As she slipped into a diabetic coma, Edwarda made her mother, Kaye O’Bara, promise to not leave her side. And she didn’t for nearly 40 years.
O’Bara kept Edwarda at home in Miami Gardens, feeding her daughter through a tube, turning her over every two hours to avoid bedsores, reading to her and surrounding her with music and conversation, the Herald reported.
Her incredible dedication inspired author Dr. Wayne Dyer to write the book “A Promise Is A Promise: An Almost Unbelievable Story of a Mother’s Unconditional Love and What It Can Teach Us.”
