Terri Schiavo’s Remains Buried

The cremated remains of Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman who died after her feeding tube was removed in March, were buried Monday in a Clearwater cemetery.

The burial failed, however, to bring a close to the Schiavo saga. Instead, acrimony flared anew, with her parents complaining that they were not notified beforehand about the service.

Michael Schiavo, who said he promised his wife he would not keep her alive artificially and waged a long legal battle to remove her feeding tube, had the words “I kept my promise” inscribed on her bronze grave marker.

He kept his promise? On her grave marker? So twenty years from know someone will walk by Terri Schiavo’s grave and think, “I wonder what promise she kept?”

Having his own words inscribed on Terri’s grave marker is nothing more than another slap in the face of her parents and her friends.

What else is there to say?

Michael Schiavo must live with himself and the choices he has made for the rest of his life, for eternity.
