Addilyn Emelia Radomske Booth was an energetic little girl who loved her family.
On Christmas Day, Addilyn (Addy) was happily opening presents alongside her older sister Alexia.
Just days later, the Kelowna family was shattered when Addy was found not breathing and later died the morning of Dec. 29.
鈥淎ddy on the 27th wasn鈥檛 feeling too great, but it wasn鈥檛 anything out of the ordinary, she just wanted to snuggle up,鈥� said Addy鈥檚 aunt Emmy Radomske.
鈥淭he 28th she was doing fine again, like they weren鈥檛 concerned about anything.
鈥淪he never was sick enough that it was a major concern.鈥�
On Dec. 28, Addy and Alexia went for a sleepover at their grandmother鈥檚 house.
The little girl was found not breathing around 7:30 a.m. and 9-1-1 was called.
Attempts to revive her were unsuccessful.
鈥淟ittle things just don鈥檛 matter,鈥� Radomske said.
鈥淲hen something like this happens, I鈥檝e heard people say it before, when something like this happens you realize what things matter.鈥�
Radomske has a special place in her heart for little Addy, as her niece was named after her.
鈥淲e want to live for her and be better for her and make better choices for her鈥�
鈥淪he鈥檒l never get the chance to be or to make any mistakes or to experience things, so it鈥檚 just so important that you put the little things aside.鈥�
Radomske has started a GoFundMe to support her sister Hannah, her brother-in-law Ryan, and niece Alexia.
Addy would have turned two on Feb. 4.
