My name is Kelly and my 8 year old daughter Thalia is a HUGE fan! When Thalia found out Justin was coming to Perth, Australia she begged us to go to his concert, so we secretly bought tickets for her 8th birthday & told her that the concert was sold out. OMG she was heart broken!! On her birthday she opened her pressies, we left the tickets until the very end of the day. When Thalia opened it and read it, she screamed the house down with excitement and then cried! It was so cute and to see that reaction made it all worth it! I had been telling everyone I know that my mission was for Thalia to meet Justin so I wrote to Ellen, tweeted Ellen NUMEROUS times but no reply! I wrote to local radio stations etc, but as Justin said NEVER SAY NEVER, I was not giving up! We went to a special screening of Justin’s movie ‘NEVER SAY NEVER’ and let me say, it was very inspirational . After watching it I was even more determined to help her with 1 of her dreams and have her meet him (the other is to dance on stage with him, i’m working on that 1). When I opened an email from his website telling me they have a comp to win a meet & greet I was putting the positive vibes out there to win. I entered and kept telling everyone Thalia will win this. The morning I got the phone call is one I will NEVER forget! As I entered in my name, they called me to say I had won. At 1st I thought it was a crazy call set up by friends as it was all I talked about for months! After they finally convinced me it was true and I had won, I asked the lady if she would like to tell our daughter as I entered for her. When the lady told Thalia the exciting news, she was silent had tears rolling down her face! It was such a special moment. When she got off the phone she couldn’t speak. She started planning what to wear and what to say. Our little girl was going to meet her idol! As the concert night approached, she was so nervous! We had a mummy/daughter day and then headed to the meet & greet! They were running late and she was just getting more nervous, some of the older girls we didn’t know kept coming up to her screaming at her because she was going to meet him. Thalia was getting upset and scared as the girls were pretty full on! I kept her away from cameras and everyone else, so we hid in the corner until it was time to go in. As we entered the dome she said to me, “I love you so much mum. Thank you!” We waited patiently in line for some time and took lots of pics, even had a lady come up asking for a pic of Thalia (not sure if she was a staff member of Justin’s), as she thought she looked funky! That made Thalia’s day! Thalia had sweaty palms as we got closer and we could hear the older girls scream each time they went in there. When it was our turn to go in, Thalia squeezed my hand so tight she was extremely nervous! I will let Thalia tell you how it went: “My name is Thalia. I felt really happy to meet Justin Bieber and it was awesome. He even gave me a kiss on the cheek. It was the best day of my life, he was really nice and the concert was so much fun. Thank you for letting me meet you!” To share that moment with our daughter was amazing! Although we were rushed in and out, Justin was a very nice young man. Thank you for taking the time to meet your fans, our daughter just thinks the world of you & it meant so much to her that she met you. Thalia recently left the dance studio she has been with for 6yrs and it upset her. After the last day there, she came home and watched ‘Never Say Never’. We think to remind herself of her dream to 1 day dance with you. You are such an amazing young man and setting such a good example to young people all over the world to never give up on your dreams. Thank you to all involved with our daughters meet & greet. You guys rock!!! All the best, -Horgan Family x Read more here: My name is Kelly and my 8 year old daughter Thalia is a HUGE…
