FR Birthday Card: Greetings, Prayers for Terri Schindler-Schiavo

the hearts and minds of freepers | 11/30/03 | various freepers

[cyn]

The intention of this thread is to gather the greetings, prayers, and well-wishes of all who share a concern and love for Terri Schindler-Schiavo. These can then be printed out to be given to Terri’s family. So many have posted here about Terri over the last several years! Please come back for a moment to ‘sign a card’ that will be given to Terri on her birthday Dec. 3 at the hospice in Pinellas Park. Leave a prayer or greeting if you’d like.

Thanks to all who have been concerned for Terri and have been motivated to act on her behalf regardless of their own limitations, sicknesses or problems. It has been awesome to know what some did or are doing while dealing with their own challenges. This is not limited to Free Republic -- at least one law firm a few years back closed to other business for a period of time to dedicate themselves to Terri’s situation, apparently pro-bono.

Looking into the dusty Free Republic archives reveals much about how you have affected others.

Dearest Terri,

One day my husband called me at work and wanted me to log onto Glynn Beck's website and read about this young lady in Florida. As I read your story I felt a calling to ban together with the many others whom have joined the battle to make you well. You and your Mother and Father as well as the rest of your loving family have been in every prayer from my family home. May God continue to hold you tight in his arms and rein his strength upon your family. May this Birthday bring you the best present of all, may this be the one that releases you from the prison that you have been in within the confines of your own body. May God give you the strength to speak to your Mommy for the whole world to hear. I hope this Birthday brings you everything that you ever wanted sweet Terri, and know that we hold you dear to our hearts. I only wish we were there to celebrate with you and give you a great big hug. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETY!!!!

Love Lisa, Mark, Nikki and Mark Jr. (Texas)

The Good Lord presented you Terri with life on this day.
May Angels surround and protect you. Make it stay that way.

This gift of your life has given many new friends a “meaning”.
Also a cause for your friends is a celebration of your very being.

So, have Faith and just IGNORE the storm surrounding you.
Your many friends and Angels will see you through!

Dearest Terri,

Happy Birthday Sweetie! Sure wish I could be there for your big day. I think of you many times every single day.

Someday I know we will meet and I plan on giving you a great big hug. Girl, you have changed my life. There are no words to tell you how much your very life is precious to so many people. God IS watching over you. He has used you to touch so many hearts and bond so many lives. You have an army of folks who cherish you dear one.

My little doggy Bandit wanted me to tell you he's looking forward to seeing you soon too.

Your Sister in Christ,

Terri (From Indiana)

Please check the end of this thread re: more possible new names for the Balloon b-day card, Thanks, msmagoo.

Terri, I'm proud to share a birthday with you today. I spread your story to all I can. Keep the faith, my dear. Millions care about you and the effort to save you will not fail.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful, thoughtful greetings and prayers for Terri! And kitty & other pictures! What a special gift for Terri & her family. It is so encouraging for me to read through all these (try it!) & I know will be for them!

ANOTHER LIFE-AFFIRMING GIFT FOR TERRI -- Senate Bill 692 prohibits courts from ordering feeding tubes removed from any mentally incometent patient in Florida who does not have a living will or other written advance directive stating otherwise. Sen. Jim King opposes this (some concern about his legacy?); please email him & Senator Wise, who worked on this.

[LauraJean]

God bless and keep you Terri dear. My prayer is you will be with home with your parents very soon.

Terri,

Happy Birthday, and may God continue to give you, and your loving family, strength.

Love and prayers.
