Hello people who read my blog! This is only going to be a birthday letter, but a long one.
Dear Riker,

LA County Fair 9/13/14 |

Happy 24th Birthday!! You mean the world to me. You are so sweet, funny and amazingly talented. I love your goofy personality. Your smile always make me smile and when I hear your voice I get really happy and warm inside. Everything about you makes me want to smile. You and R5 have changed my life for the better and I really love that you go around every day with the biggest smile on your face. I remember the first time i met you, September 13, 2014 at the LA County Fair. I was so nervous to hug you or touch you in any way because, in my mind, you are the most valuable and fragile being. In my eyes you are the most angelic person ive ever seen. When I hugged you, I didnt even squeeze you because I thought I was going to break you. Then you hugged me and I never wanted to let go. It was the most warm and comfortable hug I ever got from anyone. Every time I see you it feels like the first time. On March 4, 2015 I was right behind you at a concert and I tried really hard to get your attention. It took a few tries, but a girl next to me tapped on your shoulder and you turned around. At first I was shocked because I was thinking
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY TOUCH THIS PIECE OF ART?? YOU COULD HAVE BROKEN HIM, but then I actually built up the courage to talk to you and ask you for a picture. You said no. But you put it in the most polite way there wasnt any way i could be mad or even a little disappointed. I didnt know this before I got home, but I was extremely disappointed. I was crying, I was so mad that my birthday wish didnt come true (oh btw that night was three days after my birthday). I basically cried myself to sleep because it was one of the most fun, yet sad moments Ive ever had. And then four days later, on March 8, I saw you at a restaurant next to the one I was in. I was so nervous I couldnt eat. I texted and called my friends and they were screaming at me through the phone like I was so freaked out. I decided to come up to you and ask for a picture, but I kind of didnt want to because I thought you were going to say no again and that wouldve broken my heart. Once I walked up to you, I said your name and you turned around. I can tell you remembered me because your face lit up when you saw me. (And at this point in writing this letter Im aleady crying). I asked for a picture and to my luck you said yes.

I took the picture and I felt like I
was invading your privacy because you were on a date with your girlfriend Savannah. I quickly left and went back to my parents and started texting my friends. They were mad at me because I didnt get a video of you saying hi to them so they made me go back. I wrote on a paper what they wanted you to say so you didnt need to trouble yourself and try and memorize our names. It said "Hi Elizabeth, Chanel and Daniela I love you guys, Happy Birthday Ilona". After I got that on film I felt like my life was complete. I said thank you to both you and your girlfriend, although thank you wasnt even enough. I was shaking and I couldnt stop, my heart was pounding like it was all I can hear. That was my favorite memory of you and I and nothing could beat that. I love you with all my heart and I cant wait to see you again in January.. Happy 24th Birthday Riker Anthony Lynch!
Love,
Ilona <3
