Yolanda Hadid is standing firmly by her daughter Bella Hadid's side. The reality TV star offered a poignant glimpse into her daughter's arduous battle with Lyme disease, following Bella's heart-wrenching post on September 17, where the 28-year-old supermodel shared tear-stained photos from a trying stint in a hospital bed. Describing Bella as "relentless," Yolanda highlighted that her daughter has "persevered through another grueling month of treatment" in her ongoing fight against the tick-borne illness.
"There simply aren't words grand enough to encapsulate the darkness, the agony, and the harrowing uncertainty you've endured since your diagnosis in 2013," Yolanda penned in a heartfelt September 18 post. "You didn't truly live; you mastered the art of surviving within the confines of your own paralyzed mind."
Yolanda, who is also the proud mother of Gigi Hadid, 30, and Anwar Hadid, 26, continued, "I am immensely proud of the warrior you've become. You are never alone. I vow to stand by your side, every single step of the journey, no matter how lengthy it may be."
The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star opened up about how witnessing her daughter's silent struggles has "carved a profound sense of hopelessness within me." "You embody relentlessness and courage," she wrote to Bella. "No child should ever have to endure the torment of an incurable chronic disease within their body. I am in awe of your bravery and your unwavering commitment to keep fighting for your health, despite the flawed protocols and innumerable setbacks you've encountered."
Ultimately, Yolanda expressed her unwavering resolve to remain a pillar of support for the supermodel as researchers diligently work towards finding a cure. "I am so proud of the fighter you are. You are never alone. I promise to be your rock, every step of the way, no matter how long this odyssey lasts," she wrote. "This disease has brought us to our knees, but we always rise again. Together, we will continue to fight for brighter days ahead."
