The following photographs were taken by Floriduh Voter on December 12, 2004. On that Sunday afternoon, family, friends, supporters and advocates of Terri Schindler-Schiavo gathered to honor her day of birth and celebrate her life. The following thumbnails will 'pop' into a new browser window. We extend our thanks to everyone who attended, to those who sent greetings and prayers and to everyone who has befriended this family in their struggle to protect their daughter's life and liberty.

Terri 41st Birthday There were two large Birthday Cakes with flower icing in purple, Terri’s favorite color. The big card I made on Sunday morning with tag board and lace matched up well with the cakes. Lots of speakers came forward. Their pictures can be right clicked to see at properties what or who it is. Former Judicial candidate Jan Govan was also there. He’s achieved celebrity status it seems since the August 31st election wherein he was a high vote getter, although sad sack figure Judge Greer is the ultimate insider. At the celebration today, Govan even signed an autograph for a young lady who will be eligible to vote in a few years. He was surrounded by well wishers throughout the afternoon. |

Give me My World To Touch by Cheryl Ford, RN.
Give me my world to touch...
To see, to breath, to smell, to hear
to live, to love, to savor, to fear
The freedom for you, is freedom for me
God shares his world so that I can see
Give me my world to touch...
To feel, to hold, to love, to mold
For me to have; for me to unfold
T'is granted by God in the garden of LIFE
For equality to those called husband and wife
Give me my world to touch...
When I was small and my world was tall
I dreamt about LIFE, and what it meant for all
I used to dream as I would sit and play
About the things I would do for others each day
The candles which glow for you and for me
The moments of freedom are for all to see
I watch the flames flicker as time passes me by
Mountains and rivers, stars high in the sky
Give me my world to touch...
Freedom moves, freedom climbs, freedom embraces
No biases, no discrimination no predjudices for all faces
Freedom is a right, my God made it mine
He created it for my LIFE, my world so divine
Give me my world to touch....
I love Cheryl's poem. Simple is best because simple is true. Let the truth come forward... let it spring out!
