She had her mom and John take photos during the delivery and after.
She wrote “I cannot express how little I care that you hate the photos.
How little I care that it’s something you wouldn’t have done.
These photos are only for the people who need them.
The thoughts of others do not matter to me.”
“For weeks, our floors have been covered in flowers of kindness.
Notes have flooded in and have each been read with our own teary eyes.
I can assure you, I did.”
“I thank you for each and every one of those.”
In a way, this essay is her response.
The poignant piece comes back to Teigen again thanking those who have reached out with support.
“[…]The moments of kindness have been nothing short of beautiful.
I went to a store where the checkout lady quietly added flowers to my cart.
Sometimes people will approach me with a note.
I beg you to like share your stories and to like be kind to those pouring their hearts out.
Be kind in general, as some won’t pour them out at all.”
