NEW YORK (CNN/WCVB) - A little girl battling a rare form of brain cancer is having one happy Valentine's Day. That's because she got to fulfill her wish of meeting pop superstar Justin Bieber.

Avalanna Routh is just 6 years old, but she's beating the odds of an aggressive, deadly cancer that she's had since she was a baby.

She's also proving dreams really do come true.

Bieber flew the little girl and her family to New York where she was all smiles.

Bieber later said it was one of the best experiences of his life and that little Avalanna was "awesome."
