Terri is free, though the turmoil lives on. The short life of this poor girl, which was ended by complications of bulemia 15 years ago, was so ordinary, and yet her dying and death have garnered attention that even Hollywood stars don't get. Somehow I don't think that's what she envisioned to grow up to be when she was little -- a woman in a vegetative state who would be the subject of numerous law suits and an infamous act of Congress.
And Pope John Paul is near death, too, according to reports, after serving his church so faithfully for so long. I remember when he was elected, and what a surprise that was to many. I wish for him more peace than was accorded Terri.
And to both, I wish traveling mercies.
