Since Jeb Bush can't be bothered to say it.... |

Let me just say that my deepest condolences to all those who cared about Terri, but most especially my deepest respect goes to Michael Schiavo.
That man has stood up to a tidal wave of slander and aspersions cast upon him by the opposition and carried himself with dignity throughout without ever dropping to their level.
The easiest thing in the world would have been to wash his hands of this case and carry on with his life. Sometimes, people show us that doing that right thing isn't always easy and Mr. Schiavo is a living example of that.
I wish him nothing but happiness as he finally can close this sad chapter on his life.

and Michael remember you can STOP the autopsy photos from being given to press or her parents selling them
The Florida Legislature passed the law in March, restricting the release of autopsy photos. The measure came in response to the Orlando Sentinel's request to see photos of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, who died at the Daytona 500.

My heart goes to Michael - I'm sorry you were forced into a situation where the entire world knows these most intimate details of your life and beliefs but, being there, I add my best hopes.

would you consider posting at the msnbc.com citizen journalist page? They're taking stories from folks all over regarding end of life decision making.

I am not sure because your response was to the very last post.

of the posters. You've all expressed, eloquently I might add, words that might actually bring a smidge of comfort to Michael Shiavo.
May their pain be fleeting and the brightest memories live forever.

8. Agreed. It takes a lot to put up with what he has. |
|
He has been called abuser, greedy, conniving, murderous, inhuman, and a host of other things.
I wonder if I would be as strong as he has been?
