Rest in Peace, Terri

This one time, I’m going to break my rule about limiting my blog to one post per day. First of all, may Terri Schiavo rest in peace. I am glad she is out of her misery and in Heaven. I pray that somehow there will be reconciliation in her family, although I know that’s a lot to ask. Rev. Jesse Jackson, although I didn’t agree with him on this one issue, said all things are possible with God, and I believe that too.

Again, if I end up in a condition like Terri’s, where there is no hope for my recovery, please don’t keep me alive by extraordinary means. I think I would prefer to be cremated, but I’m not going to insist on it. Since I just started going to the Sixth Presbyterian Church, and I haven’t met a lot of people there, if something happened to me in the near future, I am sure Rev. Meek would be asked to speak at my funeral at Bekavac’s. Rev. Meek is a dear, sweet man, and he did ask around about my dad and try to give a talk which represented the truth about my dad. But Rev. Meek doesn’t know too much about me, so a good thing to do would be to print out my blog and have it available for people to look at at the funeral home. I don’t want someone portraying me as some conservative religious person. I’m religious, but I’m very liberal politically. I hope some of my funds would be used to take care of and find homes for my pets. I also would hope someone would speak to the neighbors at my feral cat colony or to the Homeless Cat Management Team in Pittsburgh so that my feral cats would be fed and given water. They should be able to find plenty of shelter in the abandoned homes in the neighborhood. There are six of them in particular who depend on me.

Thank you, and thank you to Terri, for prompting me to make my final wishes known. Rest in peace, Terri, and enjoy your eternal life in Heaven. You are safe and at peace now.
