I love you.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n Emma also reflected on the difficulties of this day<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Today is my husband’s birthday,” she said in a video<\/a>. “I have started the morning by crying as you can see by my swollen eyes and snotty nose. I just think it’s important that you see all sides of this<\/a>. I always get this message or people always tell me, ‘You’re so strong. I don’t know how you do it.’ I’m not given a choice. I wish I was. But I’m also raising two kids in this. So sometimes in our lives, we have to put our big girl panties on and get to it. And that’s what I’m doing. But I do have times of sadness every day, grief every day. And I’m really feeling it today on his birthday.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The CocoBaba founder later shared a\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0featuring Bruce and his family from over the years.<\/p>\n “He is pure love,” she wrote. “He is so loved. And I’ll be loving him always. Happy Birthday my sweet. My birthday wish for Bruce is that you continue to keep him in your prayers and highest vibrations because his sensitive Pisces soul will feel it Thank you so much for loving and caring for him too.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For the latest breaking news updates, click here to download the E!
