...from Todd himself:
Friends, neighbors, family, lend me your cheers. The time has come to celebrate life, the evil that men is oft interred with their bones, so let it be with Todd.
This party is a celebration of the fact that I am still here to raise a glass, but really it is about us all raising a glass to all of the friends, family, and strangers who have opened up their hearts and frankly without whom, I very likely would not be here. So please come join us to celebrate:

Hi Todd - we are all truly delighted that you are recovering and doing well. Please fill a glass for your Irish friends and you have our full permission to drink it on our behalf! We wish we could be there but most of all we send you our very best wishes for a continued recovery.

Todd, I was one of the early arrivers to the scene. My friend retrieved your wallet (from your pocket) to provide info to emergency services and encouraged you to remain still. We have followed your recovery and the case are thrilled to learn of your continuing improvement and the recent arrest of the driver. Your strength and spirit are truly inspirational! Unfortunately, we will be on vacation at the time of the party and so will miss being able to wish you well in person. All our best!
