“You are my Angel my heartbeat my soul, RIP my precious baby, you will always be with me like a handprint on my heart,” Vorajee wrote in her own tribute.

Taking Azaylia for a stroll, Cain had shared her doctor’s message on Instagram,“You can understand what that message means,” he said, “but the fact of the matter is that you make the most of it every day and we enjoy every day.”

“I’ll tell you one thing, I ain’t got no plans for going anywhere this weekend. I’m an optimist. I’m a believer. I have a positive mind frame and I know her strength and I know mine,” he continued.

On the same day, Vorajee wrote on Instagram that seeing her baby’s face in the morning, her “heart instantly overflows with abundance of love for you.” She added that Azaylia’s eyes have been “intensely dry,” requiring eye drops “so her eyes can move,” and that her care is around the clock “24/7.”

“Feeling the heartache more and more today, as the Nurses woke me up this morning for a home visit & told me to enjoy the weekend as they now think her body is slowly shutting down,” wrote Vorajee at the time. “I got told this a couple of weeks ago and she has stayed so strong through this I’m so proud of how strong you are Azaylia.”

 

“Hearing these words, rips and tears my heart and soul into pieces watching my little girl get tired is painful but giving her 100% everyday is what she was promised, even when her eyes are closed I talk sing and shake her fav rattles so she is constantly surrounded by a positive vibe,” the mom continued. “Appreciating the day the hour and the min is something I never thought I would do as we all take life for granted.”

She added, “Azaylia [you’re] my inspiration & my hero mummy loves you. For everyone reading this Have a lovely day enjoy your moments they are special.”

On April 8,in a tear-jerking Instagram video, Cain revealed that their daughter’s chemotherapy is was “not working” and plans to take her to Singapore for CAR T-cell therapy were no longer feasible given the discovery of tumors on her brain.

 

Cain explained that “the intrathecal treatment that is usually given to treat leukemia in the spine or the brain will not be available” due to “too much pressure” in her head.

“If they tried to even go through the spinal tap it would kill her,” he continued, adding that consultants told him at the time that “they think she’s only got one, two days to live— and it could even be that night.”

Vorajee has plans  plans to get a tattoo of her baby’s hands and feet to commemorate Azaylia “so I could always have her so close.”

 

In an April 16 Instagram post, Vorajee wrote that the “day me and Daddy was blessed with you Azaylia was the best day of our life’s, you have bought us happiness every single day, despite what we are faced with we made you a promise from the day you was born & told you again in intensive care and that was to give you 100% your whole life & that promise will never be broken.”

“No words can compare to how proud I am of you Azaylia, being a mummy has changed my life and this journey has humbled me & made me appreciate the true meaning to life & at number 1 is health,” she added.
