Vanessa Bryant helps young fan realize his dream of meeting Kobe

Dreams do come true, if you want them bad enough to the point where you can't stop crying.

Well, at least that's the case for young Lakers fan Ayden, who arrived just late at a recent event where he was supposed to meet Kobe Bryant.

He was completely devastated.

Ayden's dream of meeting @kobebryant was crushed today. We were on our way to meet Kobe at an event in LA but upon arrival we were told we had just missed him @vanessabryant #kobe #kobebryant #blackmamba #kb24 #lakers #lakersnation #dreams #goals #losangeles #staplescenter

Luckily for Ayden, this video posted by his mother found its way to Kobe's wife, Vanessa, through the power of social media. Vanessa then arranged for Ayden to meet Kobe at a commercial shoot yesterday, and he was completely awe-struck.

Ayden and family, thank you so much for the beautiful flowers!!! I absolutely love them. I'm so sorry I couldn't meet you at the commercial shoot today but I'm happy Ayden was able to meet my husband. I'm so happy I was able to help. ❌⭕️❤️ @cali_coupons11

He'll need to work on those skills, but with Kobe as his new friend, he should be in good shape.
