I happen to get an answer from CJ oh after about my 4th email to him, we would talk by email and text each on our phones, thanksgiving 2013, I was depressed, so I was like hmm after CJ answered an email on that day, we shared a holiday for the first time "I liked that" I was able to talk but still want my meet he's the only one I never got a personal pic of 91"
