Last month, Ashley revealed that the trauma of his daughter Azaylia’s death will “never leave him.”

Since her death, Ashley has dedicated her days to facing nearly impossible challenges and endured blood, sweat and tears to keep her daughter’s “legacy” alive.
Talking about Paul Carrick Brunson we need to talk On the podcast, the TV personality said, “I don’t think my trauma is ever going to leave me and I don’t want it to leave me because the pain I feel is the love for my daughter.”
During the emotional interview, Ashley recalled first discovering the signs that her daughter was sick and telling her about her cancer diagnosis.
He said: ‘One day my partner saw a raised lump on her stomach and she had a bruise. When we called, they told us to come straight in. They took Azaylia’s blood.
‘They told us it was AMR leukemia, which was very aggressive. She is at high risk that this disease will take her life and there is a low risk that they will be able to cure her.
“They told us right away. We were moved to Birmingham Children’s Hospital and that was my life going forward.
‘I went from feeling like I had everything I had ever wanted to having my whole life turned upside down. I collapsed. I couldn’t function, I struggled to stand and talk.’
Ashley and Safiyya were planning to travel to Singapore with Azaylia to receive specialist leukemia treatment, but doctors told them she was too ill to make the trip.

Ashley and Safiyya were planning to travel to Singapore with Azaylia to receive specialist leukemia treatment, but doctors told them she was too ill to make the trip.
Ashley recalled: ‘The day the consultant came and said, Azalyia’s tumors came back, she now has tumors in her stomach, kidney, spleen and brain and won’t be able to fly. There is nothing we can do about it.
‘The radiotherapy was too harsh, it would have killed her. At that point they said there was nothing more they could do.
‘I used to hope that my daughter could beat cancer and then I got to the point where my hope becomes that when she dies she will be peaceful and she can be in our arms.
Ashley became emotional as she remembered the day Azaylia passed away and said, “We continued to receive transfusions to keep her together so she would pass away peacefully.”
‘One morning we knew it was time, we made sure she was in his arms and I counted the seconds between her breaths until she stopped breathing. I can’t forget that moment.’
