It's been two weeks since Johnny died and I still cry my eyes out every day from it. I am a 14 year old girl from Columbus, Ohio who absolutely adored everything about Johnny. I grew up watching every single movie and TV show he has been in. I've been watching The Rifleman every day since I was around 5 years old. The bond Chuck and Johnny had was honestly so delightful and it inspired me to be close with my own dad as well. Johnny has inspired me to do a lot of things, such as the horse back riding and rodeo. Although my father things I am still a little young for rodeo, I know that's what I am going to end up doing as I am a little older. In 2013 at the Festival of the West, me and my dad had went and we met Johnny. I was only 6 years old, and I remember the day like it was yesterday.

In 2013 at the Festival of the West, me and my dad had went and we met Johnny. I was only 6 years old, and I remember the day like it was yesterday. Johnny was such a sweetheart, and I remember him holding out his hand so that I could come sit on his lap and talk to him, and I did. We had talked about how I've been growing up, learning and watching you. I remember saying "You were a handsome boy." and he just laughed and smiled away. I also remember him singing me his song 'Debbie', as we were dancing too. I also had brought him a gift, I had brought him a cowboy hat and a belt buckle. And in return, he just gave me a memory that I'll never forget. He gave me a small kiss on the cheek, and I had given him the biggest hug ever. If only my dad had gotten pictures and films, but we were poor then and didn't have the money to buy a camera to take pictures and film with. May his beautiful soul rest in peace. His memory will live with me until I meet with him again in heaven. We love you, Johnny. Oh, how I miss you so much....
