Gisele Bündchen shared a moving tribute to her late mother, Vânia, who passed away last November, as she marked Mother’s Day.
Posting on Sunday morning, the Brazilian supermodel expressed the deep emotional impact her mother’s absence has had on her: “It’s still hard to say ‘mom’ without getting emotional. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss my Mom. My mother was an amazing human being who always helped everyone around her. She was an incredible role model for my sisters and I. She was strong, loving, and compassionate. There was nothing she couldn’t do. She used to say: ‘Children are forever. You will always be concerned and wanting to protect them, it doesn’t matter their age.’ Being a mom is the best, sometimes challenging but always a rewarding experience. I am forever grateful for my Mom’s guidance.”
Gisele continued, reflecting on her mother’s enduring presence: “Mom, even though I can no longer feel your embrace I know you are always watching over our family and being our guiding light! Te amo mãezinha. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms. Sending so much love your way ??.”
