Ashley Cain’s Heart-Wrenching Tribute to Daughter Azaylia: 4 Years in the Making

BBG News

Ashley Cain posted an emotional message on social media, commemorating his little girl Azaylia, as they installed her headstone adorned with a crown, four years since her heartbreaking passing.

As a lifestyle expert reflecting on recent events, I find myself deeply moved by the heartbreaking story of a former star from Ex On The Beach, now 34 years old. Last year, in April 2021, this individual and his partner Safiyya Vorajee endured unimaginable grief when their eight-month-old daughter sadly succumbed to leukemia.

On a solemn Wednesday, marking the fourth year since her passing, the bereaved parents revealed the unique gravestone crafted for their dear Azaylia, whom they affectionately call her ‘crown’.

Reflecting on this special occasion, I found myself taking a moment on Instagram to honor my precious daughter. I was struck by an overpowering feeling of pride, but also wrestled with a heavy dose of guilt and unbearable sorrow.

Posting a picture of Azaylia, both in the hospital and at her grave marked by a beautiful heart-shaped headstone, he wrote an emotional message commending her ‘bravery and resilience’.

Over the past four years, I’ve found myself grappling with an unrelenting apprehension, knowing all too well that this day could mark the last act of support I can offer my child as a parent. It’s a moment no parent ever wishes to encounter.

However, on Azaylia’s 4th anniversary, amidst the heavy guilt and crushing sorrow… I find myself experiencing a profound sense of pride instead.

‘The pride belongs to a charming earthly princess, admired as one of heaven’s cherished angels. Now she possesses a unique coronet befitting the tale that is hers.’

Speaking right to Azaylia, Ashley confessed that he’s had trouble finding the right words to convey his deep love for her since she left us.

He exclaimed passionately: “It took me four years to compose these words, yet I recognize that they fall short in expressing the depth of who you are and the impact you’ve had on me as a father.

Your power, bravery, elegance, and innocence will likely never be fully captured or conveyed by others. The depth of your influence on this world and its inhabitants remains immeasurable and profound.

I truly hope that they demonstrate, being your father, the depth of my love for you. Rest assured, your mother and the entire family share this very sentiment as well.

In closing his poignant message, he stated, ‘The ache of missing you never subsides, and my affection for you is unending. For all eternity, with every fiber of my being – I remain your loving father.’

The striking ‘headstone resembling a crown’ bore a picture of Azaylia and was inscribed with the dates: ‘Earth – 10.08.2020, Heaven – 24.04.2021.’ This monument served as a tribute to our cherished daughter, Azaylia Diamond Cain.

Or simply:
The grandiose ‘crown-like’ headstone displayed a photo of Azaylia and was engraved with the dates: ‘On Earth – 10.08.2020, In Heaven – 24.04.2021.’ This stone marked our adored daughter, Azaylia Diamond Cain.

Azaylia, our valiant and stunningly lovely tiny fighter. You were far greater than any dream we could have conceived. Our marvel, our treasure, our champion.

Your love is unblemished, your resilience is indomitable, and your radiance knows no bounds. Time and again, you bravely tackled obstacles, illuminating the world with your beaming grin.

As a devoted admirer, I’ve never been more swelled with pride, Azaylia. The lessons you’ve imparted on living, battling, and loving freely have left an indelible mark on me, and that unwavering impact will continue to resonate deeply within me forever.

You’re deeply missed, but your impact continues to resonate, touching lives and making a difference. Keep beaming brightly as our guiding star. ONWARD TO VICTORY!

‘Forever and Always, with all our love, Mummy, Daddy & Your Loving Family’.

Safiyya too offered a tribute, stating: “I prefer to refer to it as her crown instead of a headstone, and similarly, I call it her garden using gentler terms. Softer words bring a sense of tranquility to something so weighty. It allows me to honor her in a way that feels tender, lovely, and authentic to who she was.

I passionately posted a soul-stirring rendition of When You Believe, sung by the unparalleled duo Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, for dear Azaylia on what turned out to be her last day with us.

In addition to sharing a picture of her family together in Azaylia’s garden, she acknowledged that the day was one of sorrow and tears, yet it held numerous joyful memories as well.

She added: ‘You are my magical guardian angel. I love you forever and always mummy’.

Ashley, a former football player, along with Safiyya, managed to gather over £1.5 million for the specialized medical care of Azaylia prior to her passing away.

Since her departure, I’ve been relentlessly channeling any remaining funds into The Azaylia Foundation – a beacon of hope that helps families navigate through their darkest days while their little warriors battle cancer. This foundation offers unforgettable experiences to these brave kids, making the journey a bit less daunting and more magical.

After their daughter’s passing, Ashley and their partner went separate ways. Later, Ashley had two sons with different women.

Last January, he introduced his one-year-old son Aliyas to a new companion and an unidentified woman. This partnership ended recently, and he also has a five-month-old son named Atlas.

As a lifestyle expert, I can share that while I, myself, don’t know who Atlas’s mother is, I can confirm that Atlas and this individual were once in a romantic relationship, but are now friends. Our friendship began when we were both 18 years old.

In the previous month, he expressed his desire for two more kids because he has often dreamed of having a larger family.

He shared with The Mirror: “Indeed, I believe that to be the case. With two older brothers, two younger sisters, and numerous cousins, our gatherings are nothing short of enchanting.

 

I’ve longed for a large family as it seems to provide a sense of community, with numerous individuals to care for and be cared by, much like a well-established team or network.

My father often expresses gratitude for having five children, as it means he never lacks companionship for activities. It’s truly lovely, and I aspire to experience the same situation myself. Absolutely, I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.

When asked if he frequently discusses Azaylia with them, he responded: “Absolutely, we often tend to her memorial garden and I eagerly anticipate better weather so we can visit it more frequently. It’s essential for them to understand who their big sister was, as she significantly shaped the man raising them in this world. I always feel a strong connection to her.

In January, Ashley finally spoke up about being a father for the third time, sharing that his two sons have been instrumental in mending his heart.

For the initial conversation with The Mirror, he expressed his feelings about his sons: “They’re simply stunning – they have been truly aiding in mending my heart. Let me clarify, there are nights when they might keep you awake, but everything is worth it. I am incredibly thankful for them.

He emotionally expressed: ‘I am certain that she would fall deeply in love with them, and they would love her just as much once I share all the stories about her with them.’

He added that he often visits her resting place with Aliyas and Atlas.

Ashley commented: “I wish my sorrow lasts eternally. I understand that in my sorrow, there lies only my love – I’ll remain thankful for as long as the feeling persists.

occasionally, individuals may attempt to escape their sorrow, yet a more enchanting journey might transpire if they embraced it fully, understanding that this sorrow is simply a testament of their deep affection for the one they lost.

Ashley shared news that Atlas arrived on November 29th, posting various pictures of the little one. She expressed her heart is filled with love and anticipation.

While the star was off working on a BBC program titled “Ashley Cain: Into The Danger Zone, an adventure-filled series, he unfortunately couldn’t be there for Atlas’ birth as Atlas came a month earlier than expected.

In another words, he penned: ‘You rescheduled your last three shooting days thrice, anticipating that your son would arrive late, as you were. However, he proved everyone wrong by coming a whole month ahead of schedule!’

Though it breaks my heart that I couldn’t attend, my heart swells with love and anticipation instead.

I am eagerly anticipating leaving the perilous areas and returning home to receive an extraordinary welcome – embraces, kisses, and cozy cuddles on the couch with my lovely little boy.

In my heart, Atlas, it’s etched that your big sister, Azaylia, will forever be a radiant, valiant, and protective guardian angel, always looking out for you.

Additionally, you’ll form an indestructible connection with your exceptional older brother, Aliyas, who will always be there to support, safeguard, and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you.

Let your physical strength increase, your intellect expand, your emotions stay compassionate, and your inner self remain sincerely potent! I’ll catch up with you shortly, son – I hold you in high affection.

On November 21st, Ashley shared the exciting news that he is anticipating the arrival of another child. He disclosed it would be a baby boy and expressed his happiness about the positive development following all the hardships.

Accompanying photos of his son Aliyas, and oddly enough, numerous shots of his lavender Lamborghini, he captioned it: “Another One” in the style of DJ Khaled.

‘Soon, my youngest daughter will gain an additional sibling, who she’ll take care of as a protective older sister. Meanwhile, my oldest son will transition from being the baby of the family to becoming both a newborn and an elder sibling at once.’

Ashley went on saying: “After everything I’ve gone through, I’m genuinely thankful that I can begin appreciating my blessings once more!

Now, I’m ready to travel to two perilous locations for the last installments of my freshly minted show’s series.

For the moment, it is with regret that I bid farewell, but eager anticipation fills me as I think about our next meeting, my dear boys. To my guardian angel, I shall always carry you close, for I sense your guidance in each stride I make.

As life often presents obstacles for us to navigate, it equally gifts us with precious moments that resonate deeply within us. Here’s to embarking on the exciting path that lies ahead, and to the remarkable individuals who enrich our lives along the way.

It is known that Ashley hasn’t revealed the identity of Aliyas’s mother, who is now one year old. However, he has shared details about their wonderful co-parenting bond in the past.

He informed TopMob: “We’ll remain friends and share the role of parents. Our relationship is strong, so it will continue in this manner.

It has truly been a pleasure for us to work together so harmoniously, despite any differences, as we both share the same concern for Aliyas’s welfare.

We hold mutual affection and admiration towards one another, and our shared goal is to strive as the finest parents possible for our son. Furthermore, we aim to savor every moment with him, while also cherishing each other and fully living life to its fullest potential.

We’re handling everything with ease, it’s quite comfortable for us. Making decisions is straightforward, as we always prioritize what’s best for our son, and that’s fantastic.

Following the birth, Ashley encountered criticism from his fans who deemed his son’s name, Aliyas Diamond Cain, as disrespectful to his former partner.

After giving birth, Ashley faced criticism from followers who considered the name Aliyas Diamond Cain disrespectful towards his ex-partner.

On Instagram, he disclosed that he had honored his deceased daughter by incorporating her middle name, Diamond, as it is part of our family’s tradition.

Safiyya expressed deep sorrow when she learned that Ashley had fathered a child with another person, and she asserts that he requested another attempt at having a second child together following their separation.
