Rest in peace, Shiloh
Shiloh Pepin, a ten year old girl with a congenital deformity called sirenomelia (more commonly known as mermaid syndrome) passed away on Friday. Many documentaries have aired that followed her life, and she wasn't even expected to live for more than a few days at birth. The fact that she made it to ten was a miracle, but she struggled with so many ongoing health problems. However, the last documentary that aired just a few weeks ago reported her to be in the best health of her life, so this is quite a shock.

I don't know how many of you have seen any of her documentaries, but she was such an amazing little girl. She had such a spirit and inner strength that you don't see very often in people. She was truly an inspiration <3
