[hometext] => Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away at the age of 64 on March 6, 2013.
[bodytext] => I had to make a decision that nearly destroyed me. The decision was painful and it was tragic irony. Mom gave me life and I had to make the decision that ended hers. She was one of the greatest women in the world, that's for sure. When the doctors attempted to wean her off the respirator, they had to put her back on it to keep her from dying. They saw that she couldn't be weaned after three or four times trying. I didn't make the decision alone, my brother had to make it as well. After she passed, life became so intolerable that it was pure hell. She was suffering so much and my brother and I couldn't allow that to continue. I would've rather lost my own life than to see hers end and that is certainly true. The decision to take her off the respirator was ironic and it made our hearts break. I hope and pray that the decision we made is one that you'll never have to make.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
