TikTok star, David Allen, experienced one of the most horrible events that could befall a parent. His daughter, Lily Grace Allen, was born on June 21. Unfortunately, a little over a month later on July 27, Lily passed away. In a heartbreaking video David posted on his TikTok account, he talks about how much Lily meant to him in such a short period of time.

"I have cried every tear I can possibly cry, I think. It's not easy. I don't wish this on anybody," the video begins. "I don't even know what to say. I've waited a week to even mention it because I didn't know how to talk about it. So, yeah, I don't really know what else to say. I just wanted to get it out there, I guess."
According to Allen, a memorial will be held for Lily in Texas. Her cause of death, understandably, isn't public knowledge. Across social media, people flocked to offer their condolences and support for Allen and his wife.
"Sending all my love and strength to you and your family during this heartbreaking time. Hugs to you all," one TikTok user said.

"So sorry for your loss. Our daughter would have been a teenager now. There are no words I can say that will help, all I will say is you are not alone," another user chimes in. In the wake of something so unimaginably terrible, it's encouraging to see a community rally behind a content creator in their time of need. The world needs more of that, honestly. Hopefully, David and his wife are given the proper space to grieve and come to terms with their loss.
