on the memorial. In a written message shared to the social media site, Brady wrote, "I have been deeply affected by the passing of Kobe, Gigi and the others in that tragic flight weeks ago. Since then, I've witnessed the well deserved outpouring of love and support for the families that had so much left to give, and it's helped me reflect and gain perspective. I know that love peace and joy will always endure. And in this tragedy, I have learned so much. Why has this touched me in the way that it did? Why has it kept me up all night, and brought me so many tears?"

"In his second chapter, you saw even more," Brady went on to add. "You saw his excitement for life, and for achieving in areas only he thought possible. He became more of an entrepreneur, media mogul father, husband and mentor among other roles. And he didn't stop with himself. Kobe didn't care whether you were a man or woman, boy or girl, black or white, rich or poor, ordinary or extraordinary, he wanted you to become the best you could be."

"If there's anything I have learned and been inspired by through this tragic event is this, SEIZE THE DAY," Brady later ended his statement. "That's what Kobe always did, and that's what he wanted for us too."
