Mirriam's daughter, Layla Elleina, passed away in October 2019.
“Mommy is still grieving you.”
The Clash finalist Mirriam Manalo gave a heartwarming tribute for her late daughter Layla Elleina that touched the hearts of so many online.
Mirriam gave birth to Layla in February 2019, but in October of the same year, the baby passed away.
According to reports, the baby suffered from spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Based on the information from my.clevelandclinic.org, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inherited disease that affects nerves and muscles, causing muscles to become increasingly weak. It mostly affects infants and children but can also develop in adults.
In her Instagram post, Mommy Mirriam posted some throwback photos with Layla and admitted that she is still mourning her up until today.
She posted, “To my first born! Layla Elleina Happy Birthday In heaven anak! Mommy is still grieving for you, I miss you every day!! Three years old ka na sana, and I am sure that you would be a good big sister to Lilah Emilia, haaay!
“If I can only swap my life for you anak I would do it even a thousand times!! I love you so much my little angel in heaven!”
The talented singer also asked her baby to heal her sibling Lilah Emilia, who also got diagnosed with SMA.
“Pls take care of your sister, sabihin mo kay papa Jesus pagalingin niya si bunso huh! Love you talaga baby ko! #Laylaat3.”
