"Losing a loved one is truly painful; the void of their absence lingers in the hearts of those who strive each day to resume their routines, missing them dearly.
Some families are faced with the challenging experience of bidding farewell to a child who departs for heaven before their time."
Just as the Binghams experienced, the loss of 18-month-old Milo, who was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of two months, and tragically passed away after over a year of battling, on February 23rd of this year.
Milo journeyed to his heavenly home this morning. He departed peacefully while his mother cradled him in her arms. "You will always be with me, my son," wrote his father on their page on the day of the baby's passing.
A few hours had passed when Kassady shared the devastating images of the moment she held her little one in her arms for the last time before handing him over to a nurse.
"The last time I held my perfect and sweet child. His spirit had already departed, but I couldn't let him go. His body began to stiffen as I held him."
"I could no longer feel his fingers around mine. I saw his lips turning blue, his skin becoming pale, and his tongue turning white. Finally, I handed him over to a nurse whom I had just met that day, and I watched as she walked away with my baby in her arms," the mother recounted.
Kassady Bingham, mother of Lucca, 2 years old, and Milo, shares how her older son bid farewell to his little brother by sharing touching images from the funeral.
Lucca gave his brother a kiss, knowing that he had gone to heaven after a battle of hospitals, treatments, and ups and downs.
The photos of this brave and loving child bidding farewell touch the hearts of thousands of people.
"Milo went home with Jesus this morning. He didn't lose his battle; he won the greatest reward: heavenly healing. I have never felt pain like this before. I am too heartbroken to say anything more. Thank you all for your love and support," said the mother.
She finds solace in the hope of being reunited with her little one: "He seemed more peaceful than ever, and it even seemed like he was almost smiling again. I know he's smiling in heaven. His body may be gone, but he is still here. Every day, we are one day closer to you. I can't wait to continue raising you in heaven with your perfect and healthy body. Mommy loves you," wrote Kassady.
Kassady and her husband Konnor provide their son Lucca with all the necessary support to cope with the loss of his brother.
Lucca feels that his little brother accompanies him. He even shared his experience with his mother, and she shared it on Instagram.
"A couple of weeks ago, he came into my room and said, 'Mom! I have to tell you a quick secret! Milo comes and plays with me, and now he can crawl!'" the child confessed to his mother.
For Lucca, his brother never left, and they continue to be the best companions. Prior to that episode, Lucca told his parents that his brother played with him. Their bond is so strong that he still feels his presence.
Despite the pain, the mother says she is convinced that her son is smiling in heaven. She frequently shares images of him as a way to pay tribute and honor his memory.
Milo was diagnosed with leukemia when he was just two months old, and his health deteriorated rapidly.
"I don't even know what to say anymore. I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. Milo was only intubated and sedated," the mother recounted.
She shared her son's battle on Instagram, where she has 172 thousand followers, working to raise awareness about childhood cancer using the hashtags #MightyMilo and #MoreLoveForMilo.
The illness of her son affects between 30 and 50 babies each year in the United States. When they received the diagnosis, it all began with a lumbar puncture, a bone marrow biopsy, and sessions of chemotherapy.
Through her campaign, she advocates for more funding for childhood cancer research and support for families.
Milo's mother finds solace in knowing that her son no longer feels pain, won't experience relapses, and doesn't have to worry about medical follow-ups or taking medication.
