the little rachel in this photo thought that this was going to be her one and only time to meet the osmonds, especially merrill. she thought that she was going to have one chance and that's it
if you were to tell the rachel in this photo about how wild the next three years were going to be, about the experiences she was going to have with merrill and justin and jay etc
about the extended family she was going to receive through not only the fans of the guys but also the guys and their families themselves, she would not have believed you
every day I am thankful for that meeting, I am very aware of how lucky I am to have met my fave as many times as I have and believe me when I say I never take it for granted
the deep rooted love I have for merrill and the rest of the osmonds is so much a part of my day to day life I can't explain it, the memories of the moments I've had with them keep me going when things go wrong
I've had moments that have been crazier than that one but nothing will ever replace the feeling I had when Merrill first hugged me, called me sweetheart and very sweetly asked me if I was feeling better now
warmth and love radiate from that man, he's so softly spoken and has such a calming presence I can't describe it, when you hear him sing you wouldn't expect it but he is the most gentle person and his hugs are healing
for a couple of months after this meet and greet I was the most annoying person on the planet, every day I would send that photo to my friends with the caption "just a reminder that I met the osmonds on 30/12/16"
I felt, and still do feel like if I didn't talk about it then it didn't happen, it was less to remind them and more to remind me that it happened and it was real because I had woken up from so many dreams of it not being real
so
just a reminder that I met the osmonds on 30/12/16
