Sitting Beside A Miracle…
One Love For Chi.. Always!
namaste my one love family. sorry for the hiatus. life has thrown a few more curve balls – cause that’s when you get kicked, when your already down. besides being in the midst of a nasty divorce and losing everything, i am still here. it’s actually a blessing to purge all the ugliness and negativity out of my life. to become empty allows me to be filled with all the good.
most importantly, let me talk about dai. he is alive and kicking. my beast of a man. being honored enough to take care of him is like watching a miracle everyday. to watch him hold on and fight when most would have thrown in the towel. when i start to worry about things i cannot control, i remember who i am dealing with. dai has never done anything in his life without purpose. a higher purpose. even though i don’t know what the reason is behind this accident, dai has his reason and it will be known in his time. we have started dai on Dr. DeFina’s protocol. the first step was weening him off any sedatives that were keeping him comotose. he has had a few episodes being off them, but they are not nearly as bad as they were. today i will be calling dr. nguyen, who continues to be a blessing, for the first new med we are starting him on. i am a bit apprehensive about starting dai on stimulating meds because he is having a slight reaction to being entirely off the other stuff, but i feel like that this is the road we are meant to take that will help dai. what is wonderful is that now he is off the sleepy shit, he is much more aware and awake. he wants to wake up and go. it’s been great getting dai up and out now that the weather is beautiful. i have an apartment next to dai now so i can kidnap him and take him to my place so we can listen to our muzak, pink floyd, iron maiden and such. no offense mom, but if dai has to listen to taylor swift one more time…
a high note for dai was having his buddies from dredg over a few weeks ago. what great guys. it has been awhile since dai had some company besides my usual meathead, mom and steph. he loved it. and they were so cool, talking right to him. some people that have seen dai don’t know quite how to react. dai was very animated and was trying to get up that night. i think it was motivating for him to be reminded of what he has to come back to. and it was an honor to meet them. thanks for coming guys, hope to see you again soon. my door is always open. love and respect.
oh yea, people, support our bands. the ipod is killing our bands. the good ones will cease to be if we don’t show some love. we will be left in a pop nation. buy cd’s, go to shows. you would miss the good music if it was gone.
much love and respect,
mae

One Love!
All donations go 100% to Chi's care. Thank you so much for your love and support. One love for Chi, Gina
and BTW….F AN IPOD BUY ALBUMS!!! IF you want MP3s, buy an album then burn it onto your PC. Buying songs a-la-carte is like buying the lower lefthand corner of a Picasso….you aren’t getting the FULL MASTERPIECE
I will never forget seeing Chi here in Kansas City in ’98. My best friends and I always talk still to this day about how it was the best live live show we’ve ever seen. My own bass player was in a terrible car accident in 2001. He was lucky enough to walk away with a broken arm and hypothermia, among some other minor injuries. He was in a medically induced coma for a few days, so I know the fear and hopeless feeling that all of Chi’s family and friends have felt. My whole heart and soul goes out to Chi and his family and friends. I hope with all of the power of my being that Chi pulls through and can at the very least hug his mom and say hello and I love you to all those who I’m sure he’s being wanting to say it to. To Chi: My thoughts are with you, my prayers I send to you, and may God give you the power to come back to us. Your fans love you and we are here for you no matter what. Peace and healing I wish to you.
made me cry..
thanks so much!
one love for chi,

To all of Chi’s Family, My heart goes out to you all, although i have yet to meet any of you, all i can say is that it pains me to see such a beautiful being brought down by a tragedy, but i know deep in Chi’s heart and soul that he has the will and support of all. I have followed Deftones for as long as i could remember and have supported them since and will always do so, the music, the message, the heart behind the band, it has touched me in so many ways and when i recall going to the shows i would get goosebumps seeing Chis energy shed through his playing, i could literally feel the emotion and pain and, joy that were emitted in each song, and i always admired the love each member shared with one another as a family should. We are all one in the same, and when i heard Chi was in an accident i cried and hurt and felt desperate but knew i had to have strength because i needed to send my love and hope and support for him. I always pray each day for the news that he has put this behind him and I know when that day comes, the world will stand behind him and cheer him on stage and off. He is a great man with a great heart and beautiful soul and I sincerely believe things will be better very soon.
All is one, and one is all. To my brother Chi, may you be blessed in love and greatness, you are the foundation of great things and i await to see you once again in your glory, may the almighty smile upon you and your loved ones as they have continued to be there for you, so will I. Blessed be. One love for all and One love for Chi. Hugs and best wishes.
We miss you brother.
beautiful words.
one love for chi,

We are in the studio tonight recording a song called “Stand Up” we dedicate it to Chi. We are all struggling to eat and keep a roof over our gear, but we needed to do something, and this is at the very least a start, when the song is complete, we would like to post a donation link of some sort to your' page, so that we can filter some people to you who are able to contribute.
In the meantime I agree with PL hearing Diamond Eyes is a very powerful and spiritual tool not to be underestimated!
Stand Up Chi! Defy the odds
I cannot imagine what you are going through Jeanne, you and your family. My son has a band, working hard for recognition, who are completely inspired by Chi and his band, I think they are an example of what happens when you work hard and are disciplined as a band. My son is younger than Chi, but you never ever stop loving, nuturing and believing in your kids, whatever their age, hey. I live in Australia where healthcare is free, and I think its unforgiveable that your government places you in the position of having to have an ebay store just to meet medical expences…makes no sense to me. But this isn't about politics, so I can only wish you peace and belief that your beloved son returns to good health; mind, body, spirit. no matter how long it takes. There is a time and season for everything! And please let Chi know there are people here in Australia pulling for him.
Kind regards, Leisa
