Dear AJ,Knowing that the only person who has ever been able to put a sincere smile on my face has not been able to put one on his for quite some time is one of the oddest and one of the scariest feelings. I've battled with bouts of depression and during them, like I said, the only thing that could bring a smile to my face was you, your voice. Never once did I realize, or consider, that you might be going through the same thing. I can't help but wonder why I didn't see it before. Why it took me seeing you sing that song, hearing you sing the last line - 'And I just want to be happy' for me to realize it. I could see it in your eyes then, so crystal clear.
I am so proud of you for coming forward, for admitting that you have a problem, and for seeking help. It takes courage for someone to do that, especially someone in your position. I have always respected you and because of this, that respect has grown. It will only continue to grow. I'm behind you 200% with this, wishing, hoping, and praying for your happiness and you health.
Last week I was promised front row seats to the second East Rutherford concert. It was my priority. It's funny how, within a matter of seconds, priorities change. I could care less about that concert right now. All I want is for you to be happy and you to be healthy.
All I want is to see a sincere smile, laughter, and happiness in your eyes again.
At the East Rutherford concert, 09.07, I'll be there with tears in my eyes and a sign - 'I'm Proud Of You'. Know that no matter what, the fans love you, they adore you.
God Bless.
-Kristen

AJ,
Ok, I'll admit, I'm a little sad that the Cleveland concert is postponed. But if there's anything I want it's for your well-being. I want to go to see a happy, healthy, well AJ that I know and love. And if I need to wait longer to see that then I will. Just so you know, I am behind you 100%. I hope you have a good recovery and I wish you nothing but the best.

Dear AJ;
I just wanted to say that I am behind you 100% of the way for doing the rehab thing. I kinda know what you are going through. My mother died when I was 14 years old, just over 3 years ago. I had to go and see somebody about my depression and I am now fully recovered. I hope, with all of my heart that you can over come your depression, and alcohol problem. Do it for everybody you and and even the people that you don't know. But most of all do it for yourself. I know that we fans are behind you the whole way and so are the rest of Backstreet and your family. Best wishes now and in the future. All my love, Amanda McGowan P.S. I love you AJ! Don't give up!
