Everyone with a healthy child please be thankful.
amen ❤
Don’t take things for granted if even if it’s hard at times.
I am. I also appreciate those that have kids with illnesses, as I have a friend with one.
Amen 🙏🏾
Every human should be thankful being born healthy regardless of parents input. Not every parent is good.
Mom has every reason to be proud of that girl!
💯💯💯😪😪.
Absolutely true!! ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I cried through this entire video! What a beautiful young lady! ❤
Right
Even dead smh
She maximized her life. A true inspiration. RIP princess.
No she didn’t 😢
She couldn’t leave without walking that stage for herself and for a memory to leave her mom. My heart goes out to this mother. 😢Stay strong mom
Heart failure is terrible. She had her whole life ahead of her…
in heaven, we are all behind in the afterlife
Old man has heart failure that he has been dealing with for years. His EF (ejection fraction) has been stable, but he has to take a whole batch of different drugs to keep his heart going. He's nearly 70..I'm shocked this young woman succumbed to it so early. R.I.P to her..
Pray for her
@@glamrockfoxy6667 You don't pray for the dead; you pray for the living.
Vaccines are poison
Her heart may have been weak, but the rest of her was rocksolid. I am so sorry for your loss.
Absolutely, amen. A beautiful young woman!
😒
That’s a beautiful comment
@@carolluther1625❤❤❤
Amen...❤
What a beautiful child. She was so brave and strong.
Mom, you did a great job.. What a beautiful daughter she was...
You should be proud! She was beautiful, smart and determined! You did a great job, Mom!
Yes that's why they're showing her story .Moron
That's sick the rest of her life was at 🏫 a horrible place
Delyn shut @@.
you know her?
I pray for the donor's family also. Someone donated the heart of their loved one, so Sienna could have those 10 years, and walk in her graduation. Amazing!
So true... praying for both families 🙏🙏🙏
Horrible take, Homer.
I wonder why her transplanted heart go bad? That makes me cry 😢
WOW! I HAD CHILLS AS I READ YOUR POST! WE HAD THE SAME THOUGHT.
True!
My friend died a little after his graduation. He had epilepsy and had been sick for a while. I was proud that he accomplished his goal which was to graduate!
I'm damn proud. Rest in peace, Sienna. Praying for the mom and family's strength and healing.
POWERFUL WORDS!
WOW!! My Condolences🙏🙏💖😇💐
Her heart was weak but she and her mom were so strong. Im glad they let her walk, but man, i feel for her mom
Her mom is strong, Many men would cry like babies if the same thing happened. She held them back
Nothing wrong with crying especially after losing a child @aminat65
🙏
😢 This brings tears to my eyes! I lost my precious 34 year old daughter recently. She had literally beaten cancer 17 years before, she never knew an adult life without the pain and scars and pitiful limitations her body went through from remnants of at least 23 surgeries to remove the tumors and reconstruct her beautiful little face. She was 17 when she was diagnosed and for the next 17 years although she "beat" the initial cancer diagnoses, she underwent 23 surgeries in various places on her body. Although weakened from pain and effects from radiation she stayed positive and active. She pursued her dream of getting her Bachelors degree in Art, which was her passion and her God given talent, just 3 months before she was to graduate (which took her 17 years because of having to drop classes when she had surgeries) just 3 months before realizing her dream...she sadly and abruptly died in her sleep right next to her devastated fiance! 😢😢 We still dont know why as she was in remission for the past 14 years. We just accept that it was her time. Her University gave her her Bachelors degree posthumanously which meant the world to me and sponsored an Art exhibit that featured only her Art. She was so talented and I miss her like the air I need to breathe! 😇
Sorry for your loss.💖🌈💐
@@chalabrooks5433 Thank you! This is the first time in a year and a half that I have ever spoken of this to strangers and I am blessed that you were the first one to respond! 🥰
The loss of a child is a pain that one can even fathom unless it happens to them, but one can certainly compare it to the worst pain or event that ever happened to them and then double it...at least 😭 God Bless you for your kind and loving words to a complete stranger! 😇🙏🙏
I’m so sorry I’m keeping you and your family in my prayers ❤🙏🏾
🙏🏾🕊💐🩷
Your daughters life sounds identical to mine except not cancer. It burns me to see people who are 100% healthy waste their life away not realizing what a blessing they have.@@benetta8275.I know your pain because I lost my 1 and only child at 22 years old. I'll pray for you and that you find the occasional slivers of joy.
Heart was weak but her will was strong. May she rest well🙏
To see that smile on her face and know the pain she's going through breaks my heart
Mom you allowed your daughter to get her final wish walk the stage,you could have said no but you knew this was important to your daughter. God bless you and your family baby girl earned her wings
This 💪🏾❤️😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏾
In tears. Life is cruel. Glad her mom has that video of her walking across the stage. That's priceless.
No. BAD THINGS are cruel
Think before commenting
@@berrymint6384 I think you need to take your own advice
My 14 year old brother has a similar heart condition. I pray for him everyday. Praying for her family😢
Mrs Chum, I am sooo sorry your daughter died. I am sooo glad she was able to get her degree and graduate. I cried for Sienna Stewart and for your family. RIP. You all are in my prayers.
VERY SWEET AND KIND...I AM SURE THE FAMILY APPRECIATES YOUR LOVE...
The fact that she worked so hard to get to this point, just for her to not make it to college is really upsetting. Be thankful everyone ❤
Edit: Guys Ty so much for all of the likes and I’m not saying that she didnt peruse her dreams, I’m saying it’s so amazing for her to finish high school, like she wanted. I’m just saying that it’s good to be thankful and to know you probably have it easier than a lot of others 🩷
Don’t do drugs, kids
@@nazomius7033 What? This child was not on drugs!!!
College is so overrated. This young ladies goal was to finish High School and she did it! She knew this was coming, she got the earthly reward she wanted.
How horrible, the worst loss anyone could suffer from. My friend from high school lost her 19 year old nephew in a car accident right before Thanksgiving. I can’t even imagine. My prayers to everyone going through such a tragic loss.😢🙏
@@lwills8609Don't acknowledge a foolish troll.
How sad , she was so cute and had her whole life ahead of her .
If she wasn’t cute would you still say same thing? Lol
Well as long as she was cute
@@tjohnnyf7100shes just mentioning how beautiful she was why are u guys trolling
@britgaddis this is a reflection of our broken society unfortunately. People who get no attention, putting others down in an attempt to be seen. Hope they get help
@@britgaddisRight. They’re so weird. I don’t see what was wrong with what the original poster stated.
Life is so unfair this broke my heart she had her whole life ahead of her rip Angel
God called her home
Your daughter was a fighter, now she is a shining star. RIP Sienna you will not be forgotten. 💜
❤❤❤❤❤ fr
The mother’s strength is also impressive. This must be devastating, and she is still able to speak about what was happening and how her daughter pushed through. I hope she realizes that her daughter isn’t the only strong woman in this story. Prayers for you both.
That is very true dear❤❤❤🙏🏽✝️
My thoughts exactly🫶🏽
Beautifully said!! 😭😭😭
I'm so sorry that she passed away, but the mom should be so proud of her that she made it through school and she did graduate. Rest in peace Sienna.
What makes you assume and have a preconceived notion that her mother isn't proud of her daughter.What a extremely rude, disrespectful, insensitive, heartless,and atrocious thing to say.
@@user-gl2pr4bf7eshe wasn’t assuming she was saying to be proud of her
@@Lai.toreal Beloved go back and read that again!SHE SAID THAT HER MOTHER "SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF HER."WHICH IS WHY I SAID WHAT I SAID.
@@user-gl2pr4bf7ewhat an extremely rude, disrespectful, insensitive, heartless, and atrocious thing it is for YOU to twist a positive comment into something so negative??? You need to get a life, and some mental help too
Exactly @@user-gl2pr4bf7e
It’s every parent’s nightmare to lose a child. I can see where that young girl got her strength. So sorry for the family’s loss. May Sienna rest with the angels.
The most genuine sweetest people deal with the most terrible scariest things I hate it man
Fly away into paradise beautiful girl. Rest in peace. 💐✝️🙏
How do you know she's going to paradise? Do we all compulsively head there?
@SenorSpielbergo-id7xe She was pure and untouched. She's in Paradise. Worry about your own soul.
@@carolinematusevich889you know the family personally?
She going to Hell😂🤡@@SenorSpielbergo-id7xe
@@carolinematusevich889 She was pure? How do you know? Whose standards are you using?
I don't have to worry about my soul. I am "pure and untouched."
My goodness how devastating! She looked good in the hospital. Goes to show you never know what ppl r facing or when that time will come. Beautiful, strong, and courteous girl indeed. She fulfilled the big one and walked that stage! She did it mom!
When she seemed better in the hospital, it was the rally that can occur before death. I saw it in my father- in- law just days before he passed.
Same it was scary
Blessings to the Family!!!! What a beautiful young lady!!!!
The courage, strength and resilience displayed by this young lady is a great reflection of parents. Praying for her Mother and family.
Sienna clearly had a spirit that could not be defeated. Her spirit and her will were incredibly strong. May she rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing to those who knew and loved her
Please be kind to everyone you never know what milestones they have accomplished or pain and hardships someone else will be enduring to get through this day
Yes😢. I lost my mom last year and it has been very difficult for me but unfortunately not everyone understands
@@fauzianalwoga1002 My mother passed away in 2017 and every single day her being gone weighs heavy on my heart. People telling me to get over it but the truth is you don't have to "get over it". Take the time to heal for as long as you need to and if you never heal that's fine too
@@fauzianalwoga1002Jesus loves you and He counts every single teardrop. If you allow Him,, He can replace your sorrows with peace that surpasses ALL understanding.
🥹🙏🏾🕊️💕
CHILLS RUN THROUGH MY BODY. HOW COMPASSIONATE YOUR POST IS! I AGREE WITH ALL YOU SPOKE TO. WE DO NEED MUCH MORE KINDNESS IN OUR SELF-ENTITLED WORLD.
No idea what I got so emotional hearing her mother say she was a “tough cookie”. I teared up, the way she said it. It was so firm and solid but you get the image of something sweet you feel so much compassion along with joyous/painful emotions hearing her talk about her daughter. Truly my heart goes out to her mother, everyone in her family, also her entire graduating class. Her time was limited but she made sure to show so much strength and perseverance on a night that every kid growing up dreams about.
What strength and determination she had, may she Rest In Peace ❤
Bless that child 18yrs 🙏🏽
💉💉💉💉💉💉
She had a heart transplant at 8, I don't believe it was the jab in this case.
That girl strenght came from her mom wow she is a rock
So heartbreaking. no mother should loose a child specially that young. I'm so glad she got to graduate before she passed away. Sending prayers to her family🙏🙏
She is truly strong, we are proud of her, she’s awesome, may she rest in peace ❤
Lord please place your loving arms around this mom and her family! 🙏🏽
Sienna's heart may not have been strong, but she was. May Sienna rest in the sweetest of peace in the arms of the angels.
Her spirit could not be defeated
@Jenny and @Darth, you two tearing my eyes up.
@@solomongrundy3411 Mines, too
Wow this actually brought me to tears, what a beautiful spirit and supportive family. Rest in peace angel❤❤❤
This is so difficult. A heart transplant recipient to die of heart failure. You fought hard to help them keep on living. Did she have an internal defibrillator? This really made me sad.
It is not at all uncommon. The average lifespan after getting a heart transplant is only 10 years. The body eventually rejects the new heart or the person develops an infection from being on immune suppressant medication. Very few pediatric heart transplant recipients make it beyond 20 years old without a second transplant. I worked in pediatric cardiology for the last 12 years of my career and it was really hard to see those that developed problems earlier than the average. The worst I remember was a young teenage boy that got his transplant and a couple years later he developed cancer. Transplant patients are are much higher risk of developing cancer because of the medications they take.
@@TheCrazyMoparDude68omg, that broke my heart. Thanks for explaining
@@TheCrazyMoparDude68this you lady was diagnosed only at 4 do you know how this usually is detected in such a young age
@mzstacystacks3168 general medicine or family medicine physician at a clinic would have made a referral to a cardiologist after they noticed abnormal heart sounds, chest pain, weakness, swelling and signs of bad circulation due to weak pumping of the heart
@@TheCrazyMoparDude68Thanks a lot for your valuable info
I'm so glad your daughter had as much of life as she did. I had a 5-year-old cousin that had a heart attack and died on his front lawn! My brother died at 5 months old with only three chambers in his heart! The doctor said "In 10 years we could fix this, but in 1961 he couldn't!" I'm so glad your daughter got to enjoy life and you got to enjoy your daughter's company for as long as the both of you did!
Belated condolences for your loss.
Yes, thankfully they can do all kinds of things now. Save more lives.
I am so sorry for the losses you and your family experienced.
Such a beautiful girl. Sorry for your loss. 💖🙏🌷
So sad for mom. Daughter was a strong force of nature. She can be very proud of her .
This is so sad.... feel bad for the grief the mom is experiencing
No parent should ever have to bury their child! I feel for her family and friends!
My mom says all the time. We never know who is going 1st. Death has no order.
@@user-or8zf2mh2ryep exactly, and that’s what’s scary but it’s also a good way to remind yourself to do the things you want to achieve in your life because you only live once
Poor girl, she was so beautiful and strong !! Condolences to the family 😢
Sending deepest sympathy to the family and friends! I’m so proud of you her! Rest in peace baby girl! ❤️🙏🏽
This is sad...She passed away happy being able to graduate!!! Prayers to her family!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Her daughter accomplished so much in such a short life and it was so sad that she collapsed and died weeks later due to heart failure.
What a vibrant spirit she was-and is. After my mother died of heart failure, she let me know that she was “home,” active, and happy.
Daughter got that strength and resilience from mom.
Hugs for this Mama. Happy she was able to walk the stage and graduate.
I'm so glad that her mom let her walk across the stage and receive her well-deserved diploma. Sending love and prayers to her family ❤
Me too, at first when I heard her mom still let her walk, I didn't understand why she would let her. But after hearing the entirity, I know the Mom did what was best for her daughter.
I’m So proud of her and she’s beautiful. I’m so sorry for their loss.
Mom I’m so sorry for your loss your daughter is a true inspiration
She lived more dear and full than many live. She was definitely brave!
A strong mother with a beautiful angel.
Her mom is strong, Many men would cry like babies if the same thing happened. She held them back
I’m in tears but from happiness in seeing this your lady accomplish what so many didn’t and she did it with a smile, in spite of her condition. God bless her family and may she forever live e in their hearts and minds and that is one that is always talked about🙏🏾🫶🏾
R.I.P. sweetheart and condolences to the family.😔😔
What a brave little angel! She fought right up until the end. May God bless and comfort her family. 😥
She was so beautiful. RIP sweetie
AWW. This is so sad... I am so sorry you and your baby had to experience such trauma... May God bless you and give you strength...
My father had a massive heart attack in his sleep when I was 24 years old. I was also 9 months pregnant with my son. My water broke the morning of his funeral. My son was brought into this world at the same time my father was lowered into the ground.
how poetic
This is so devastating. May Sienna rest in peace ❤❤
So very sad. But she died just having reached one of her goals. Her mom should be proud.
I got chills watching her strength to just graduate from High School. She was so inspiring! Blessings to her Mom and family & friends for strength and peace!!
So proud of her and I pray she's resting peacefully 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Sienna, you made the most of the 10 years you had the transplant heart. You didnt take it for granted. You could have lost your life before your school year even begin, but you should everyone you could overcome it.
May your journey never be forgotten
She was absolutely beautiful 😢 as a parent of a healthy little girl, this hurts to see. She wanted that diploma and deserved that diploma. So glad fought thru and experienced that moment before passing.
What an inspiration she is and what a great mom. Peace to them both
She was so strong. God bless her and sending prayers out to the family. R. I. P Queen 🙏🙏
Life is so unpredictable and delicate...this beautiful young girl lived her fullest one day at a time as we should.🕯
She had the determination most people dream of having ... fly high our beautiful angel 🤍
RIP. She was so strong, such a good girl
Thank you for sharing your daughter memories with me. Im praying for your strength and joy.
Ma'am, your Daughter is strong because of you. Your strength and courage shows right here as you are speaking. And just as much as she made you happy; you made her so happy to be able to walk across the stage. God Bless You! I'm praying for you and your family.
Heart breaking. This baby was everything and her spirit is pure and wholesome. May she rest in peace.
Rest in Paradise Princess 💕 Congratulations on Graduation 👩🎓
Sienna’s spirit is so beautiful, prayer to her mother and family.
RIP Sweet Girl. My adult son just had open heart surgery; a unknown congenital abnormality was not caught until he hit forty. I thankful he survived to make it… My love goes out to those families who’s loved ones do not. ❤🙏🏻
That's scary because none of us would ever know until it's possibly too late... did he have any symptoms?
I'm happy for you that your son is still here, 💙
STOP GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. SURGERY IS NOT THE ANSWER TO DISEASE. YOUR SON COULD DRINK MOLECULAR HYDROGEN WATER AND BE RID OF HEART DISEASE.
Stop speaking nonsense
