In 2007, Kelly Clarkson – American Idol’s first winner – met with Florida teen Carissa, sharing with her a dream-come-true. Carissa was born with spina bifida, a birth defect that occurs when a portion of the spinal column fails to develop and close properly. This condition has left Carissa with severe mobility limitations. She must wear leg braces and requires a wheelchair for distance. In addition, Carissa has suffered from hydrocephalus, a condition which causes fluid to build up around the brain.
When she was given the opportunity for a very special wish to come true, she chose to meet Kelly Clarkson, her absolute favorite singer! She was able to watch Kelly perform a live concert before heading back stage for a meet & greet. The two chatted together, posed for pictures, and exchanged gifts. Carissa summed up the experience by saying simply: “This was the best day of my life!”

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
Can't live
Can't give anymore
Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yeah, yes it shows
Can't live
If living is without you
Can't live
I can't give anymore
Can't live (no, can't live)
If living is without you (No, I can't live)
Oh, I can't live
Can't give anymore, oh
(No, can't live)
(No, I can't live)
No, oh yeah, no, no, no, no, no
I can't live
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
Can't live
Can't give anymore
Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving

Yeah, yes it shows
Can't live
If living is without you
Can't live

Oh, I can't live
Can't give anymore, oh
(No, can't live)
(No, I can't live)
No, oh yeah, no, no, no, no, no
I can't live
