Mark Hamill took time out to visit Donegal yesterday, particularly to pop in to see 17-year-old Jamie Harkin. According to FB Newswire, "Harkin was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2011 and suffered a relapse in 2013."
Posting to his Facebook, Harkin eloquently shared his thoughts on the massive experience, saying: "I'm speechless. I don't know how I'm ever going to write a status that will ever do justice to what just happened and how I'm feeling. Even now there's a wealth of emotions running through me, I'm definitely still in shock, I'm absolutely elated, incredibly humbled, honoured and just completely overwhelmed... I finally met my idol today. I had breakfast with Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill himself. People say that you should never meet your idols, because you build them up in your head so much that when you do meet them, they are a let down, and to that, I say, 'You're wrong.' Mark was everything I ever imagined him to be and then some."
