a wierd analogy....
Why is the neighbors lawn so much greener than ours???
It's only March.
Our irrigation hasn't even been turned on, yet, the next door neighbors lawn is deep green, ours is brown with patches of light green.
What's up with that?
Did they use a better, hybrid grass seed that is more suitable for our arid climate????
Or, are they watering from their well?????
I've not seen any water going on the lawn.....
Hmmmm........
Maybe it started off in better condition last fall than ours did, afterall, I'm not sure we laid a late fertilizer, that's gotta be it.
Their grass had more nutrients on it to last the long winter cold and drought.
Makes sense in life, too, doesn't it????
If you know that you will experience a season of drought, pain, loss, wandering....then it just makes sense to "ammend the soil," to store up, to be prayed up, to gather strength, right???
I wonder if that is what is happening to Terri Shaivo and her family......
Afterall, Terri seems "greener" than she should be.
She has a strength of will which has defied logic and, I think that should be looked at as her testimony.
She's not brown with patches of green, like my lawn, she is perfectly green.
She is living.....even without water and food.
I wish that Terri could see the Spring and experience it's time of renewal, it's beauty, but I believe it's unlikely.
Too bad....I think she had gathered her strength for one last stand....
To live.

I am so saddend that this has become such a battle between her parents and husband.
I would be furious with my parents AND my husband if they were to do this to each other.
Even now, they are at odds over where her cremated remains are to be buried. Her husband wants her laid to rest near where she grew up. Her parents want her buried locally where they can visit her grave and pay respects whenever they need. The courts have given this decision to her husband.
I wish he would grant her parents that. It would be a gift to them. I know they are long past giving gifts of any kind, even courtesy, but he could rise above this and do that for them. Choosing where to be buried is what is done for the living, those that grieve and need a place to go, not for the dead.
I'm just glad she is finally at rest.
Rest in peace, Terri.
