I have walked in Mr. Schiavo's shoes. I have changed diapers for more than half a decade on a Man of Pride. When his Wife, my Mother ( both Marines), said it was time to put him in a home I was proud of her love for my Father. I was proud of her.
I recieved a call from the Nursing Home as my " Marine Mom" and I were visiting Grand kids 300 miles away. I asked them to put the old Marine on hi flow o2, as I knew it would keep his oxegen drive going. Fifteen minutes after our arival he passed. I could have kept his body alive. Nobody that understands the word DIGNATY would let this go any farther. My Father, one of the Chosen Few, would concur. G. W. Gill
I do not think that this Terri situation should have been in the public arena. I am uncomfortalble with the legaslatuer getting involved. I blame the media.
If you disagree with me on this subject, let us both apoligise for stepping into a family's private tragedy. I would like to remind you as to who was holding the scrubby brush and the shower wand and hand washing a noble and loved human being. Was it you? Or a media affair that cought your attentention?
