I love you Talia Castellano

In the beginning of this year I had the honor and privilege to meet

Talia Castellano. I'm sure you've all heard of her before because she

was one of the most inspiring angels to ever walk this Earth.

Now she's an angel in Heaven and even though it breaks my

heart to know she is no longer here, I know that she is released

from all her pain and she is healthy and happy with our God above.

Like most of you I first heard of Talia through Youtube.

She was a beauty vlogger like no other, that's for sure!

She was very young but extremely talented with makeup, but

what really made her stand out was her strength and positivity.

No matter how bad her cancers got she just kept swimming.

I admire and adore her so much, and even though she was only

13 years old she was absolutely a role model to look up too.

When I first saw her in person I was checking into my hotel and

she walked past me in the lobby (even looked at me) and I got so excited.

I wanted to rush up and say hi and hug her but I was too nervous.

The next day I'm walking around IMATS and she runs up to me

and asks to take a picture with me because she watches my videos.

I was completely star struck with this little one.

We had a chance to chat a few more times that day and

I was just in awe of how positive and humble she was. 

That was one of the most memorable moments of my life.

Meeting an angel...

Talia, I love you so much and will miss you so so much!

You have changed my life and so many other lives too!

God had a plan for you and I believe you fulfilled it. 

You inspired THE WORLD and for that you will never be forgotten.

Now you can rest peacefully with our Heavenly Father.

Just Keep Swimming
