Your name will live, your legacy will be remembered and I will seek peace in living as your vessel to continue inspiring, giving strength, spreading joy and saving lives in your name, with your spirit, as your father until we meet again.”

Cain announced in a 10-minute clip on Instagram Thursday, April 8, that his daughter’s health was declining and she had only “days to live.” Doctors had recently discovered two tumors were on baby Azaylia’s brain that were causing “too much pressure” in her head, and she was no longer able to continue with treatment.

As a result, Cain and Vorajee decided to take their daughter home from in-patient care to let her live out the rest of her days with them in the comfort of their own home.
