That was a good post and I happen to agree that the entire gravestone is a bit tacky in some ways.
I don't like the "I" any better than you do.
In a different circumstance it might have been nice the way the dates were worded.
If he had been a loving devoted husband, the way that was phrased would have been very affectionate.
I'm not a Michael Schiavo cheerleader at all. The man is a jerk.
My point was that you guys had a massive, group hissy fit with just about every poster saying they were crying because he was going to bury her in Pennslyvania instead of near her parents.
Now that he has, there is NO acknowledgment that this is what the parents wanted.
That's hypocritical in my opinion. It shows a tenacity of hate that has made many lose all perspective and rationality.
So, and I ask this with all due respect : does this mean that because he gave in to their demand (finally!) that the rest of us are supposed to go "okay! He loved her after all...we'll forget everything that happened before?"
Its not an apology if he is stabbing you while mincing the words through his teeth...which is exactly what that tombstone represents.
