Tonight has been a really tough night for me. Tonight I heard that Talia Castellano was beginning her transition from this world to the next.
For those of you who don't know, Talia is a 13 year old professional Youtube Beauty Guru and has been fighting a cancer for six years now. Talia was first diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma on February 14th, 2007. She was cancer free for 13 months, but relapsed in 2008. In 2012, Talia's cancer spread to her bones and she also developed pre-Luekemia. For the past five days Talia has not eaten and has only woken up to go to the bathroom or vomit. She is not giving up or quitting, but gracefully transitioning from this world, to the next. This is not the end for Talia, it is only the beginning of a beautiful eternity with her Heavenly Father.
Through all of the trials and tribulations Talia has gone through in her short life, she always remained such a positive force in the world. At only 13 years old she has touched more lives than many people well into their 80's have. She used Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, and other means of Social Media to connect and touch people from around the world. I am so blessed to have come across her on the Internet and I know that she has changed me for the best.
I pray that her heart is filled with peace, joy, and love during her last days on this Earth and that her family and friends are filled with that same peace as well.
If her family ever reads this, I want them to know that they truly raised an incredible daughter. She touched so many lives, inspired so many people, and touched anyone that was lucky enough to come in contact with her. I also pray that they know that this is not the end for Talia-- she is going to be in such a beautiful place, free of pain, and free to be the spunky, happy, and quirky girl she has always been. She will be with loved ones who have passed and she will once again be with her Heavenly Father. You will see her again and until then, I know she will be your beautiful angel looking over you.
If you haven't already pleased head on over to this Facebook group and leave an uplifting note, prayer, scripture, song, or anything that will bring a bit of peace and comfort to her family and friends.
Life on this Earth is such a precious gift and you never know when it will come to an end. Please, take a moment and tell those you love that you love them, call a loved one or friend that you haven't talked to in awhile, and treat the strangers you come in contact with with love and respect. Love each other. Uplift each other. Inspire each other.
I love each and every one of you so much.
