Chloe,
I was standing front and center when you ladies of Celtic Woman walked into the Barnes and Noble signing table, and you were all dressed so beautifully and had smiles for everyone that were there to greet you. How beautiful you all looked, and yes I did see you look at me with that beautiful smile. I had not seen any of you since April and you have been missed so very much.

I had taken a position so that I could watch each of you as you greeted each of your many fans, and the way each of you were interested in what each brought to the signing table, and the exchange between each of you and the person you were talking to. I marveled at how each of you loved this rare meeting with your fans and all of you seemed to enjoy everything that was happening with this signing.

Soon it was announced that you would have pictures taken with the ones that desired for this to happen, and it seemed that everyone there wanted this rare opportunity to have their picture taken with you, and that included me. When it became my turn there was Lisa on my left and I requested for Mairead to be on my right side. Chloe, I have been in love with these two ladies ever since I saw the first PBS Celtic Woman Show from the Helix Center in 2005, and you were still fifteen years old. Chloe as I have told you on many of my post, I have since seen you grow up and as this has happened you have matured and your voice has grown so much richer; and as I look at you now you have become a most beautiful lady. Chloe you know that I love you, and I have no doubt that you know that as I have seen you sing and smile just to me during many of the Celtic Woman Shows. You always thrill my heart when you do that, and this day was no exception to that. I loved my encounter with you and having pictures taken with you; and thank you for posing for that beautiful close-up of you. How beautiful that picture is, and you have such a beautiful smile.

It is now time to give the gifts that I brought for all of you from the Mairead Forum members, and you all accepted those gifts so gratefully. Now there were more pictures and I got to talk with each of you while the pictures continued to be taken.

Now Joanne is telling everyone it is time for you to go, so reluctantly each of you slowly begin to leave; but I could not leave until you all had left the building.

Chloe, this had been the most enjoyable two and a half hours I have ever had. To be there with all you beautiful ladies and to get to talk with each of you and have pictures taken with you is a dream come true.

Chloe, I do not think that there is a doubt in your mind that I do love you, as I do all of you beautiful ladies of Celtic Woman.

I look forward to seeing you in less than two months.

Chloe, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank you for this day.

Jim
