It warms my heart to see how strong Harlie is. She’s the sweetest girl I’ve ever met and is such an inspiration to me, and many others. I had the chance to visit her at the hospital the other day, and the strength she has is unreal. It’s so unfair that she has to go through all she does at such a young age. For those who don’t know Harlie, she use to be a very active, normal girl just a few months ago. And then one day her life turned around. Her body just doesn’t work the same way anymore. And no one knows why. She’s been in and out of the hospital for months now. I don’t know how she does it. When I saw her my heart sank to the bottom of my body. It broke my heart to see such a young, beautiful girl in so much pain. I wanted nothing more than to take her pain away for her. She made such an impact on me,  and she is definitely the strongest 13 year old girl I’ve ever met. I hope she gets back to her normal outgoing self, and doesn’t feel any pain anymore. She reminded me, that just because we have a few (or a lot) of bad days, doesn’t mean we have a bad life. She is a reminder to me, and so many others not to give up. Even if you don’t think you can do it anymore. She will never know how much of a impact she made on my life, and how inspiring she is. I absolutely loved meeting her and getting to know her and her cute self. She will always have a special place in my heart,  and I will always be here for her and anyone else who needs someone to talk to. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Harlie is so amazing and it blows my mind how strong and tough she is. I absolutely adore her. And Harlie, if you ever read this, get feeling better and know I’m always here for you. (:
