Maddox Mary Lawrence (21 months) was born on April 24th, 2014, to her mother Morgan and Ryan Lawrence (25). Their living arrangements consisted of living in a small rented home and sharing a vehicle for transportation. Nonetheless, they were happy and their hearts were even more fulfilled with Maddox in the mix.

There is something special about a baby’s laugh, but the giggle let out from Maddox’s tiny belly could almost cure any heartache. She had perfectly round, bold, brown eyes and the chunkiest cheeks. Morgan and Ryan constantly posed for family pictures with her and posted them to their social media to share their happy and healthy life.

Indeed, everything regarding Maddox’s health was healthy until a little while before she turned a year old. Her parents noted that her dark brown eyes were growing even darker as bold patches expanded on her iris. She was taken to the doctor and sadly diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer called retinoblastoma.
