AJ.
Hey I am one of the mature fans that love you so much and am praying that you will soon be back on the stage doing what you do best, singing and dancing. We love watching you, I am so proud of you and the guys for letting the fans know about the situation. You are a very strong person and I love you even more for that.
I will probably never get to meet you or even go to a concert but I have all of the cds and videos and i watch them as much as i can.
Well you are probably getting tired of hearing from me cause i have sent you letters and cards but i care so thats why i am doing it. Please get well soon.
Heres something to think about:
I will love you more than that, i wont say the words then take them back. Dont give loneliness a chance, baby listen to me when i say I can love you more than that.Love

AJ,
Hey. I will try to make this as short as I can. First of all I want to start by saying I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as I have been for a while. I can also tell you on a first hand experience that I have had this week during my churches mission trip to colarado (that is a whole nother story)that our god is an awesome god and he works in mysterious ways. I heard about all this when I was in Colarado with my church youth group doing gods mission work. My friend and I were in the hotel calling out families and her mom said something to me about it. As soon as we got off the phone I shared what she had said with some of my close friends who happened to be in our hotel room at the time. We said that we would pray for you. So Just to let you know that back in Arkansas you have people praying for you as well as the whole world. You have to rember that prayer is very powerful. I hope you get better.
Praying for you,
Kelli

Muchas personas entraran y saldran de tu vida; pero solo verdaderos
amigos dejaran huellas en tu corazon! .
Para manejarte a ti mismo,
usa la cabeza; manejarte con los demas... usa tu corazon!...
El enojo es solo una carta de peligro. Si alguien te traiciona una
vez, es su falta; si te traiciona dos veces,es tu; falta.
Las grandes mentes discuten las ideas;mentes promedio discuten los eventos;mentes pequeñas discuten a las personas.
El que pierde dinero, pierde mucho; el que pierde a un amigo, pierde mucho mas; el pierde la fe, pierde todo.
Las personas jovenes bonitas son obra de naturaleza, pero las personas viejas bonitas son obras de arte.
Aprende de los errores de otros! talvez no viviras lo suficiente para aprender todo de ti mismo ..
Los amigos, tu y yo...
Tu traes otro amigo...; Y ahora somos tres...
Nosotros empezamos nuestro
grupo... Nuestro circulo de amigos... Y como es un circulo?... No hay ni principio ni fin.!..
El ayer es historia, el mañana? es;
misterio!; el hoy es un regalo, que llamamos presente ...
Gracias por ser lo que eres en mi vida, si te mando esto es porque te quiero muchisisisimo y siempre te tengo pendiente, espero que asi sea igual conmigo... aunque lo hago sin esperar nada a cambio de ti. I love u so much, get well soon.

AJ,
My name is Jessica Hambly and I am not only one of your biggest fans but also a friend. I am writing you to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers each and every day. I know that you will be back to your old self in no time it's just a matter of believing in yourself (which I know you are). You are very lucky to have all the support you do from your friends, family 4 brothers and all your fans around the world, most people aren't that lucky! AJ you are my one and only role model I have so much respect for you as a friend and a fan. Not most people attempt they have a problem and you did, that took a lot of courage to do that. I thank god every day that you did that and you steoed up to the plate and said you needed help. I have so much respect for you. I love you lots AJ! Here is a little poem just for you from me and my best friend cory:
One Step at a Time
"Is The Best Way To Go"
when going through life
and traveling in the
direction of your dreams,
the best way to get ahead
is the simplest way!Take it one step at a time.
Don't look over your shoulder;
if you do, you'll feel
the weight of all your
yesterdays upon you.
And don't worry about
what lies ahead.
By the time you get to
the bend in the road
or the crest of the hill,
you're going to be
better and stronger than
you ever were before.
Just go a step at a time,
one day at a time.
And you'll find
a rich,
thankful life
you never thought
you could afford.
AJ I really hope that you like this little poem we got for you. N-E_Way I will let you go. I love you and your in my heart always. Take care and look out for me and my friend cory Aug.17 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, we are going to your show and it's my birthday that night so maybe you can say Happy birthday to me Aug !7, I'll be 29 years old. Thanks Aj for everything, you are my everything always and forever!
Love Always,
Jessica Hambly

Dear Alex,Who is writing you here, is a friend and a fan from Brazil. When I heard about your problems I just couldn’t believe and that’s why with all my insignificance I’m trying to communicate with you.
It’s not the first time a Pop Star like you have those kind of problems and I’d like to apology myself for everything I’ve done to you.
Seeing you like this, made me think about what was my part in yours problems and I found so many small things that I decided to send you this. It’s a very bad English (I’m still learning) but who knows you won’t understand.
Sorry for all those times you had to go upstage to satisfy our egocentric anxiety of your image. And I’m saying image, because most of the time we were so busy screaming we loved you and we couldn’t leave without you that it wasn’t even given you the chance of expressing yourself as a normal human being you are.
I’m ashamed of this irrational idolatry that not rarely condemned you to a sort of an “emotional prison”. Somewhere we arrested you for and didn’t let you leave.
Now I understand that when you idolize a man you take from him the chance to commit mistakes, what is not far. And… I think…I’ve done it with you.
I didn’t want things to go by this way, so, as a big fan I wished you could receive this message and share with me of this love energy, which is being sent with this letter.
I’m praying for you everyday and I know it is going to help the treatment.
What I wanted ask you – with all power of the love I know there’s in your heart-is:
PLEASE COMEBACK A SMILE –with your soul
DON’T LEAVE YOUR HAPPYNESS IN OTHERS PEOPLE HANDS-make it yourself
Some time ago a very close relative of mine had the same necessity of professional help-as you do now- and by harder it was he got it.
That’s why I KNOW YOU CAN!
WHEN YOU DO WANT SOMETHING YOU GET IT!!!
Look back at the BSB story…Look at so many things you’ve got as group –together and ever-.
Another thing is that you shouldn’t feel pressured by anyone to have a super-hero recuperation (quick and miraculous), because here in the real world things are not so easy although they are definitely possible.
Go on persevering in good ideals, distributing love to all those around you, and above all thanking God every day for the blessings he’ve been given you your whole life.
About me, well, I’m giving my honoured word I’ll never do with anyone else what my selfish has done with you.
Kisses and Hugs,
Moara
