Ashley Cain says he is remaining “optimistic” as doctors tell him to “make the most” of this weekend with 8-month-old Azaylia amid her fight with leukemia.

“You can understand what that message means,” he says, “but the fact of the matter is that you make the most of it every day and we enjoy every day. I’ll tell you one thing, I ain’t got no plans for going anywhere this weekend. I’m an optimist. I’m a believer. I have a positive mind frame and I know her strength and I know mine.”

“I ain’t thinking them things,” continues Cain, “because I don’t have to make a special effort to enjoy it because I enjoy every day. I ain’t got no plans of this little one going this weekend, trust me. Let’s go, champ. Let’s go.”

Cain and his girlfriend Safiyya Vorajee have kept fans up to date on their daughter’s condition after revealing earlier this month that doctors found cancerous tumors throughout her body,giving her just days to live. Since returning home to spend time with family, they’ve had severalemergency hospital visits along the way.
