My mom, doctor and our family came to the heartbreaking decision to stop the medication and to try and make her last few years, months or days with us the most comfortable and happiest as possible. I know she suffered the most, yet she was so strong and her faith in the Lord was undeniably stronger than ever.
We waited for a cure.. unfortunately she couldn't wait anymore, disease took total control of her body but not her mind and her courageous spirit. She refused to give up and fought until her last days, she refused to be in bed day and night and insisted on being transferred to a couch during the day so she could watch tv and her novelas.
March 7, 2017 she took her last breath.
She rests now, no longer in pain, no longer trapped in her own body. We walk for a cure so no one has to suffer like she did. We walk so no family goes through the heartbreaking pain of losing a loved one.
