Not too long ago, AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys lost his grandmother. I would like to send my condolences to him and his family for all of the BSB fans out there.
To The McLean Family,
I have been a Backstreet Boys fan for almost three years now and have supported BSB in every way I could. I have bought the CD's, I have bought T-Shirts, I have bought the videos and I have bought all the accessories. When Howie's sister passed away, I cried and sent a home made card to him. But somehow, I don't feel like this is enough. Especially now since AJ's Grandmother passed away.
I was watching the Kid's Choice Awards on Nickelodeon and when AJ didn't come out with the rest of the guys, I just knew something was wrong. And when Brian said why AJ wasn't there, I burst into tears, knowing how bad your whole family must feel. I lit a candle, prayed, and then came in here to write this, the best thing I can do.
My grandfather died in November of 1998. I felt numb when I found out at 5:00 in the morning, I was so shocked I couldn't cry. I was never extremely close to my grandfather, but I felt it, and it was hard. I know it must be much harder for your family, considering you were all so close, and I really frankly am not sure just what to say to you. Sorry just doesn't seem like enough.
In the Backstreet Boys fan club chat we all were sad, some even crying. We started to put crosses as our icons as a tribute to you during this awful event. Every single Backstreet Boys fan mourning in our own way, wondering how we could possibly give back to you in this time of need. Some started making cards, some lit candles, some just sat there and prayed. Me, I wrote this, hoping it would get published on www.kiwibox.com so that maybe, just maybe I could show you how much I really care.
I could send flowers, I could send a "I'm sorry" card, and I could cry all I want, but for me it just wouldn't seem enough. But, I give you all my heart, and that's all I can give, and it's the most I can give. I love you all, just from what I have seen on television, or what actions you have done. So, I give you my heart...... fully to every extent, and hope, in some small small way, it helps.
Love and condolences,
Heather
