Not sure what to say?

I have been a fan of yours since I was 12 yrs. old. You were my first love. I have had a crush on you ever since. I even named my second son Darren after you. I have loved you for more than 60 years. I am 76 now and I still love you. You were so good looking. Best looking man by far. I´m thankful for your Gidget movies that I still watch and drool over you. R I P James Darren. You deserve it for a life well lived and for being such a great person. Still love you forever.

Have loved
