Ashley Cain has revealed the emotional reason he makes his bed.
The Ex On The Beach star penned an emotional tribute to his late daughter Azaylia on social media, explaining that he has a bed sheet with a picture of her face printed on it so he can see her every night.
Azaylia tragically died from a rare form of leukaemia back in April, aged just eight months old, leaving Ashley and his partner Safiyya Vorajee devastated.
Taking to his Instagram page, 30-year-old Ashley shared: “I’ve never been someone to make the bed, I always left it messy.
“This morning Saf told me that she was speaking to someone and told them that since Azaylia went to heaven, I’ve made the bed every day without fail.
“This is the reason why,” he explained.
Ashley went on to post: “We have a south facing garden which shines light through the bedroom window. So I make the bed and open the blinds so Azaylia can look at the beautiful sky all day.”
The footballer shared a heartbreaking tribute to his baby girl last week, who would have been turning 10 months “in heaven”.
Alongside an adorable video of Ashley cuddling up with Azaylia, he wrote: “My special girl turns 10 months old today in heaven.
“She brought so much happiness, love, strength, courage and gratitude into not only my life, but my partner’s, my family’s and even people around the world,” Ashley emotionally penned.
“Even though I am hurting beyond words, I feel blessed and proud to say I am your daddy and you are my daughter.
“You lit up the world when it was dark, you gave hope when there was despair and the legacy you left behind will continue to help families and children around the world for decades to come,” he continued.
“You were, you are, and you always will be special my baby. I love you and I miss you so so much! MY HERO.”
Azaylia’s mum Safiyya commented on the sweet tribute: “My beautiful baby 10 months today, my love for you continues to grow every day.
