I Want to Meet Madonna

My lifetime dream is to meet pop star Madonna. I am 38 years old, live in Ottawa, Canada, and have been a diehard Madonna fan since age 10. Throughout the years and amidst life’s ups and downs, she has been the one constant "friend" in my life, providing inspiration, hope, joy, and amazing entertainment.

When I was in junior high, I used to entertain students at lunch time by singing Madonna songs in the playground. Friends and fellow students used to refer to me as "Mr. Madonna." In 2002, when Madonna starred in the play Up for Grabs in London, England, my younger brother and I purchased tickets for the play, booked a flight and accommodations, only to learn that the date for the show we were supposed to attend had been postponed until the day we were to fly back to Canada.

The airline would not let us change our flight unless we paid a substantial fee (which we could not afford), so we had no choice but to spend a week in London without seeing the play. Several years ago, when Madonna was promoting her CD "American Life" in New York City and doing an autograph signing, I was unable to attend due to work restrictions; however, my younger brother attended the signing and met Madonna, much to my dismay. Over the years, I have spent thousands of dollars on Madonna concert tickets and memorabilia. Anyone who knows me will tell you that one cannot mention my name without associating it with Madonna.

As you may know, Madonna is currently on a world tour and will be bringing her show to Ottawa on September 10, 2012. This will mark the first time Madonna has performed in Ottawa, and I literally had tears in my eyes when I learned that she would be performing here. I cannot stand to think that Madonna will be in my hometown and that I most likely will not have the chance to meet her. Madonna, if you are reading this, please "open your heart" and grant me my lifetime dream; that way, I can cross it off my bucket list! Thank you for a lifetime of joy!

Love,

Your biggest Italian-Canadian fan
