Book Character I would like to meet

One book character that I would like to meet would be Ira Levinson from "The Longest Ride" by Nicholas Sparks. This character stands out to me because I'm a hopeless romantic and his love story was beautiful. He went through some traumatic experiences and still was able to see the good in it all. I would love to sit down with him and read all the letters he had written to his wife. Their story is inspiring and the affect that it had on the other characters in the book was powerful. Plus I love older people, I feel there is a lot we can learn from their experiences and they are always entertaining.
