Bailey was only nine, but he left behind a lesson of love and courage that no one will ever forget.
Despite his illness, he welcomed the birth of his little sister Millie with immense joy. He became her protector, her guide, and her hero. Every gesture, every smile was his way of passing on love, even as his own health weakened.
Before falling asleep forever, Bailey spoke to his parents about his departure and asked them to smile after a moment of sorrow, so that Millie wouldn’t be afraid of the word “goodbye.” He wanted his life and his funeral to celebrate love, not loss.
On December 24th, he peacefully fell asleep, holding his sister’s hand in his own. His family and the entire town gathered to bid him farewell, in a celebration of gratitude for having met the gaze of an extraordinary child.
