Ashley Cain took to social media to share a painful tribute to his eight-month-old daughter Azaylia who sadly lost her battle with leukaemia at the weekend.
In the heartfelt tribute to his fighting “champ” daughter, he emotionally penned that his heart had been shattered before thanking his daughter for “saving his life”.
Azaylia had fought a tiresome battle before her death, with more than £1.5million raised to fund specialist treatment for her in Singapore.
However, after the cash for her treatment was raised, parents Ashley and Safiyya Vorajee were delivered earth shattering news that she wouldn’t be able to make the trip as more tumours had been found all over her body.

“You gave my life purpose, my face a smile, filled my heart with love and my soul with pride.
“I can’t put into words my sadness and pain, there aren’t words to describe it. I love you with every ounce of my body and I miss you so much already.
“You made me a better man. You made me the person I’ve always wanted to be. You’ve taught me more in your 8 months than I’ve learned my whole life.
