I am just sick over Terri Schiavo once again. After reading that beautiful story about Susan Torres and her family yesterday, I had a real sense of peace. While listening to the Neil Boortz show this morning, I am blown away at how Governor Jeb Bush will not let this go. I am afraid he has crossed the line with me now for good. Me and my big mouth (fingers) sent him this letter this morning and I hope and pray that millions of others will tell him the same thing (email Jeb Bush at jeb.bush@myflorida.com):
Governor Bush,
I am not a FL resident, but I am a lifelong Bush family supporter from Texas. I know you are receiving gobs of mail regarding this, but I must put my plea in as well.
PLEASE leave the Terri Schiavo case alone once and for all. This family has had enough trauma in their lives, you are extending the pain for her family, as well as for the whole nation. And, in all honesty, I believe that you are doing a disservice to your image and that of your family, and to the image of the Republican Party by continuing this.
Sincerely,
C. C. Jones

What a sad story this is. But a beautiful story as well. A dramatic counter to Terri Schiavo’s story. I hope this baby makes it, and I sure do wish I was in a position to help them.
I love this [quoted from story linked above]:
“His mother, Karen — “she’s way, way Catholic” — has told him “when the innocent suffer, great good is let loose in the world, and souls who wouldn’t otherwise have gotten in reach heaven.” That’s great, Torres says, but these days, his faith requires something more tangible. “I’m like, ‘OK, but can I get a list of those souls, in writing?’ ”
That is a beautiful interpretation of why the innocent suffer so much sometimes.
Well, we are home from Knoxville–another exciting road trip! We are kidless for the rest of the month, so I hope I can get some work done around here. I might just sleep the month away though…I do love my naps when the kiddies are gone!
Mom asked me a question today, one that I have lots of thoughts about, but here are some beginning thoughts:
Meant to ask you — What did you and Marshall think of the Michael Jackson verdict?
My reply:
Well…..we have lots of thoughts about it. You know most of them.
I was surprised they found him not guilty on ALL of the charges—sort of. If OJ and Robert Blake are innocent, so is MJ
I am glad he didn’t go to jail over this one—I truly think this family was scam artists from way back. That is not to say that I do not think MJ is a pedophile. I wouldn’t let my kid spend the night with him, or any other 40-something year old man, and I think MUCH blame goes to those parents who would.
I think MJ would die quickly in prison, I am glad he isn’t there.
Marshall and I have been joking about this one—you know Marshall thinks he is guilty as sin, but if the truth be told, I don’t think Marshall would like to see him in prison either. Go figure J You know Marshall says “That is the price of admission to Neverland. If you just want to ride rides, go pay the $50 at Disney!”
And we’re not psycho Jackson fans either—as you know
Love,
C.
