I met Mr. Jones last year at another convention;
I even have another blog on this site about it.
Meeting him again was a spectacular chance for me.
Seeing him the first time had me so star-struck
that I hardly talked, I just gawked at him like
an idiot as he kindly talked to me. So I was hoping
to be able to actual talk to him this time, like
I wanted to before.
I waited at his
table all prepped and ready to say things like "You’re
my favorite person, your work is absolutely phenomenal,
I’ve seen almost everything you’ve been
in." And most importantly, I wanted to tell
him that I hope he never has a moment where he questions
whether he has made a difference in the world, or
in peoples' lives, because that is an area where
he should always feel secure.
Speaking from personal
experience and from what I’ve heard from others,
Doug Jones is just one of those people who can make
people believe in angels just from meeting him.
And it’s amazing what that can do for the
quality of peoples' lives. It does wonders for me.
Unfortunately when
I got to his table he recognized me from last year
and I melted. I spent the rest of the weekend gawking
like last year, and he was just as wonderful. So
again I couldn’t tell him. Well, maybe next
time.
