“I really really do hope that in the years to come more research is done about this horrid cruel disease so that more lives can be saved,” Thackray wrote in her final post.
“As I have always said and believed you should enjoy the little things in life and cherish every moment! Romanticise your life! Do whatever makes you happy and don’t let anyone take the joy of life away from you x”
Thackray, who worked at the marketing firm, 26 Agency, continued, “I LOVED my life. Everything I had achieved was what I wanted. I loved my job, my fiancé, my family, my friends and my dog, and the house we were going to buy and the future we were making for ourselves. Leo my fur baby was definitely brought into my life to help brighten my darkest days.”
A 25-year-old woman with a rare form of cancer planned her death announcement, asking her family to post the pre-written eulogy to her social media accounts. As Thackray had shared on social media, she’d undergone a liver resection and gallbladder surgery eight months ago.
Daniella Thackray may have left this world at a young age, but her incredible strength and positive outlook on life continue to inspire us all. Despite her battle with cancer, Daniella chose to make the most of every moment and spread love and joy to everyone around her. Today, we celebrate her life and the valuable lessons she taught us.
Embracing Life’s Challenges
Daniella understood that life can throw unexpected challenges our way, and she firmly believed that we have the power to choose how we react to them. Instead of dwelling on the cards she was dealt, she embraced every moment with courage and a determination to find joy. While her cancer may have altered her path, it never extinguished her spirit.
Cherishing the Little Things
One of Daniella’s mantras was to enjoy the little things in life and to cherish every moment. She believed in finding beauty in the everyday and encouraged others to do the same. Whether it was spending time with loved ones, pursuing her passions, or simply enjoying the companionship of her furry friend Leo, Daniella knew the importance of savoring all the blessings life had to offer.
Love, Gratitude, and Magic
Daniella’s love for her family, friends, and fiancé Tom shone brightly in her final message. She expressed her deep gratitude for the love and support they gave her throughout her journey. Daniella cherished the future they were building together, from their dream house to the life they were creating. Even in her last moments, she wanted Tom to know that love transcends any distance.
Leaving A Lasting Legacy
While Daniella’s life was tragically cut short, her final wish was to see more research conducted on Cholangiocarinoma, the rare cancer that claimed her life. She hoped that by shedding light on this cruel disease, more lives could be saved in the future. Daniella’s selflessness and desire to help others serve as a lasting legacy that continues to inspire us today.
A Final Quote to Remember
Daniella ended her message with a poignant quote from Winnie the Pooh, reminding us that even in her absence, her spirit will always be with us. The words resonate deeply, encouraging us to embrace our bravery, strength, and intelligence, and to cherish the connections we have with others. Daniella’s presence may be missed, but her impact will never be forgotten.
