Having a sister with cancer is not easy, but Aria has always been a fighter. An inspiration if you will. Now, I've heard the survivor stories, but what about the people who don't make it? For them, there comes a time when they truly believe they can no longer keep fighting. My sister went through this stage. She thought it would be a good time to make her one final wish known before she passed on. She wanted to meet One Direction, her idols, the ones who keep her smiling. When they visited the hospital, everyone knew they were coming to fill Aria's life with joy. However no one ever suspected they would do the same for me.
