“17 years of us”

At first, Emma Hemming Willis explains that for her birthdays were “synonymous with enthusiasm” but are now events which “provoke melancholy”. “I give myself 30 minutes to let myself be invaded by the 'why him, why us', to feel the anger and the sorrow. Then I get rid of this state of mind and I return to reality”, confides the model.

She then describes reality as “unconditional love”. “I feel lucky to know this love and it's thanks to him”, she adds before concluding: “If I had to do it again, I would do it again and again without hesitating for a moment”.
