Alexander,
As I sit here trying to think of what to say to you, tears stream down my face. Today I realized that everyone is put on this earth for a reason. I feel as though you are my guardian angel. Since I will not be able to tell you this in person I feel this is the only way to get in touch is by writing to you. After a few months of being very depressed and hating myself I stooped down to the lowest level and turned to alcohol.On July 7, 2001 I was dangerously drunk and put myself and people I care about in danger. I was almost sent to a hospital. Luckily I turned out OK and I am able to write this letter write now. Up until today I was planning on making a habit of this and maybe worse. After hearing this story I felt everything in me break apart. When Kevin said he hoped this helped someone else out there. Kevin you can be pleased to know it has. I will never turn to drinking again. And I finally talked to someone about my depression. As of right now.. I put aside any personal wish or selfish thing I have ever asked for. My only wish is for you(alex) to get well, be healthy and do what you love to do again. But above all that be happy once again and for the rest of your life. God bless you and I will keep you in my prayers.
Love you and wish you the best,
Margherita Rappa
P.S.Whenever you question why you are here
Remember what your bravery has done for me.

AJ,
I hope that you will get better my prayers are with you. It took alot of guts to check yourself in and im really proud of you for doing that. not very many people that are in your situation would have done that and im glad that you did. When i heard that my heart stoped beating for a second cause their are people in my family that suffer from alcoholism and they wont get help and im glad that you did.
All my love and prayers are with you

Dear AJ,
If you read any of these I hope you read mine. I hope you get through this next month easily. I am glad that you are getting help now so you can join the guys once again after this. You have a talent that is sooo great and stands out when you sing and I would die if you couldn't go on and use it. I know that all your fans,especially me, will stand with you through this tough time. I love you and I hope that what ever you are depressed about gets better and you can use your wonderful talent again. Love Ashley Robinson
