My heart was breaking. My momma's greatest fear has always been being put in a nursing home. I became a CNA in 1981 and after seeing my patients being lonely, having very rare or even no visitors, then to pass away there with no loved ones, I promised my parents they would never go into one. I vowed I would care for them at home til the end. I have been momma's caregiver, daughter, friend, confidant, comforter since soon after Poppi passed. I moved her in with me, I took her on adventures, I loved her, I provided what she needed, I tried to give her anything she desired if within my power. She gave me life, she gave me purpose, she loved me unconditionally and she has been my world. I have tried to care for her like I promised and did so til 2/3/21. Momma has been in St Anthony Hospital since then. She was transported to thier ER for desperately needed IV hydration. The expectation was she would be home in a few days.  Instead she has lived an isolated existence since being there, due to care issues in the hospital and COVID restricting any visitors. Her condition roller coasted and now her body says "all done", there is no healing or returning to life as it was. Her lungs breathed only because of a machine, her kidneys only worked when on a dialysis machine, her heart is barely pumping,  her body is sleeping deeply, her eyes no longer see, she had not eaten in weeks, she  received vital nutrients through an IV tube and now her liver has been destroyed to the point of imminent death from her heart condition. Momma made a decision 3/12/21.  Her brain was able to process questions, she was alert and got us to play 20 questions with her, so she could tell us her decision and ask us for confirmation of what she wanted. She answered strongly and emphatically by blinking or nodding. There is no doubt as to mommas wishes.
She wanted off all life support, she wanted meds to keep her comfortable and calm as she passes, she is ready to journey to the Heavens and dance in Daddy's arms again.

 This waiting will only be for a bit and then she will pass, with me by her side and never alone again. Our love and Gods strength are sustaining me through this and my heart has been strengthened by being her, taking care of her and holding her hand. 
Please help momma, as our family attempts to make her final wish come true, for her to depart for the Heavens and join our sweet poppi,  Roy E Denton Jr that left this world on 5/18/11.
Funds raised will be used to prepare her body and take it to the beach for release in the winds. To have a memorial honoring her and to rejoice in who she has been for us. A small amount will help me with living expenses until I can work again or until unemployment ever finally starts.

Any proceeds left will be used to help others in thier time of need.
Please contribute if you can and please share this account far and wide. Enable us to fulfill mommas wishes, alleviate her greatest fear and send her to daddy's arms.
