Miles had his hand up, so many of you reached out to say the most beautiful and incredible words I've ever seen on this platform.”

She continued, “You watched over the type 1 diabetes monitor and gave him so much love and encouragement in every way possible. I was, and am, so blown away by the kindness of this community already. I know. Things could be a lot worse!! So many parents around the world are going through unfathomable things that I could not imagine. I tell myself this every time we get a red alert on our phones. And we are so blessed to have so much help and a wonderful, kind, huge-hearted specialist.”

The Sports Illustrated The model also shared a photo of the book A year with Type-1revealing that she and Legend read it to Miles, leading to a touching moment.

“John and I read it to Miles last night and I broke down in tears on that page and had to leave the room so he wouldn't see me sob,” she wrote. “He really likes the book already. Anyway, you're not alone either! And we promise to be there for you, as you were already there for us!”
