The grieving father filmed himself by his daughter’s graveside late at night, saying,
“You want to talk about pain, this is my life now as a devoted dad, with the most beautiful baby any father could ask for – this is my life now.”
He also showed Azaylia’s final resting place, which the former football and his girlfriend Safiyya have made “magical” for her — covering the land with beautiful glimmering lights, adorable stuffed animals and ribbons.
Cain added,
“When everything in my life felt bad, I used to see her face – it made everything better, and now I can never do that again.”
“I’ve got to live with that for the rest of my life, and I will come down here every night; I will sit with her for hours, I will talk to her,” he said. “What hurts me the most is… Obviously I miss her and I love her but that’s something I can deal with.”

He went on to say,
“What hurts me the most is the eight months of her life were eight months of pain. A life spent in a [sic] hospital, having chemotherapy, operations every day. Not outside walking, not seeing her family. In a hospital room with procedures, and even though she didn’t show it I know she was going through pain.”

He added,
“And I’ve got to live haunted by the fact that my daughter passed away in my arms, counting her last breath.”
Addressing fans’ concerns, Cain assured them that he would never give his life up.

“I know I got in my feelings a bit tonight, but I want everyone to know they don’t need to worry about me… My daughter fought so hard for her life that I would never, ever give mine up.”
Cain’s little girl passed away at only 8-months old from leukaemia, which caused her to cry blood and suffer nosebleeds. She was laid to rest last month in April.
We send our love and prayers to the grieving couple, and promise to keep little Azaylia close in our hearts and thoughts.
