Blake Shelton makes little girl with brain cancer's dreams come true

In case you hadn't gotten the chance to hear the story yet, the parents of 6-year-old Harlie Bryant who has been undergoing treatment for brain cancer made a plea on Twitter for Harlie to be able to meet her hero Blake Shelton. After bunches of people caught wind of the Twitter request and retweeted it, Blake eventually heard about it and tweeted back to the family a few weeks ago on July 27: 

“My 6yr daughter has brain cancer She wants to meet @blakesheltonat big o fest in Owensboro @HopeForHarlie” Whoa! Let's make this happen!!

The family and Blake have tweeted back and forth a couple of times and this weekend the meeting between Blake and sweet little Harlie finally took place at Owensboro's Big O Music Fest.

After the meeting, Harlie said about meeting Blake, "Well, he went to go see us for a little bit, then we left. It was fun."

Short and sweet. Too cute. 

Check out the video Kentucky's NBC 14 did on the meeting between Blake and his young fan below or here if that doesn't work.
