engagement ring than anything else.
    “It’s okay Carmen. Please don’t cry. I’ll buy you a new one with the insurance money.” Dexter assured her.
    “I don’t want another one; I want mine. Why won’t she leave us alone? What did we ever do to deserve this? I don’t understand!” she cried.
    Suddenly Dexter’s cell phone rang; it was Aunt Ruth.
    “Dexter, you need to get to the hospital right away; there’s been an accident, it’s your mother.” Ruth told him.
    “Is she okay? How bad is she?” he asked nervously.
    “We don’t know yet. They haven’t told us anything; just come as quickly as you can Dexter.”
    “I’m on my way.”
    He hadn’t expected the call from Aunt Ruth at all. His mother had to be okay. He loved her so.
    “What’s wrong Dexter? Who was that
    on the phone?”
    “My mom’s been in a car accident. I have to get to the hospital.”
    “I’ll come with you.” Carmen told him.
    The house instantly lost priority with the news of Dexter’s mom. They rushed out the door without hesitation. Upon their arrival they went straight to ER. Aunt Ruth met them. He knew by the sad look on her face and the many tears flowing from her eyes, the news couldn’t be good. He braced himself.
    “How is she; how’s mom? Is she okay?” Dexter asked, desperate to learn the extent of her condition.
    “The doctor spoke with us moments ago; her prognosis isn’t good. She’s on life support. There’s no chance of recovery, her brain waves are absent. You have to make a decision.” She informed him sadly.
    Dexter hit his knees; he couldn’t believe it. Not his mom; not this way. His heart was breaking in two as he tried to imagine the rest of his life without her. He loved her so. She was the one person in his life he could always depend on no matter what. She couldn’t leave him, what would he do without her? Carmen embraced him as she wanted desperately to ease his pain. She felt horribly for him. She knew too well how much Dexter’s mom meant to him.
    “How did this happen?” Dexter questioned as he scrambled to make sense of it.
    “We’re not sure. She was traveling the mountain when she lost control, or we assume she lost control. Strangely enough there are no skid marks at the accident site. It’s as if she meant to drive over the guard rail.” Ruth explained.
    “I want to see her.” Dexter said.
    The nurse led him to her room. The sight of her condition saddened him so. She was so helpless; not a sign of life in her. Her body had suffered insurmountable injury. He knew right away what he must do. He approached her bedside, taking her hand firmly.
    “Oh mom, I’m so sorry. I love you and I’ll miss you so much. I don’t know how to let you go. You’ve always been there for me and now it’s my turn to do something for you. I’ll never forget you; I’ll always carry you in my heart. Rest in peace sweet angel, I love you.” He said as he hugged her for the last time, baptizing her with tears. His pain was unbearable. This was the woman who had given him life and sacrificed much of her own to take care of him and now she was gone. He wiped the tears from his eyes and went to find the doctor.
    “Are you sure she won’t recover?” he asked.
    “She has no sign of life; her brain is dead. There’s no chance of recovery.” The doctor confirmed.
    “She deserves peace and that’s what she’ll have. Unplug the machines and let her go.”
    This was  the  hardest  decision  Dexter
    had ever faced. He selfishly wanted to hang on to his mom but knew it wasn’t best for her. She’d done so much for him; he couldn’t ask her to sacrifice her quality of life just to lessen his pain. If it was God’s will for her to live, it wouldn’t matter when they unplugged the machines, she would live.
    There was time for Ada’s family to bid her a final farewell. They surrounded her bedside with love as her monitor flat-lined. Sadly she was gone. They became extremely emotional at
