TLC Bids A Final Farewell To Mermaid Girl Shiloh Pepin.

Last night TLC aired Mermaid Girl: The Last Six Months, their last documentary about Shiloh Pepin, the adorable ten-year-old whose struggles with sirenomelia or "mermaid syndrome" the network followed in a series of specials, and who passed away in October.

The documentary portrays the last six months of Shiloh's life as full of challenges and triumphs, and was kind of excruciating

to watch, knowing the way it was going end. The lesson Shiloh's caring family drew from her life was to appreciate each day as if it were the last, a lesson that, along with celebration of Shiloh's enthusiasm for life, excuses somewhat the kind of exploitative nature of this special. In the clip above, Shiloh's family and friends flood a church a week after her death for a tearful and loving memorial service.

Shiloh was a truly amazing girl. Even when life was tough for her, she went through it all with a smile. She was so optimistic, and she loved laughing more than any person I know. Rest in Peace, beautiful Shiloh. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

The Lord only takes the best, he decided to take Shiloh.

From the moment I first saw you and heard about you, I believed in you. You lived life to the fullest and that taught me that we should too. To not take our lives for granted.

Rest in Peace, sweet little Shiloh.

Shiloh is someone who is special in so many ways not because of the fact that she was a mermaid but because she inspired so many people with her personality and happiness. When I found out she died I cried all day because although I didn't personally know her she felt like my friend. If I ever met her family I'd tell them just how much I look up to their daughter. Love ya girlie, you gave me hope that real life beautiful mermaids really do exist.
