I can’t stop thinking about this poor little girl. My heart hurts for her family. I know she’s not the only child fighting a life threatening illness but she’s all I’ve thought about today.

Sorry if this post upsets anybody that is familiar with this little girl.

I’ve just been welling up after seeing her post. That must be the most gut wrenching pain waking up in the morning and her not being there. Wish I could Safiyya the biggest cuddle, she’s an amazing Mummy 🧡

OllietheOwl · 30/04/2021 10:22

My heart aches for them so much. I just can’t imagine what it must be like to have your baby there one minute and the next, they’re not. Even though Azaylia was poorly they still had to do all the usual baby stuff too, changing nappies, feeds, cleaning up after them etc. They must be feeling so lost right now. It’s just so sad Sad

Her post is devastating. I don't know how you find the strength to pick yourself up from losing your baby.

Wingingthis · 01/05/2021 12:50

I dread to think how on earth I’d carry on if god forbid I lost my baby. I don’t even want to think about it .. sending them so so much strength. I don’t even have the words to say this eloquently I’m just so sad for them xxxxx

Kate3150 · 01/05/2021 15:52

How has it already been a week since they lost their beautiful baby girl.
Still think about them every single day and cannot believe Azalyia is no longer with us. I miss seeing her so much on their updates I cannot imagine the pain they are feeling 24/7 🧡

withpeaceandlove · 02/05/2021 07:24

I think about her parents throughout the day, I can't imagine how they must be feeling but life must feel pretty impossible rn. Every time I see that they've put a story on I still half expect it to be little Azaylia watching Cocomelon or dancing with her family, it's just so so cruel.
Her sign in the sky for her mummy was beautiful, I hope she got some comfort from that 🧡🦁

Kate3150 · 02/05/2021 07:33

@withpeaceandlove- I’m also the same when I see they’ve put up an update, I expect it to be of Azalyia. I think for so long we have been checking in to see how her day has been, bless her little heart.
Sending love & strength to her family 🧡

Kate3150 · 03/05/2021 20:44

She’s lighting up the sky for her Mummy & Daddy. You’re a beauty Azalyia 🧡

have just set up monthly donations via Anthony Nolan as too old to go on register

Check the NHS bone marrow register, they take slightly older donors. If you give blood anyway tell them and they take an extra vial for typing and register you there.

OllietheOwl · 03/05/2021 21:22

@Kate3150 I’ve just seen Safiyya’s video. I mean, I’m sometimes a bit of a skeptic but that is crazy! That orange sky directly over their house for just a few seconds when they look up. I’d love to think it’s little Azaylia letting them know she’s still there. I do believe when someone recently passes if they need to let you know something, they will. I really hope this is bringing them comfort in these weeks after Azaylia left them.

Kate3150 · 03/05/2021 21:27

@TuesdayRuby- it’s breathtaking isn’t it. And for Ashley to say it’s the first time he’s smiled just bought a tear to my eye X

withpeaceandlove · 04/05/2021 11:29

So lovely to wake up to all the positivity in their stories, I'm glad they're able to find some comfort at this impossible time. I think about them and Azaylia all the time, every time a picture of her pops up on my Instagram I get a lump in my throat, hard to believe that she's actually gone but what a change she made in the world. Hope everyone who has struggled with this or has been through similar is doing okay🧡

NicoleKidmanSuperFan · 04/05/2021 21:49

I love seeing Ashley and Saffiya's posts about Azaliya and the sky. I hope they keep finding strength. Thinking of them everyday Smile

Kate3150 · 08/05/2021 20:50

I’m absolutely in awe of Azalyia’s parents and their strength. I regularly check in to see how they’re doing and it’s so lovely to read they’re setting up a charity to honour their beautiful likkle lion.
I will continue to follow their journey and be blown away by their strength, courage and dedication to carry Azaylia’s name with them wherever they go. Both amazing parents and I send them all the love in the world 🧡

lostitall · 08/05/2021 21:36

Safiyas story about not wanting to get out of bed and carry on and hoping it's all been a nightmare is just utterly heart rending
My best friend lost her daughter a few years back and I saw a glimpse of the sheer horror and absolute distress the loss of a child brings but nothing like a parent experiences. I'm so in awe of and thankful for all those who have lost a child to keep raising awareness and helping others despite their sheer heartbreak

OllietheOwl · 08/05/2021 22:53

It must be so surreal for them too. Like when Safiyya says she wakes up and wonders whether it’s all been a nightmare. My DD was in NICU unexpectedly after birth and I remember waking up those mornings after giving birth and not having DD with me, thinking “is this actually happening, is this real?!” And the sinking feeling of realising yes, it was. Not that it in any way compares to losing your child but I know that feeling - when you first wake up you’ve briefly forgotten what’s happened to you.
It’s just so sad.

Such a beautiful story from Ashley tonight. I’m so glad they are finding some small comfort from Azaylia in the sky!

I’m so happy about the GoFundMe update too and that hopefully the money raised can help some other families/children. It is a wonderful thing that hopefully will help keep her name and fighting spirit living on.

Such a fearless and loving little girl. The world can learn so much from her even now.

Let’s go champ! 🧡

Watching Saffiya's story tonight had me in tears. We all miss you sweet Azaylia, we won't ever forget you. X

Kate3150 · 10/05/2021 06:35

Ashley’s latest Instagram story had me in tears. They are doing Azalyia SO proud, they really are. We miss you sweet angel xx

lostitall · 12/05/2021 23:32

So sad to hear Safiya really struggling
I just wish I could give her a massive hug it's torturous

Kate3150 · 15/05/2021 19:37

@lostitall- I feel so emotional reading their updates, particularly tonight.
Them having to go through photos and videos for Azalyia’s day 🧡🧡.
We miss you likkle lion xx

Yes it's really heartbreaking to hear the daily effects they are suffering . I can't imagine and hope to never have to experience that empty feeling they will be right now

PippaRose · 19/05/2021 13:50

I’ll be thinking of them all tomorrow especially

PippaRose · 19/05/2021 13:50

Friday I should say
