It is said that dying people have one single wish before they pass away. Once fulfilled, they make peace with themselves and close their eyes. That was the case of a 10 year-old Nebraska girl with terminal brain cancer, Jayci Yaeger.

Doctors declared her condition hopeless in October. Her only wish was to see her dad once more, Jason Yaeger, who was completing the last year of his 5-year methamphetamine –stemming sentence at a federal prison in South Dakota.

Jayci’s family had been pleading with federal prison officials to allow her father to see his daughter before she died. After the prison was flooded with letters from around the country, prison officials decided to allow Jason to travel to Nebraska on Wednesday, according to KETV.com

“She wants her dad. She goes to her room crying because she wants her dad,” Jayci’s mom, Vonda Yaeger told KETV before the prison’s officials agreed to permit Jason to see his daughter. She also said the little girl’s condition worsened in the last few days.

The father and his daughter spend twenty minutes together at a Lincoln hospice. Jayci, who could not speak, move or eat, was aware of her father’s presence as she began breathing heavily, the family said.

Unfortunately, Jaicy died a day after her father visited her. On Thursday, she had gone into respiratory distress three times before she passed away, according to her mother.
