So, I have to post these two together, because, JARED.
I had a thought of having J3 (Jared, Jensen, Jeff) each do the “gentleman’s kiss” to my hand - and for reasons, it only happened with Jared, WHICH WAS MORE THAN FINE. That adorable man waited until after the camera shot was taken and THEN actually kissed my hand and said he was a little bit naughty. I’m not lying when I say I damn near floated away.
I don’t remember smiling, I don’t remember anything but him looking me directly in the eyes and I think I may have had an out of body experience when his hand on my back pulled me in a bit closer.
So then, autos - my first ever. I had racked my brain trying to decide what to have him sign - it needed to be important and personal to me. And then AND THEN, my friend Karri wrote this amazingly gorgeous poem for loving yourself first and posted it and I cried and sent her in real time audio, clips of me breaking down crying. I knew immediately, THAT was what I wanted Jared to sign. So I commissioned her to hand write it for me.
When I gave it to Jared to sign, he stopped to read it. HE READ IT RIGHT THERE. He looked at me and said, “this is amazing” and I quietly slipped a journal I had had commissioned as well, with I Am Enough artwork on it, and told him a copy of the poem was inside, just for him. He looked a little surprised but happy and slipped it in his bag by his feet and said thank you, signed my poem with a huge smile, and kept making direct eye contact with me, which felt like falling into a kaleidoscope. When I told him thank you, he called me sweetheart and gave me his gorgeous dimpled grin, and I again floated away.
