Ezri Hart has taken on the care of her little sister Braidyn Neefe after her father, Michael, 49, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Ezri and Braidyn share the same mother, Erika Neefe, 45, who died last year after a stroke. Braidyn has now moved in with her big sister and her husband, David, 24, after Michael's condition worsened. It meant the 23-year-old had to learn how to become a parent overnight. She was formally adopted by the young couple in May. Ezri, from Vancouver, Washington, manages a freight warehouse. She said: "When Michael got the cancer diagnosis, I had a pretty big breakdown. For all the latest news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US "Part of me was grieving for a life that I had planned for myself. I'm only 23, and was living a pretty typical life of a 23-year-old which I was kind of enjoying. "Now I can't do anything without also planning to take care of Braidyn. My plan B was altered with Micahel as we thought he would have a year or two at least to live rather than a couple of weeks. "I'm trying to create a sense of normalcy for Braidyn so we can have a general life plan ahead. She has had a lot of instability. I'm hoping we can get a nice place to live, and figure out how to work through all this." Erika suffered a stroke in December 2022, and Ezri said she then refused to take blood pressure medication as it "made her feel funny". Braidyn's dad, Michael was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumour, in late 2022. Erika then had another stroke in February, which resulted in a serious brain bleed. She died on February 9. Braidyn moved in with Ezri while Micahel also moved){kind=link}
