Zoey’s cancer diagnosis came at the tender age of three. She was raised by a caring family, and before her cancer diagnosis, she was a typical active youngster.
She was fun-loving, carefree, and cheerful. While playing, Zoey took a tumble one day. A few weeks later, she reportedly lost function in both hands. They knew something was wrong with Zoey, so they rushed her to the hospital.
They heard a message that will eternally resonate in their hearts and minds when they finally arrived.
The doctor broke the news that their lively and loving young girl, whom they loved so much, had a rare and severe brain tumour called DIPG.
We were at a loss for action and direction. This is essentially a death sentence, the mother, Casey, told the UKMAGE.
A terrible tragedy and nightmare would befall the family, the likes of which no one would desire on their worst enemy.
But they held it together and tried to be brave for Zoey’s sake. Zoey would undergo a number of therapies for her cancer over the course of two years.
The family eventually located a centre in Germany where Zoey’s radiation therapy was successful. However, after a time, her responses ceased.
Her condition rapidly deteriorated. The inconceivable was on the verge of occurring. Zoey passed away at her home in the United States on July 4, 2018.
Even though the news of her impending death was sad, her parents were able to spend some quality time with her before she passed away.
Even in her last moments, Zoey kept on making others happy. Friends and family were urged by her parents to come visit her immediately.
Now, her mother has taken the bold step of posting the family’s last Facebook status update. “I shared it because even though it’s a painful moment, it’s a beautiful moment in our eyes,” Casey said to Daily Mail.
Both parents are holding their beautiful baby girl in the photo. They were sitting with the family dog on the sofa. All day long, they had sang Disney tunes. On the TV, I saw a Harry Potter film.
And then, without warning, Zoey was no longer a part of the tranquil scene. Zoey’s heart gave out after she had watched the film for around 45 minutes.
A small number of families were sharing their experiences, and at first I didn’t believe I was going to be one of them.But then I thought, “I want a photo like that taken of me.
” She told UKMAGE, “I want those moments captured so that I can remember them forever even if my brain is gone.”
The family of Zoey, who passed away many years ago, has created a Facebook page called Zoey’s Light to continue spreading the joy and inspiration she brought to the world.
They hope that, one day at a time, the kindness and generosity shown by Zoey’s friends and family will spread and encourage others to do the same.
No parent should have to go through what Caseby and Ben did. You two, Casey and Ben, have been the best parents in the world.
The prayers I say will never end. With her passing, Zoey has become a guardian angel. Sadly, Zoey has passed away.
