I was traveling through the heartland of America this last week,
I was struck at the feeling of having stepped back into time, as I drove.

Driving out of Lafayette, Ind. I passed this barn, it really hit me visually that just as the downtown areas of these small towns have died, so have the section, 180 acre american farms.

Boswell, Ind.
What more can be said…

Downtown Boswell, Ind. The post office and VFW are the only places open for business in this downtown area.
The thing I kept thinking as I drove was that places like Wal-Mart have changed the fabric of our country, we want more for less, and quality and personal service are forgotten concepts.
And yes, I do remember driving into gas stations where your fuel was pumped for you, and the oil was checked at no charge!
We just dont see sunrises like this in Fl.

Cat in a what?

Michael Schaivo is a widower who remarried.

His life was consumed for 15 years with the tragedy of Terri Schiavo.
She had suffered irreversible brain damage after collapsing at age 26 in 1990.
She was not going to get better. Not ever, that is NEVER Terri was neither comatose, nor brain dead. She was in a vegetative state because her higher brain centers had been destroyed and replaced by fluid. This is called PVS.

Michael Schiavo has suffered enough character assassins for 100 lifetimes, and thousands of people.

Terri’s parents have portrayed Michael,as a abuser, even possibly a attempted murderer, etc.

Terri’s parents have claimed amongst dozens of other unfounded claims,that Michael Schaivo was only concerned with benefiting financially from Terri’s death, although it must be noted that there is little money left from a malpractice settlement, he has repeatedly turned down offers of large amounts of money to walk away, and unlike the Schindlers, he has not signed any book or TV deals.

The TSF (Terri Schiavo Foundation,which by the way is a for profit foundation)
also acknowledges that Schiavo offered to donate whatever money he stood to inherit to charity if Terri’s parents would stop trying interfere with his right to make medical decisions on behalf of his wife.
Yeah a really evil guy

Michael Schiavo, has been dragged thru hell, and back several dozen times.
When is enough, enough?
What is wrong with Michael Schiavo having some joy?
I have heard for years about the evil Michael Schiavo,but you know he was in a damned if you do, and damned if you don’t position. I think whatever he had done, he would have been publicly crucified. Terri’s parents wanted to change a reality they could not accept.I personally understand that,it is very hard to let go.

I wish God’s blessing on Michael Schiavo, and his bride Jodi Centonze , and their children.
Michael Schiavo deserves to find peace and joy.I wish them well.

Now for all of you self righteous hypocrites, religious conservative right-to-life campaigners, give the family some peace.

Today is my daughters birthday, she would be 23 today.
So I wrote this poem for her.

The Eagles Danced

We rode up the mountain and laughed in delight as
The Eagles soared over and danced just for us.
A dozen eagles that spiraled above the daughter I love.

With the ponies to the peak of the mountain we went.
Awestruck once again seeing the beauty, the glory,
Of this favored land.

The sun so brilliant, the sky was so blue.
I never had dreamed it was to be a farewell for you.
And who would have guessed, as we happily watched.
That this was to be,the very last eagles dance.

The white feathers were glistening brilliantly,
Like the snow on the distant mountain peaks.
Coming down off the mountain we rode by the lake,
Long shadows on the water, the chill as the
Darkness fell.

I listen for your laughter, sometimes on the wind,
I remember with longing the last day that we shared.
When God let the eagles come dancing on air.
