She continued to recall how she\u2019d written Ron a letter \u201cabout how grateful I was for him\u201d before going away for a week earlier this year.<\/p>\n
In it, she praised him for \u201chow hard he worked for us growing up and how much I love him\u201d.<\/p>\n
Teigen said: \u201cI am forever grateful for the moment I handed him the letter, and all our years before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alongside the emotional caption, Teigen shared a video of her dad complaining about salmon, and said: \u201cIf you didn\u2019t know my dad, my dad hated nearly everything in the world that wasn\u2019t a bass guitar, swing dancing, wood carving, animals, YouTube, or his family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have hundreds and hundreds of videos of him just being mad at things he isn\u2019t even doing, watching, or eating. They make me so happy now.\u201d<\/p>\n
She concluded by saying how much she loves her dad, and said: \u201cI will talk to you every night.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for being such a great dad\u2026 Until we complain again.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the comments section, Teigen said: \u201cThe video is my dad talking about raising me in the Pacific Northwest. He really loved it but boy did he hate salmon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teigen\u2019s husband Legend, who has four children with his other half, was among those commenting on her post, as he wrote: \u201cWe love you so much Papa Ron. I\u2019m so glad you got to spend so much time with your grandbabies. I loved seeing you beam with pride at the beautiful family you helped create.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one of Teigen\u2019s friends added in her comment: \u201cYour dad was simply one of a kind and you definitely got your sense of humour from him!<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will always be one of my favourites and I\u2019m so sorry for your loss. I\u2019m so glad I got to enjoy him as we grew up.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter how old we may get, nothing can ever prepare us for the loss of a parent, especially one as memorable as your dad!<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t wait to give you a big hug and cry together in person, love you so much!\u201d<\/p>\n
