Terri Is Gone
I have not read a blog or been able to post for almost a week now since I have been on vacation with my family, but have been following Terri’s story on the Florida local news and in the papers at night. I just saw that Terri has passed away without her family present. I was able to get internet access for long enough to post this (in the hotel lobby), but it will have to be brief. I find it almost impossible to believe that with the support of both Republicans and Democrats, with worldwide media attention and with access to both state and federal court systems, Terri’s family was not able to save their daughter. They were not allowed to give her food or water. They were not able to be with her when she died. I will post more thoughts on the entire ordeal when I am back home. I am still not quite able to process everything yet. It is almost too much to comprehend.
