A Story of Unconditional Love
I was listening over the weekend to some old tapes from a Teacher of mine (Dr Wayne Dyer) and came across this incredible, heroic saga of a mother who took care of her comatose daughter for 42 years. I decided to research and found this......Edwarda O'Bara was a popular 16-year-old when she fell into a diabetic coma after a bout with pneumonia in 1970
The ever doting, loving, heroic Mother, Kaye O'Bara, who IMO deserves some kind of "Lady / Mother of the decade award"
"For more than 35 years, Kaye O'Bara remained constantly by Edwarda's bedside, enduring a grueling schedule to give her daughter around the clock care.
She would only sleep for 90 minutes at a time, so she would always be accessible to her daughter.
The devoted mother would not institutionalize Edwarda, even though the financial burden became a great challenge to the family."
Would you do the same for your child?

I cannot confidently, without hesitation say a yes to your question.....
I think I would coz I love my kids but knowing myself, it would not be done without complaints or even resentment at times...
I have to admit I'm far from it. I'm not your usual loving and doting Mom. I'm actually quite mean to them at times (under the pretext of toughening them
We were in Macau and during the summer break, my mom came over and brought them back with her for a month. During the whole month, I didn't give them a single call and I didn't even miss them...My mom once asked me, "Are you sure you're not the ibu tiri (stepmom) ??
I don't know, I know I'm gonna get a lot of backlashes for stating what I stated but that's what I'm really feeling....and to be honest, I'm not proud of it, every single bit....
Until I'm faced with the real situation, I cannot tell if I'd be able to do it wholeheartedly.
Good on you Jared.. bet your boy loves his dad very much. You will be his hero I am sure.
For instance.....
Dr WD, after he learned about them, became very close & assisted them financially.
He was inspired to write a book, the proceeds of which he donated entirely to the family...
Edwarda although in her comatose state, inspired many other ill & sick people to health...She became a healer..
Kaye had many visions of the Blessed Mother & even several visitations...which she played down...as she didn't want to attract attention.
Ekself I thought I was crazy, heartless or mean by feeling what I'm feeling. Now, I know I'm not alone....here on CS
