Photo of parents cradling their little daughter in their arms before she leaves touched the whole world

The parents of a five-year-old girl who died on July 4, 2018, due to a brain tumor have been sharing images of her final moments, and these photographs have touched the hearts of many people around the world. The most striking example is one in which the parents cradle the girl, accompanied by the family dog, about to pass away.

The girl was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was just three years old. Before that, she was a joyful and energetic girl, always on the move and very happy. The girl's parents began to notice something was wrong with her when she fell asleep while playing. A few weeks later, everything changed. They took her to the hospital, and the doctors' diagnosis turned out to be the worst they could have received: their daughter had a brain tumor.

The child went through very difficult times, and her parents suffered with her. It was a two-year struggle when she stopped responding to radiation therapy, and her health rapidly deteriorated daily. The parents knew the moment was coming, and they couldn't leave her, and decided to invite friends and family to say goodbye to their beloved daughter.

Until the end, the little girl was happy and spread joy around her. But on July 4th, the day her parents had dreaded most finally arrived. Her already frail and tired body gave up the difficult fight. They put on the Harry Potter movie and sat on the couch, lovingly cradling their daughter who was about to leave. Beside them sat the family dog, serene and sad, as if he knew what was happening.

Halfway through the film, Zoey's heart stopped beating, and she passed away. Her parents realized that despite knowing this day would come for two years, they weren't prepared. The photo was taken just hours before the child's heart stopped beating, and was taken by a nurse who was moved by the moment.

The photo has spread, and the story behind it has touched many people. The family hopes to spread the joy Zoey brought to the world, inspire others going through the same thing, and help them through grief and difficult times. "She was a little being who brightened every room and every occasion in our lives," her mother said.
