Almost every one of us will have to deal with the agonizing life and death decisions that Michael Schiavo has had to confront for the past fifteen years. I want to say that with his wife's passing this morning, he can now move on with his life. But he did what most of us do when confronted with these decisions a long time ago.
We mourn, we move on. Not to sound trite, but it's the circle of life. Life is for the living. We mourn the passing of our loved ones who always leave us too early; we celebrate their lives, and keep their memories alive.
The saddest thing about this whole affair is that the events of the last few weeks will forever taint the happy memories of Terri Schiavo for everyone that loved her.
For that alone, the Randall Terry's of the world should burn in hell.
Rest in peace, Terri. Live in peace, Michael.
