'Mom, last night was one of the hardest. I don't know if it's because it's been a week since your passing or the synchronization of the rain tonight, just like the night of. I pray that one day I can find comfort in the sound of rain again, as it'll symbolize your spirit going to heaven, but for now, all I hear is my heart aching for you,' Hayley wrote, sharing a childhood photo with her mom.
'This yearning is unlike anything I've ever known, but I need you to know that I will love you in every form. I'm choosing to be strong for you to make you proud,' she continued.

Child, 9, who died at Hersheypark was ‘beloved' member of Bhutan community
The 9-year-old girl who died in a wave pool at Hersheypark is a 'beloved' member of the Bhutanese community in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The victim, who has not been publicly identified, was pulled 'limp' from the water on Thursday, and later died at a hospital despite lifeguards' attempts to save her, according to reports. 'It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that the Bhutanese Community in Harrisburg (BCH) shares the heartbreaking news of the untimely passing of a beloved 9-year-old girl, a resident of our Harrisburg-based Bhutanese community,' the organization said in a statement. Advertisement The girl was a 'beloved' member of the Bhutanese community in Harrisburg, according to a report. Tribune News Service via Getty Images 'The child tragically lost her life in a devastating incident that occurred at Hersheypark,' the group's chairman, Tilak Niroula, said in a statement. The fatality was the first at Hersheypark since 1977. Advertisement The death was the first at the theme park since the 1970s. Tribune News Service via Getty Images 'At just nine years old, she was full of promise, innocence, and joy — a light in the lives of all who knew her. Her sudden and tragic departure has left a deep void in our hearts and the community she was so warmly a part of,' Niroula said, according to WGAL. 'Our entire community is grieving alongside the family during this unimaginably difficult time. Words cannot fully capture the depth of our pain, but we are united in our mourning and committed to standing with the family in love, prayer, and support.' Hundreds of comments from grieving members of the Bhutanese community flooded the BCH Facebook page. 'Very, very shocking news to all of us. What a tragedy has befallen us,' one person wrote. Hersheypark officials insisted the facility and its water park area, known as the Boardwalk, is safe. 'There were over 100 E&A-trained lifeguards in the Boardwalk at the time of the incident. There were 10 lifeguards specifically dedicated to the wave pool at the time of the incident. The specific lifeguards stationed at the wave pool received the highest level of training and certification,' park officials said in a statement. Niroula, speaking in Bhutanese in a video posted to Facebook, urged parents to stay vigilant. 'Please make sure to stay close and attentive when your children are in or near swimming pools or any body of water,' a caption accompanying the video read. 'Even a moment of distraction can lead to heartbreaking consequences.' The wave pool remained closed Saturday, Hersheypark said.

Jade Shenker of Netflix's 'Owning Manhattan' dishes on labiaplasty
A Big Apple realtor famous for wheeling and dealing on Netflix's hit series 'Owning Manhattan' went to Turkey for her boldest renovation to date: labiaplasty. 'The experience was amazing…and I'm already feeling the confidence boost one million percent,' Jade Shenker gushed to The Post less than three weeks after going under the knife. Soon after ending her nearly decade-long relationship last year, Shenker, 29, learned about labiaplasty from a girlfriend who had just undergone the cosmetic genital procedure — also known as 'designer vagina' surgery — and was immediately sold on the idea, she recalled. Advertisement Jade Shenker couldn't be happier with her labiaplasty experience earlier this month, she told The Post. Helayne Seidman 'Even though I like dressing sexy and that makes me feel confident, as far as being intimate, I've always been very shy. Especially being newly single, I was like, why can't I have that same confidence in other areas of my life?' Shenker said. For 'purely cosmetic reasons,' she reached out to Upper East Side plastic surgeons who charge nearly $15,000 for the procedure, but didn't feel inspired by the interiors they designed. Advertisement 'Their before and afters were okay,' Shenker said with a shrug. But all bets were off when she came across Dr. Mehmet Bekir Şen, a plastic surgeon dedicated to the procedure in Istanbul, Turkey. 'I loved the aesthetic of his work versus anyone else's work,' Shenker said, noting that the Euro doc's ooh-la-la vulvas looked 'evenly puffed and less pigmented' than other designer vaginas she'd seen. Advertisement The Upper West Sider signed up for the full package, which included reshaping the vaginal 'lips' by removing excess tissue with a scalpel or laser, cutting the clitoral hood and 'puffing' the labia majora, by using fat from her inner thighs. She originally booked the procedure for July 9, but moved it up to July 4 after an ominous warning from her astrologist. 'There was a full moon on July 10, so she was like, 'Jade, I prefer you not get it done on the 9th because it's too close — we're already in a retrograde and doing it so close to a full moon, it would be more likely that you'll have complications and it will take you long to heal,'' Shenker said. She walked 10,000 steps without a problem just a day after two hour, $5,500 procedure. Advertisement And her new coochie is as couture as the penthouses she hawks. 'This surgery proves that cosmetic stuff is not about other people…it's literally just about how I feel,' Shenker said. 'I wanted and paid for the perfect vagina,' Shenker boasted. 'This surgery proves that cosmetic stuff is not about other people — it's not about the male gaze or the female gaze — it's literally just about how I feel. It's me feeling like I am the person that I want to look at in the mirror every day,' she added.
