Well, i was on your site today and I read the article titled "Could a Backstreet boy be a hero" or something like that. Well, I totally agree with everything the girl who wrote it said. Recently, my grandma had to have open heart surgery like Brian did. It broke my heart. I was depressed the whole time. Well, finally I just thought, you know, Brian went through this and look at him. Hes doing great. It made me realize things were going to be ok and I knew God was watching out for me and my grandma. I knew things were going to be alright. Brian helped me through that so much. He doesnt even know me or even know I exist but he is one of my heros. Now, on to AJ. Like AJ, I am also an only child and my mom is a single parent. My dad left when I was about 2. I still get to see him but we fight all the time. I think its because I am angry that he was or is never there for me. Well, also like AJ, me and my mom are very very close. She is like my best friend. She recently bought me BSB tickets and paid $700 for them even thought for were having some rough times with money and also took me to Memphis, Tennessee to see them before I found out they were coming to Texas. She has helped me with my dream of meeting them. I havent got to meet them yet, but she hasnt let me give up on that dream. When they were doing a show in Austin, which is the city I live in. She woke up early to take me to their hotel and we sat in our car from 8:00 in the morning til' 3:00 the next morning just trying to even get a glimpse of them. Of course we went to the show some of that time, but just the thought of her doing that for me made me so thankful. She always tells me, one day Amber, dont worry. AJ recently talked about reuniting with his dad and it made me realize I shouldnt be angry with my dad. I mean, hes not gonna be around forever and I should cherish the time we have together. AJ has also made me realize how close familys can be. My mom and my grandparents raised me and I thank God everyday for blessing me with my family. I know it sounds dumb but AJ has helped me alot. Like I said before, he doesnt even know me or even know I exist but he has truly helped me. He is definaltly one of my heros. ALL 5 of the guys are my heros. Their music helps me through good times and bad. They are such an inspiration and they tought me not to give up on my dreams. I thank each and every one of them for everything they have done, given, and given up for me. They truly are heros in my eyes. I honestly can say, I love them very much! Comment on this item.
