Washington previously shared a touching tribute to her younger brother in August of that year, on what would have been Bryant's 42nd birthday. "I've typed and deleted this so many times. There are simply no words to describe how I'm feeling today," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "So many people around the world miss 'The Black Mamba', I miss my little brother. The one who listened without judgement and loved me unconditionally. There are no words to express how much I miss you. Happy Birthday Bean❤️ I love you! 👼🏽🐍🐐." Washington shared three pictures with the post, including a black-and-white shot of her brother as a child. She also shared a moving quote about how "there are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they have gone the light remains." Shortly after Bryant and Gianna's death, Washington also honored her late family members with a tattoo of their jersey numbers, 2 and 24, surrounded by a snake in the shape of an infinity symbol. (The snake is a reference to Bryant's famous "Black Mamba" nickname.)
