Who Gives Kudos:


Sunday, October 12, 2008 

Category: Life
I want to give my deepest thanks to everyone who has helped deal with the current situation. First and foremost, Chris and Che were my friends. I would give up anything to have them here with us today, healthy and happy. To call them my employees does them such a disservice, as they were so much more than that. Chris was my best friend before anything else, and I can never put into words how much he will be missed. Che was an amazing person as well, and I was honored to have him in my life.

I am simply amazed and will be forever grateful for all the support everyone has shown to Chris and Che's families. Its a testament to how many lives they touched in a positive way.

Hospital Life!

Like the doctors said from the beginning, its been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday. Today I finally was able to move all my fingers on my right hand. Every step seems huge at this point, and Im doing EVERYTHING I can possibly do to get back to my kids. Yes, I did start eating meat again, but if it helps me to be home holding my little humans sooner, then its all worth it. The staff here are all bomb! Dr. Grossman and his staff are the best. The BOSS Barbara, and nurses Betty, Jay , Emily, Julio, Lolita, and Stephanie (with the best scrubs ever!) are all taking the best care of me.

My good friend Armen has been kind enough to save me from the hospital food, and brings Jamba Juice, Wahoos, or whatever else I need to keep my calories and protein levels high.

Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, Ive been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and in Georgia. The hospitals Ive been treated at are THE BEST.

My friends and family have been amazing. My pops has been with me ANY time I need him. My sisters, James, Skinhead Rob, Daniel, Hoover, Armen and of course Ricardo and Nicole, have all shown amazing support. JD and Mark Hoppus both took the time to come visit and offer their support as well. Estevan Oriol even came in with a calendar.

Saying "thank you" to all these guys just wouldn't be enough...

I got to see AM the other day. Seeing him after he was discharged was an inspiration. I saw just how awesome the doctors' work here is, and got to see how well he is doing. I am so happy to see him doing well, and we are both so lucky and grateful that we are alive today.

Im even using some of this time to help design the summer '09 Famous line. Maxx, Jose, Bill have been awesome helping to keep the machine going. These are some seriously dedicated people, and Im lucky to call them friends.

Now Im just counting the days until I can leave. I cant wait to get home to play drums with my son, and go for bike rides with my daughter. I cant wait to see the pictures from Landon's "Jack and Sally Nightmare Before Christmas" birthday party that we had for him today. I am bummed that I couldn't be there, but thank God Ill be around to see many, many more.

Thank you everyone for your support!

I am so very happy that you are doing better. It's very sad about Lil Chris and Che. I didn't know them but I do know that their loved ones will miss them very much.
Your kids will see that they have a strong daddy that loves them and is a fighter!

Thank you for the update. It brought tears to my eyes. You definitely have angels looking after you both here on earth and up above. Your situation and strength have really humbled me in my own struggles. I truly am sorry for the loss of your dear friends. Life just isn't fair at times. I'm often thinking of you and your families.
Stay strong Travis!

most of your fans have been with you from the beginning. we've watched you bloom into one of the most bad ass drummers out there with visions and creativity far beyond anything we could have imagined. we've watched your shows, we've supported your music, we wear your clothes, but we never thought we would be writing letters to you of courage when two people you held dear in your life have passed, as well as you going through what you're going through during your surgeries. we sympathize for your families, the families of your friends, your children, etc.
from a personal point, i want to you thank you for what you've given the world through this time. in a time where things are hectic, the world is crazy, and the economy is shit, you're sitting in that hospital bed being as real as you can possibly be fighting for everything you love, and for that we are greatful. you don't forget about the people who are there for you, even the people you've never met, and you are one hell of a guy for enduring what your enduring. to want to get out of that hospital bed for your children should teach us all something. you're as real as they come and we respect you for that 100%. you're fucking awesome and don't forget through all of this.
i'm sure i speak for everyone, and i'm sure it's somethng you've heard a thousand times over, but we wish you the greatest get well. we can't wait until travis barker comes out of this as bad as he's ever been with "real support" and "real love" behind him. we're your fans until the end, no matter how many people try to bullshit you.
get well soon.
