This lady is one of my best friends in the entire world. She is amazing.
Hayley and I became friends in 2009. We clicked instantly. I'm pretty sure it had to have been fate. I knew right from the beginning that that she would be by my side no matter what, and she was. When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 she was there. She stuck by me through the good days, and more importantly, the bad days. We would lay in my hospital bed and talk for hours about anything and everything. When I had my left leg amputated below the knee she was the one who kept telling me that I would be okay and that I could do it. She knew when I needed comfort and when I needed a kick in the ass. She believed in me when I didn't.
Hayley is so truly beautiful. She is constantly putting the people in her life before herself. She ALWAYS has a smile on her face, even on a bad day. I wanted to do this shoot because I wanted her to see herself how I do, someone who is lovely and worthy. I admire Hayley in so many ways. Her zeal, tenacity, and drive motivate me to always push myself and to keep going no matter what. It's my wish for her that she will carry the confidence she had that day into each new day, and that she will always feel beautiful.
Don't ever change ♥
