No one knows me better than my husband did!  I would always want Sam to be the one to choose for me should I not have a voice.  I love(d) my mother dearly, but clearly, she did not know me on the same plane as Sam. That is why I believe that Terri Schiavo’s husband Michael should have been the decision-maker for her care and her life.  Those decisions should have been with him and him alone.  The sanctity of Marriage HAS TO rise above everything else.  The bond between two people is not an artificial one. That bond is like that of substance and form. Each becomes the other, and together they make one. Marriage should be regarded as the most important relationship that can exist between one human being and another. It should enter into and control our every purpose and the conduct of our whole life.

G-d Bless Teresa Marie and G-d Bless Michael. 

I just cannot stand to see what the government of this United States, the religious sectors and the Press are doing to this poor, pathetic woman.  Should even the most minute miracle happen and her brain were somehow “reactivated”, Terri would absolutely “drop dead” just to see how mutilated her body had become and how horribly her family has behaved by keeping her here against her will.  I pray that without the “forced feeding” of her pathetic little body, she will gain the courage to finally let go and be free. 

The weatherman predicts that by Saturday, not even a week since Spring sprung, that we here in beautiful, sunny Florida will have a high of 87'!!! Just thought you would like to know : )

the sun's comin' down on me.

The Notebook!  It is the ultimate love story of all time!  I will say no more.

i have an ugly voice in my head.  it is critical and mean.  only to tracy...otherwise there is not a mean bone in me.  sometimes that voice is so cruel and mean that i know i should just lay down and die.  the stronger parts of me try to tell that voice to shut up and go away. 

sissy tells me "you cannot unring the bell".  i agree with her wholeheartedly.  bad thing is, the voice does not always agree.  i think the stronger part of me has it's own defense system to override the voice occasionally.  in my dreams!  there have been a few very difficult issues in my life that i couldn't come to terms with.  the voice wouldn't shut up....but in my dreams, the angels come and take away the pain. the angels sort out and solve and release! 

i love my angels.  they set me free from the bondage of my pain.  and i love my sister for "yelling" at me.  i love my boss for supporting me and guiding me...he has filled a spot that was sam's.  and i love my family for putting me on the top of the list of priorities to get my life back on track and on toward a more meaningful life.

thanks for all of you, too, for the love and the understanding and recognizing that sometimes even a mimi's heart hurts.
