Monica and I at the Black Family Reunion in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall. I think it was about 2004 when I was 23 years of age. I was so desperate to meet her that I asked one of the workers could I get a picture after her performance. There were children waiting for autographs and few fans wanting to take pictures etc. They were yelling her name from the gates. However, I was fortunate enough to get to take a picture with her. The first picture was regular and the second one, well I just kissed her. I didn't think she expected it and was surprised. I was so excited and will never forget this time. I know she remember as well as her manager Melinda. Hey Monica and company. I look forward to the new album in 2009; much love and success. Leroy Ware, from Washington, D.C.
