    She has the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen. Rest in peace, sunshine
  • This was actually filmed in 2003. She lived another 11 years and died at 17 in 2015. Such a sweet girl with such a loving family.

    I think it would be great if under each documentary about rare diseases like this, a link was added to donate money to centers that investigate these diseases.
  • 7:30 the way she says "it doesn't matter" and then went into her funny story almost made me cry 🥹 we can really learn a lot from her ☺

    What's so sad is that this was filmed a almost two decades ago. She's definitely not alive anymore which really breaks my heart.

    What a gorgeous little child. She was so sweet and loving. The way she ran to her grand father for a hug . She lived life to the fullest. Hope she is resting peacefully wherever she is now

    Hayley was a ray of sunshine who gave and received more love than most would experience in a much longer lifetime. A rare and beautiful soul with the sweetest and wisest little face♥
