TikTokerDavid Allen is bidding farewell to his little one,Lily Grace Allen.
The social media star, who goes by the username ToTouchAnEmu, shared the news on Instagram and TikTok with a video tribute on Sunday.
"Lily Grace Allen 6/21/24 - 7/27/24," he captioned the video, which he began by recalling all his achievements, of which he found the birth of his baby girl to be the coolest.
"I met a lot of cool people, celebrities, be[en] on shows, interviews, things like that. It was really neat. But the coolest thing I ever did was welcome my baby, Lily, into this world with my wife, Jessica," he said.
“She was five weeks old about a week ago when she passed away at midnight. I have cried every tear I can possibly cry. I think it's not easy,” Allen said. “I don't wish this on anybody. I don't even really know what to say.”
While he didn't reveal the cause behind her death, he went on to add that it took him about a week to find composure again to speak of his loss.
“[I] waited a week to even mention it because [he] didn't know how to talk about it.” He continued, “I don't really know what else to say. I just want to get it out there.”
He concluded the video with an emotional request to his over a million followers to “just go hug your little one, squeeze them tight” for him.
The memorial for Lily Grace Allen will be on Aug. 6 at Bluebonnet Hills Memorial Home in Colleyville, Texas.
