ASHLEY Cain has posted a moving video of him praying to his daughter Azaylia in the sea.
The star, 30, lost his baby girl toa rare and aggressive form of leukaemia in April and has been sharing how he’s been coping with his grief on social media ever since.
Ashley has been visiting his daughters grave everyday to pay his respects, and he’s also been keeping his mind busy with long distance bike rides, swimming and running.
After a run along the coast with friends, Ashley and his pals went for a swim in the sea and that was when he felt at one with his daughter.
The reality star stayed in the water as he felt “something euphoric” and went on to pray with her in “such a peaceful but powerful moment”.
His friend Rehan Khalid captured the short time on video for Ashley to treasure forever.
I felt something euphoric.

The grieving dad posted the footage on his Instagram and put American motivational speaker Eric D. Thomas’ speech over the top.
“You’re going through so much pain, You’re going through so much agony.
“You’re ready to give up, You’re ready to quit. I got one word for you… warrior! Warrior!
“Listen to me very carefully, you are a warrior and it’s time for you to fight,” the author says.
I spoke with my daughter and prayed in such a peaceful but powerful moment I can’t explain.

Ashley explained how the experience made him feel in the caption.
He told his 1.9m followers: This was an amazing moment after such a difficult few days.
“We ran 10 miles along the coast before a very cold swim in the sea. I stayed in the water for a period of time after everyone else got out because I felt something euphoric.
“I then climbed out of the water and I spoke with my daughter and prayed in such a peaceful but powerful moment I can’t explain.
“I couldn’t ever have planned for that moment, but I made sure I embraced every second of it.
“Thank you @rehankhalid for spotting this and capturing something so special.”
It comes after Ashley got a stunning lion neck-tattoo in tribute to his late daughter.
Earlier this month he decided to get a permanent reminder of Azaylia inked on his body, which was took 16 hour to complete.
The stunning design is an animal that means a lot to Ashley, partner Safiyya Vorajee and Azaylia.
Their family often refer to her as their “lickle lion”.
Ashley shares Azaylia with partner Safiyya Vorajee, who has also been very honest and open with her followers about her loss.
On Wednesday she claimed she saw her daughter’s face in the sky.
She shared the image and told her followers: “I’ve been sent this so many times. Azaylia Diamond Cane. My daughter, my hero, my inspiration.”
Azaylia was born in August 2020, then in October she was diagnosed with leukaemia.
