This is the story about how Jared Padalecki gave me one of the best moments in my entire life yesterday.

I’m gonna start by saying what I’ve said many times already. Jared is my favorite actor and person in the whole world, the love of my life. Has been for 13 years. For the longest time I never thought I’d meet him but fortunately I had had the chance to do it twice and both times were memorable. Although nothing compares to Nolacon 2017.

First of all, I wasn’t supposed to be at this con. That was the current joke for the whole week. Last year after Minncon ended, Heather kept saying how she was going to Nola in 2017, and I was adamant by saying that I was done with conventions. A week later, I was already making plans for it. It was that easy, how could I not go? How could I not be with my friends? And also, how could I pass the opportunity to see my sunshine Jared again? So fast forward 14 months and here I was at Nolacon 2017.

The con was great, but I was upset because for the first time ever I went silver instead of gold, so I had to miss the gold panel. I was sulking during it. But the photo ops lifted my spirit, the boys were in a great mood and all pictures turned out fantastic. And then there was the awesome panel and the autographs, and that’s where I want to get to.

Since we were at the last row of silver, I suggested we waited to go last so we could spend a couple more minutes talking to Jared without people behind us. So we did that. We went to Jensen first, he didn’t talk much as usual just thanked us and smiled. I’m always intimidated to talk to him lol. But then we moved to Jared as the last ones in the line, and for the first time, I didn’t know what to say to him unlike the other both times when I had something kind of prepared. When I got to him, he signed my art and I said this to him:

“Hey Jared, I just wanted to say that this is the third time i travel from Brazil to see you, because I love you damn much and you’re so important to me. I’m here again for you and I want to thank you for everything, thank you for being here.”

Jared looked at me so intensely and I could see he was touched by it. He smiled sincerely and held up his hand to link our fingers like he did last year at minn. He squeezed my hand and thanked me, wished me safe travels. While I was walking away, I noticed that he kept looking at me, with this very intense deep look and I was so touched by it already. Instead of returning to where we had our stuff, I decided to wait until Jared left, so I could see him one last time from up close. So I stayed close to the autos table, where I knew he was gonna walk by pretty soon. And so he started to leave.

When he was beginning to walk away he spotted me. And he detoured from his path to come towards me and gave me a hug, wishing me safe travels again. He hugged me tight and then left. I was left in a shock, I didn’t know what to do. I walked back to my girls and sobbed on their shoulders for a good ten minutes. Jared went out of his way to give ME a hug.

Funny thing, 14 months ago I was sitting at a hotel room in NYC after minn typing a story about how jared detoured from his path to comfort a crying fan after the autos ended at minncon and how I was so deeply touched by that and how I could witness firsthand the amazing man Jared is. And now, I’m sitting at a hotel in Atlanta typing the story about how Jared detoured from his path to hug me. Maybe this is my reward from sharing such an amazing story from this amazing man.

And then, thinking about the events of last night, I came to the conclusion that maybe Jared needed to hear what i said as much as I needed to say it. The thing is, Jared gets so much shit from this fandom all the time, and also he has his issues with depression and anxiety, so all times I met him I made sure to let him know how much I love him. And maybe hearing that I’ve travelled so long and so many times just for him, was something he really needed to know. The deep way he looked at me as I was walking away and the way he made sure to hug me told me that. We don’t know when our words and actions may affect someone, even if I’m just a fan and Jared is a celebrity. Maybe at that moment, I gave him exactly what he needed and I’ll never forget it.

My dream that I probably never voiced was getting a real hug from Jared. Not one for photo ops and stuff, just a real hug from him which was something I never got. And last night he gave me that, he gave me a present which is bigger than he could ever know, and it was much more than I could ever ask for. Suddenly the gold panel that I miss didn’t matter anymore. I was exactly where I needed to be to be able to receive what i always wanted and maybe give Jared exactly what he needed at that moment. Everything was worth it, the long hours on a plane, the money I spent, the sacrifices I made to be at nola. I knew at that moment it was worth everything and that I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Last year I said how much my love for Jared had grown after witnessing what i did, but after yesterday I can’t even put into words how I feel about this man. I’ve never met in my whole life such a special person, a more incredible soul. I can’t believe I had the privilege of meeting him, and having at least a few moments of his time directed only to me.

Thank you Jared, for everything. Thank you for existing and for being here. The world would be a much darker place without your light. I’m not gonna say I love you because it’s not even close to that. There are no words.

Just thank you.
