Michael Schiavo Named Guardian Of The Year
The husband of Terri Schiavo was honored by a group that advocates guardianship services for his yearslong efforts to get his wife’s feeding tube disconnected.Michael Schiavo, 42, was given the Guardian of the Year Award by the Florida State Guardianship Association on Friday.
Terri Schiavo lived in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years before dying in March after a protracted legal battle between her husband and her parents over her end-of-life wishes. She died from dehydration after her feeding tube was disconnected.
“As you know,” Michael Schiavo said as he accepted the award, “I’m not much of a speechmaker. I don’t talk much. But on behalf of my wife, Theresa, I thank you.”
Hat tip goes to Charlie Sykes, thanks for spoiling my breakfast appetite Charlie.
