Just before she lost consciousness, Edwarda asked her mother, Kaye O’Bara, to never leave her side, and her family never did.
Edwarda’s father, Joe O’Bara, and Kaye took care of their daughter—reading to her, playing her music, making sure she was turned every two hours, bathed, given insulin(胰岛素)and given nourishment through a feeding tube—until their deaths in 1976 and 2008, respectively.
After that, Edwarda’s sister Colleen O’Bara took over.
Her family’s unending care for her became a story told across the world.
And visitors from across the world traveled to the Miami Gardens every year, sometimes appearing at the doorstep on random days, other times for Edwarda’s yearly birthday party, a cheerful affair with decorations, balloons and cake.
Through it all, Edwarda remained in a coma.
But to her family and followers she remained alive.
Colleen O’Bara described her as“the best sister in the whole wide world”.
“She taught me so much, especially after she was in the coma, ”Colleen O’Bara said. “She taught me so much about unconditional love that I couldn’t say I had it before.
She taught me about patience that I didn’t have before.
I learned so much from taking care of my sister.
It’s like I grew up overnight. ”
