What the world saw, and what it didn't
"Nothing could ever have prepared me for this. Some days it breaks me, and I can't even bear to do it. I always thought I was tough, but it brings me to my knees every single time."
Safiyya's beautiful baby daughter, Azaylia, was eight weeks old when she was diagnosed with leukaemia. By the age of 8 months, Safiyya and her partner, Ashley, had to say their final goodbye.
This is Safiyya's account of motherhood, hope and loss. It is about the unbreakable and incomparable bond between mother and daughter ... about what happens to a family when they face a life without the person that completed them, putting readers in the shoes no parent wants to be in. But, above all, it's a celebration of a remarkable little life that showed spirit that no baby should have to and a family who loved and fought to hold onto every precious moment.

Administrational, Positive, sincere, heartbreaking, honest, educational, rollercoaster of emotions
Like many other I followed Azaliya’s heroic brave story on instagram. I would think & pray for her & a miracle to cure her every night & she was the 1st person I thought of in a morning & would check online willingly for good news for her. Every day I was crying for this little bundle of strength with the most beautiful smile, that I’d never even met. When the sky is orange Id think there she is watching over mummy & daddy, she had the best parents anyone could dream of. I admire them & their strength & positivity trough out. I had this audio a while before reading it as I know it would be so emotional, this story beams love, light, strength, positivity, hope from all three of them & of course importance of education. Azaylia thought me to appreciate even the smallest of things I take for granted & now see them as big things & im grateful, thankful & show it. For the education first had side on cancer & the the warning signs Safiyya has given is priceless especially the way she has explained it in terms for everyone to understand. Knowledge is power. Ashley & club 100 is a lesson in itself. While Azaylia’s the likkle lion the three of them are “a Pride” together, Azaylia will beam with pride from having the best parents anyone would be proud of & for the work they are doing for others in her name. R.I.P beautiful girl truly a Angel on earth as she is now in heaven. Thank you for sharing your baby girl with us she’s a inspiration. Thank you for sharing you story. I wish you & Ashley the very best of everything. 🧡 💎🦁LETS GO CHAMP !
