Preston Ward From Sky Elements Lost His Daughter In 2020

Losing a child can never be easy for a parent. And, it is quite obvious that anyone who has gone through such a heartbreaking phase will never forget their loved one.

So is the case of Preston Ward, who lost his daughter, who was also just an infant, in 2020.

His daughter’s name was Briley Rose. While details about Rose are yet to be released, the nation is now aware of her influence on her father’s life.

The performance that Sky Elements dedicated to Ward’s daughter was heartbreaking as well as heartwarming.

Since her name is Rose, the act also included rose as a major part of the storytelling.

In the group’s narration, Briley is shown to have been a part of a rose field. A butterfly then replaced the rose.

Moreover, the act also shows how the heartbroken father gets to meet his daughter in the form of a butterfly.

In the end, the Phoenix, a mythical bird that depicts hope, immortality, resurrection, and life after death, replaces the butterfly.

That said, the conclusion goes from Ward’s late infant being a delicate part of nature to being immortal in his life, like a phoenix.

As soon as the performance was completed, the audience and even the judges were speechless. Everyone got emotional.

The performance was such that it had people crying before it even finished.
