Words From Momma J… “GINA GINA GINA!”…
GINA GINA GINA! THE FIRST THING ON MY PHONE TODAY WAS YOUR TEXT THAT YOU HAD A GOOD FEELING ABOUT TODAY. ARE YOU TWO CONNECTED BY A SILVER CORD?
MATT, I HOPE THAT YOU ARE READING THIS! SOPHIE, HEIDI, DAVE, RX QUEENS, YOU HAVE BEEN FAITHFULLY WAITING FOR THIS AND HELPING TO CREATE IT! ALL OF YOU PRAYER WARRIORS MADE THIS HAPPEN.
PATRICIA, KEEP THE FAITH. WAIT ON GOD, AS HARD AS THAT IS.
GABRIEL, MY WONDERFUL GRANDSON, DON’T EVER FORGET THAT GOD MADE YOUR DAD AND GOD CAN HEAL HIM! ADRIENNE, MY ALWAYS DAUGHTER, YOU HAVE BEEN A ROCK OF SUPPORT.
YOU ALL HAVE HELD HIM UP AND HELD US TOGETHER!
HEFE LOVE, I THINK THAT YOU ARE DOING ANOTHER CONCERT TODAY. YOU ASKED ME EARLY ON WHY THE HOMEBOYS DIDN’T HAVE HIS BACK. I DID ASK AND WON’T BEG. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN’T A CONVENIENT TIME NOW (OR FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS)….
SO TO ALL OF YOU WHO SENT PRAYERS, SUPPORT AND LOVE…I DON’T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU..THIS HAS BEEN A RIDE THAT NO ONE WOULD CHOOSE. WHAT A ROLLER COASTER!
OUR AWESOME KIDS, YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YOUR BROTHER AND FOR MAE AND I. AS A PARENT, YOU SOMETIMES FEEL PRIDE AND SOMETIMES WONDER WTF? I AM SO PROUD OF YOUR UNWAVERING LOVE AND GOODNESS! TO OUR NEW EXTENDED FAMILY THAT HAVE SENT LOVE AND ARE NOT SURE OF OUR GOD, LET ME TELL YOU WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THERE ARE NO ATHIESTS IN FOXHOLES. WHEN LIFE HAPPENS IN THE WORST WAYS, I REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW YOU CAN COPE WITHOUT THE STRENGTH OF BELIEVING THAT THERE IS A BIGGER PICTURE AND WE MUST TRUST THAT OUR CREATOR LOVES US MORE THAN WE LOVE EACH OTHER. WE HAVE TO GIVE SOME THINGS UP TO GOD AND HOLD ONTO OUR FAITH IN HIS MERCY AND PROMISES. HE IS FAITHFUL ALWAYS. WE DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER ANYTHING BUT OUR OWN ACTIONS AND OUR RESPONSES TO THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS. WE ARE ALL ACCOUNTABLE. NOTHING IS UNNOTICED.ALL DECISIONS DETERMINE WHAT COMES BACK TO US. BE THOUGHTFUL IN EVERY ACTION YOU TAKE, EVERY DECISION THAT YOU MAKE. WE DON’T HAVE THE OPTION TO CHANGE WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONE. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET BEING KIND, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET DOING THE RIGHT OR GOOD THING.
I REALLY WAS HELD TOGETHER BY DOING “GOOD DEED OF THE DAY” WITH A DAILY BLOG ON THE DEFTONES SITE. WHEN I PUT A SCRIPTURE IN AND GOT EDITED, WELL IT BROKE MY HEART TO JUST STOP THAT GOOD THING. IT WAS CREATING GOOD AROUND THE WORLD AND MAKING IT A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN. BUT HEY! NO QUESTION ABOUT WHAT TO DO. CHI IS IN ICU FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE. IS IT SMART TO CUT GOD OUT OF THE PICTURE. HAIL NO. SO A BELATED APOLOGY TO EVERYONE WHO HAD BEEN FOLLOWING, BUT IF THERE IS A CHOICE TO MAKE, I CHOOSE GOD!!! EVERY TIME!!! THEN , OF COURSE, CAME GINA. TAKE THAT LEAP OF FAITH IF YOU EVER HAVE TO SPEAK UP FOR GOD (OR BE SILENT FOR GOD). HE WILL RIGHT ANY WRONGS AND YOU WILL NEVER REGRET DOING THE RIGHT THING. GINA AND I WANT TO START THE GOOD DEED OF THE DAY AGAIN. WE HOPE YOU WILL BE ON BOARD AGAIN.
I AM RAMBLING BUT THIS IS A VERY EMOTIONAL DAY AND I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH YA’LL. I LOVE YOU ALL WITH ALL MY HEART AND APPRECIATE YOU! I THANK YOU ALL FOR THE STRENGTH YOU HAVE GIVEN, THE PRAYERS THAT HAVE KEPT MY SON HERE, THE LOVE THAT YOU HAVE OFFERED. GINA WILL BE THE FIRST TO POST ANY CHANGES AND ACCURATE UPDATES. FOR THE RECORD, THIS IS STILL NOT CLASSIFIED AS HIM BEING OUT OF HIS COMA. HE IS IN AND OUT OF THE COMA STILL. PLEASE KEEP HIM AND US IN YOUR PRAYERS. IT WILL STILL BE A LONG ROAD. BUT, “NO QUIT” AND I WILL BE DOING MORE WITH GINA UNTIL YOU GET TIRED OF WHAT MY KIDS CALL “MY RAMBLING”.
SO…RESPECT TO ALL OF YA’LL, PLEASE BUCKLE EVERYONE UP, SPREAD KINDNESS, LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND WHEN THINGS ARE GOING GOOD, DON’T FORGET TO LOOK UP AND SAY “THANKS FOR THAT.”
ONE LOVE ALWAYS! JEANNE

One love for chi
Tom
yes that is momma j (jeanne) in the pic with chi…
We are here for you mom, keep your head up and we will think of you every step of the way.
Yesterday was my birthday & the Creator brought my sister home to us. She has been on a self destructive path for so long (33 yrs.). Yesterday felt like a new beginning as I could feel the change in her heart, then I got home & read Gina’s post. It turned out to be one of the best days in forever. Today would have been my brothers birthday. He passed when he was 25. I don’t feel sad today, which I usually do on May 18th. I feel alive. I feel like the angels are always on our side.
I know that we have more power over situations in life than we dare to believe. I know that our creator is always listening & knows what is best. In Chi he sees a warrior, much like himself, who is here to teach us that love doesn’t come in small packages and that love is an unending source of spirit that we take with us wherever we go. We have become greedy with it. We take it for granted. We forget that it is our purpose for being. The creator sees this and knows that there is still work for our Warrior Chi. He is not finished.We can learn so much more from him and so he has given Chi the gift of bringing us all together in this beautiful cyber community so that we can learn to hope again, so that we can learn to support one another, so that we can see the light at the end of the darkest tunnels and so that we can celebrate the love that connects us all. Sending so much love to all of you , especially the Chi family. Life is a magical. When we learn to live it with love in our hearts miracles are created. Gina, you rock it out girl! Today is a good day!
One love,
RC
P.S. Patricia. still praying for Marco. Keep the faith because, as you can see, miracles do happen all we have to do is believe.
thanks so much… i think you ALL rock too.. seriously.. this is something i could not pull off without all of you.. and your support!
patricia.. where are you??? been waiting to hear from you…
one love for chi & marco,
gina
wishing you a belated happy birthday, Dkrist. Yesterday was a GOOD day.
To answer fliesinajar: Hindsight is always 20/20. Yes, that is no doubt what he said on 4/24. My friend was there and said “he said I’m Hot” and I said ” After 5 months in a coma, he isnt going to wake up and make a comment on the weather. He had to have said “I’m NOT…”Whatever it was, he is on his way to waking up. ONELOVE!! Jeanne
And P.S. Now the doctors are thinking that what he has may be Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, also known as “SWEAT SHOCK”. So Ya, The man was feeling “HOT”and he said so. More on it later.LOVE You all! J

You are in God’s hands Jeanne, I feel in my heart God has big big plans for Dai, bigger than he could ever imagine! Gold takes time to be pure and it’s not pure till the “creator” can see His reflection in the gold. I love you and we are all praying for Dai and family!
God bless you all
Tara
Ramble on Auntie Jeannie! This was a beautiful heartfelt post. : ) I love you! xoxo
Dear Jeanne~
Chi is so very lucky to have you as his Mom! I lost mine 20 years ago and not a day goes by that I don’t miss her and think of her.
Like you, my Mom would have been there for me as you are for Chi.
I wanted you to know how much respect I have for Chi as a person and as a musician. He has indeed inspired me and continues to do so every day.
I wanted you to know that I pray for him each and every day without fail and have a strong faith that he will recover no matter what the trials along the way.
I can’t tell you how many times I have asked myself “why this man”? It is not for us to know, but I believe in Chi and his unbreakable spirit.
I’ve followed his progress since day 1 and will continue to until he comes home.
I wish with all my heart that he continues to improve and that any further setbacks are minor ones.
My love to you, Chi and the family. Please know that even though we are strangers, I hold all of you close to my heart and send all the positive energy that I possess.
Blessings to my sweet Chi and his beautiful family.
With love and respect,
Judy
Dear Jeanne, it’s so nice to see you so happy and full of life! So much has happened in these 6 months, it’s incredible how far Dai has come.. Please tell him from all of us that we are there with him, and we’ll wait for him as long as it takes.
Does anybody know any more about how Marco is doing now?
i have been trying to find out about marco too.. i am going to email her again now…
one love for chi,
gina

God is watching one of his children making him strong, as well as his family and extended family.
Its going to be a great day when Chi wakes up, one that i will remember forever.
Momma J,
You’re darn right I am reading this! This was such a blessing to read yesterday, and I could not be happier for you and the family…and EVERYONE who has been involved with prayers and thoughts and everything. What an awesome feeling it must have been for Mae to have this happen with her. I fell asleep yesterday after a day mission and have been asleep for 12 hrs, (rare for me over here), and when I woke I see all these new posts on here, great to wake up to! Chi is definately on his way to making more strides in the right direction, and all of us will never stop praying and sending the love to Chi and your family until he is back with us 110% again, no matter how long it takes! I also got to add, I am pretty diappointed with “his homeboys” saying it is not very convenient to help out. I mean, WTF, you think Chi finds it convenient that he has been fighting for his life for the last 6 months? That’s some weak stuff right there, not impressed. But we got Chi’s back and so do so many people around the world. Much love and respect Momma J,
NO QUIT CHI!!!
Matt in Iraq
thanks matt! we know that you all have his back. MUCH RESPECT TO THE 214 AND THE 512. STAY SAFE! AND SINCE YA’LL ARE PRAYING LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO TWO OF MY HEROS. pls ck the “praying for sam.com” site .Sam was the last roommate that Chi had and he and his awesome wife, Erin, are two of the finest examples of faith in action that I’ve ever seen. Sgt Sam Nichols came home more than a little beat up. But his family refused to listen to the doctors. Erin wouldn’t let Sam go and Sam refused to leave Erin. They beat the odds through the power of prayer, the faith in God’s promises and their love for each other. Really an inspiring couple and what a joy to watch them every day. WE MISS YOU GUYS!!
ONELOVE ALL AROUND. JEANNE
my prayers continue for chi keep your head up high friends
I met Chi one time in Boston, I asked (as he sat next to Chino) WHY?? He didn’t do more backing vocals on any of the records (except of course “Needles and Pins” off DEFTONES) and he looked right at me as he stuck out his thumb to the left and moved his arm back and forth at Chino and said, “Cause He’s an Asshole..”
I laughed about that for 3 weeks – CHI WILL make it through this.. I will to continue to pray for him.
He is a kind soul and we don’t have enough kind souls in this world..
