Ivy,
Life is awesome and always full of lessons to learn. I had the opportunity to meet your parents through a business transaction. You're truly blessed to have such wonderful caring parents as you have! My heart was truly touched to hear about you and see the love that your Mom and Dad have for you. I have a daughter that is 17 who commutes from Murrieta to Escondido, M-F for school, so your story was very close to my heart. I wish you the absolute best in all of your endeavors. God bless you and grant you the strength and courage for the ability to achieve your life goals.
Sincerely,
Steve Self

Dear Ivy,
You probably have read many messages wishing you a complete recovery. Well, this is another one. I have read almost all the Chapters of the book that your father has written. Your story as well as the suffering of your family is very moving. At some point at was on tears but this is not about me. I, of course wish you full recovery. You will regain your health and soon all this traumatic experience will be a thing of the past. I also want to say thanks to Sam for helping you. I read his message, his words shown his great courage and at the same time he is humble. You are very lucky that he helped you, WE all are very lucky that people like Sam are among us. You, Sam, and your family are exceptional people.
God Bless you all

In a flash, a horrible error in decision has forever changed the lives of so many- but as that Ivy’s condition improves, so many more lives are touched.

Sometimes I imagine there must be prayers with the question of “WHY?” and although I don’t claim insight to Divine Providence, I know that I try to keep Ivy and her family in mind any time I feel anger behind the wheel. God only knows how many lives have been saved via the amazing strength this family has. Thank you for your continued efforts to educate the rest of the world in how to be better people.

Although this is the first I’ve posted, I’ve followed the events throughout the course of time. I feel compelled to offer my gratitude in addition to explain just how much esteem, respect, and admiration I have for this courageous family and a very special woman, Ivy.

I doubt you remember me but you were standing right behind me at the afi show at universal ampthitheatre just a month before your horrible accident and you asked me to put your purse on the other side of the barricade so you could mosh your heart out. I talked to you at the irvine show the same weekend and a couple times on the internet too. For months after I heard about your accident I tried to get as much info as I possibly could about your condition and I was about to go visit you in early January but your Dad sent out a letter saying that you couldn't have any visitors because you were in intensive care. Over the next few months, I lost touch with alot of my DF friends and consequently I lost access to updates on your condition. Since then, I have thought about you periodically and with the hype of Decemberunderground, I have thought about you alot more and I was just listening to loveline tonight and as soon as I heard your voice I lit up and my heart started to flutter. For all I knew you were dead and hearing you on the radio made me feel so relieved and I just want you to know that even though I barely know you, I am proud of you for getting through all of this and I find your story inspirational and maybe the world will look at it and see just how incredible AFI really are. Congratulations on getting out of the hospital and please don't let this curb your amazing spirit. I'm glad you enjoyed weenie roast and hopefully I will see you at many AFI shows in the coming months.

Stay cool,
Aron

Dear Ivy,

So much time has passed since I saw you last. For that, I am truly sorry. I know there are so many stories of your recovery that I have missed. Stories that I am sure would have inspired me for years to come. I will never forget the day I found you on that stretch of highway. I drive by that point every day and say a prayer for you and your wonderful family. But no prayers I have ever said in my life matches the ones I said for you on that day. I wanted nothing more than this young girl to make it home to her family. As I held you and waited for the ambulance to arrive, I asked God to let me one day speak to you... to let you return to your life recovered from this days events. You were far to young to leave us. There were too many things you had not experienced, and too much your family had not experienced with you. We never realize how precious and short life is until these moments. After we carried you out of the canyon, I stood numb on the roadside and prayed again that you would make it to the hospital. Then went to my own daughter that a stranger so kindly watched as I was with you. I kissed nd held her as I never had before. Thanking God for His kindness for keeping her safe and healthy for the brief time she had been with us. I felt very lucky and very guilty at the same time. My Daughter sat smiling at me while someone elses daughter was now fighting for her life. I needed to do more. I left my daughter again to see if there was something else that I could do for you. I prayed again for God to help me help you. I searched the area near your car and found your cell phone, scrolled down and saw the dame "Dad". For a moment I panicked and thought that it wasn't my place to call your father to tell him such horrible news. But I had just prayed for a way to help you, and now here it was. Maybe I was the right person to make that call. If you were my daughter I would have wanted to here from someone immediately. Your father was stunned but thankful he was notified. He said he was very far away, but he would call your mother who was much closer to go to the hospital, he would be there as soon as he could. I dropped off my daughter at my mothers house and felt that couldn't leave you and your family, so I went to the hospital and waited for your mother to arrive in hopes that I may be able to help her.
I don't know that I was any help at all... I was just there.
Over the coming months I visited you and your family. What an amazing family you have. Everything seemed to come into total clarity for me as I watched the events of your life unfold. I have taken with me a few important lessons from you, things I think about all the time. Nothing is more precious than life, and nothing is more powerful than the will to live, and nothing in life is more important to a parent than their child.
As I watched your mother and father watch over you for months, never tiring of their task, learning more about the human body and recovery from injuries than they ever thought they would know, I was truly touched by their conviction. You would recover, and they would take you home. Your mother gave me a gift that I cherish to this day. Not only the gift of how I should be as a parent, and what I should give to my children, but the gift of a blanket she had knitted as she sat by your side. One that she knitted as she remembered all of your childhood, all of the wonderful memories that having you as a daughter had given her. She told me that your life had been woven into the fabric of that blanket.
I will leave in a few moments to take my daughter to daycare, and start my working day, delayed a little by this email, I will wrap my sleeping litlle angel in that blanket, strap her in her carseat, and drive the same route to my mothers daycare that I have for nearly four years, and as I pass the spot that I met you, I will, as always, say a prayer for you, a prayer for my children, and thank God for all of the prayers He answered for The life of Ivy.
Your life, and your struggle to keep it has been an inspiration to so many. Judging by this web site, you have had many people to help you through this time in your life. This too is an inspiration to me, and my faith in mankind. You gave me something in my life when it was so greatly needed... Faith. Thank you.

Sam

Hello everyone. Thank you all dearly for your kind words. It was really neat to come here and see all the comments from people I knew before that horrible day in December of 2003 as well as those from people I met while in the hospital. Sometimes it is so hard to believe that the time before my accident and the time after it are from one life...my life. But it is. Surreal, isn't it?
Anyway...I have been slowly improving. I am finding more and more things I can do on my own. I know it sounds silly to be excited that you can stand up from the car on your own, but hey, for me it is a big accomplishment. I also got some wonderful news from my kidney doctor. He said that there is a good chance I will be able to come off dialysis. Whereas my kidneys were only functioning at 14% when I first came home, they are now functionig at 26%. The coolest thing about that is that it means my lungst MUST be doing better and my lungs are my biggest problem. Hopefully they will improve to the point where I can breathe without an oxygen mask on my face. Unfortunately, I have been a bit sick lately and have been throwing up, which is not good for me at all. Today has been better, though, as far as that goes. My iron is really low again so I am always tired and I have to go to the dialysis center to get IV iron.
I have been doing as lot of beading lately and have actually made some really nice pieces. My mom and I have both really gotten into it and have a pretty nice supply of beands. We have thought of selling my work to help pay for my medical expences. I though that was a pretty good idea. Evidentally, so did a few of the people who sold beands to my mom on EBay. They said that we should auction my work and put up an "About Me" page explaining why i am selling my stuff and have a link to this site. They said they think it will help bring in more buyers. I also have been writing a lot of letters. Unfortunately, we have had some recent family tragedies, so I have been writing to the appropriate family members. If anyone is interested in writing me letters, my dad has his work address posted so you can writ to me through him. I love to recieve mail!

Wow, I can't believe it's almost been 5 mos since we've seen you guys at the hospital. Just wanted to know how happy I was to hear that you got to go home. That is so amazing and I know how much you wanted it while you were stuck "in there".

Maybe one of these days when you're feeling up to it, we can meet up.

I'm at work and supposed to be doing...something (LOL) so I'd better make this short but I just wanted you to know how happy I am for you!

I saw your picture in the paper and you look so great!

Well, I will catch you later. Feel free to email me any time,
