| Thank God |
As you may or may not know, there is a situation here in the Philadelphia area very similar to the Terry Schiavo situation. 72 year old John King Jr. of Doylestown is in a situation where his wife wants a feeding tube inserted into him and his daughter says that's not what he wanted.
Fortunately, Mr. King had the foresight to get a living will. When his wife took the matter to court, Judge David Heckler enforced the living will and ordered that no feeding tube be inserted.
This ruling is good on many levels. I can sleep better at night knowing that because I have a living will, MY wishes will be carried out... not my family's, not the general public's, and sure as hell not the government's. It's also good for the doctors knowing that the courts will back them up when they do what was instructed by the patient under their care. |

If nothing else, David, You make me laugh. As for the 15 years you have been devoted to kids. You have both been distracted raising your boys. So, it will take time to get together again. But, don't loose the contact. Some couples don't stay in contact and don't have anything after the kids are grown. Don't worry about it, it will all come together.

I'm happily married to my high-school sweetheart and have two sons. I love relaxing down the Jersey Shore. I also enjoy sitting by the pool after dinner, talking to the wife, watching the kids, and smoking a cigar.
