Days before the Bucs divisional round game, Brady’s wife, Gisele Bundchen, shared a post about enjoying things for the final time.
The video collage shared on Instagram depicts Gisele, Brady, and their children at various locations around the world.
The supermodel is seen bathing near a waterfall, dancing with boxing gloves on, meditating with her daughter in front of a sunset, playing the guitar, and jumping around on a trampoline with her son and daughter.
One of the final flicks showed Brady and his three kids, Jack, Benjamin, and Vivan, horseback riding in what appeared to be a forest.
Gisele added the following captions to the video collage: “Life is precious because you cannot watch it again. This is what makes life so magical. One day you will eat your less [SIC] meal. Smell your last flower. Hug a friend for the last time. Without knowing this will be the last time.
“That’s why you need to do everything you love with passion. Enjoy all the years you have left. Because this is the only thing that exists.”
