I first saw Justin play at a local mall in September of 2009. Since 2007, I have always followed him on Youtube and also when he created Twitter. I am currently living with a life threatening heart condition known as Uhl’s Anomaly and I am awaiting a transplant. Since I was just 9 years old, now 19, I always contemplated the idea of a wish from the Make A Wish of America Foundation. I changed my mind a billion times, plus times for the past ten years and just couldn’t settle on one. Finally at the beginning of last year, I settled on a wish. My wish was to meet Justin Bieber. Make-a-Wish flew my family and I out to Cincinnati, Ohio.  The day finally arrived. The day of, we were driven by limo to the concert venue. We were brought backstage into his dressing room for a private meet and greet. I waited in the hallway for him to arrive more excited than I had ever been. I saw him walking towards me and couldn’t barely hold in the excitement. After he introduced himself, he invited us into his dressing room. While in there, he pulled out my chair and one for himself to sit next to me. We sat and talked for a while and I couldn’t stop smiling. He noticed my phone in my hand and asked if I would like to take a picture with it. Of course I said yes. Then we took pictures for a little while. I looked over and saw Sean Kingston sitting on the other couch. I couldn’t believe he was there too. Justin called him over and we all took pictures together. It was amazing. After signing some magazines and such for me, just as we were about to leave Justin told me to wait because he had a gift for me. He brought over a really big box. He opened it for me and inside was a brand new Epiphone guitar, which was an exact replica of the one he uses on tour. He signed my name with a heart and under it he wrote, “Never say Never” and also autographed it. He handed it to me and said never stop playing. We ended up taking some more pictures with the guitar. I was more excited because when taking the pictures, his arm was around me. I felt so special. This Make A Wish trip and thanks to Justin, for one day, I wasnt thinking about health issues or anything that was wrong. I was just happy. Ever since he wrote Never Say Never on my guitar, I live by it every day. I even have gone so far as getting it tattooed on my leg. Justin changed my life. What was really amazing about this whole experience was that I was his FIRST EVER Make A Wish kid. That made it even more special. Justin is such an inspiration to so many people, including myself. Now I’ll end it with this: I once finally got him to RT a quote I sent him on Twitter. He then became one of my followers. However, a few months later I was trying to direct message him and accidently blocked him instead. This removed him from my followers. So since, I have been trying to get him to follow me again. Luckily, I did. A few days ago he became a new follower of mine. I just want to say thank you to Justin for everything he has done and giving me something positive in my life at this time. He truly helps me through alot. I am currently in the hospital waiting for transplant and I even have a cardboard cut out of him in my room, along with posters and such. Thank you Justin, -@itskaylakelly Go here to read the rest: I first saw Justin play at a local mall in September of 2009….
