This news is heartbreaking: CNN American reporter Andrew Kaczynski (31) and his wife Rachel Louise Ensign face a great loss. His daughter Francesca, who was only nine months old, died on Christmas Eve.
“It breaks our hearts to have to announce that our beautiful daughter Francesca passed away last night in the arms of her mother and father,” he wrote on Twitter on Friday. «We are very grateful to have known his love. Francesca, we love you. “
Francesca was fighting a brain tumor
Little Francesca suffered from a particularly aggressive brain tumor. He battled cancer for months and even had to undergo multiple brain operations. Kaczynski went public with the disease in September. At the time it still seemed fine to her daughter. After two operations, he was allowed to leave the hospital with his parents. “I’m sure he will fight it,” the CNN reporter tweeted hopefully at the time.
But Francesca’s condition worsened. They had to take her back to the hospital due to a yeast infection. The doctors tried everything to save her. Francesca was put on a ventilator and life support measures were taken. Andrew Kaczynski hoped for a “Christmas miracle” and asked his followers to pray for his daughter. Unfortunately, the prayers were not answered.
Francesca’s smile captivated the whole world
In an obituary posted Friday, the couple wrote that they often called their baby, who was born on March 11, “bean or bean.” “In her short life, Francesca was an open-minded, brave and curious baby,” they say. “He had big deep brown eyes that followed everything his parents did.” His smile amazed the whole world.
“She was very generous with that, even when most of the smiles were masked and even when faced with challenges that would scare an adult, like being diagnosed with cancer or the fact that she was born with hearing problems.” (bsn)
