Melissa with King Clay…



You always go to the theater, or the concert hoping against all hope that you will come within just a few feet of Clay so that you can say that you had, but almost never do we feel that we will achieve what Melissa has, LOL. You go girl! She not only got within a few feet of him, she got his autograph, she got a hug, a whisper in her ear, a soft shoulder to lean on, and numerous photographs with him. Please read on as she reports it as she saw and felt it…

I am Melissa - aiken4aikenstouch - the girl in a wheelchair that Clay took a picture with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t even know what to say I can barely type LOL. This was all my dads doing he left Spamalot early and saved me a spot right at the front. Clay came out and signed my playbill and Dad asked if we could get a picture and he said we’d do something and Jerome told me to stay put (like I was going anywhere!!!!!) and when he was done Clay pulled me through the barrier hugged me and asked me "What’s your name sweetie" and I said "Melissa...O My God" LOL then he said "Let's turn around" and he knelt beside me for the picture and while we were waiting he whispered in my ear "Is dad gonna ever take the picture" LOL and then it was done let me Just say that he has very comfy shoulders to lean on *Thud* and he gives the best hugs EVER. Thank you Clay for making my dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later she wrote:

YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING I FEEL SO LOVED It is so nice to know that even if it was only for a minute Clay knew who I was and even if he doesn't remember, it is something I will NEVER FORGET!
