Two years ago, my mother, who had a written, living will was allowed to pass without a ventilator {as she had specifically requested in her WRITTEN living will. There was no dispute as to her wishes, but it was the hardest decision that I've ever made. Terri Schiavo is being killed by starvation, sanctioned by the state and promoted by her mistake called a husband. I am as much a husband to Terri as is michael. I live with another woman, have two children to her but I also want to respect Terri's wishes {if I knew what they were}. Everything that can be said about this event that can be said, has been said. On Easter Sunday, pray for Terri's family. God will administer justice to michael.

How terribly sad. I hope you have piece of mind that it was what she wanted. I think there's no way to avoid that feeling, and that is why I don't want my family to have to follow my directives because at the time it may be too difficult for them. I picture my youngest son Jacob standing at my bedside, and if that happened tomorrow he would not be able to handle it. I can picture him holding my hand and finding some comfort in that.. and if that's all I have left to give.. let me give it. Life is so short. It's not about me anymore.

If they can't stand to see me lay there and it would make them feel better to let me go.. then let me go. I will live as long as they need me or God allows.

You know a girl at work made an interesting point that I have to give some credit to. She said, when you marry someone you have to realize that you are putting your life in that person's hands. Make a wise choice."
