Well I am a mom trying to survive losing my son to an overdose in June 2025. He is the young man in the picture with me. I’m lost.
We would like to thank you for supporting Carol Terry in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.
Everything was rewarding being his mom. He made light in my life. He was honestly the sweetest child. His smile would light up any room. I feel that being his mom was the only real thing I did that was 100% pure and right.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Never ever take for granted the time you have with your child. No matter how old they get or the circumstances that push you apart always make sure they know you love them.
What would you do with $20,000?I would buy a nicer display for his urn and photos. I would also take a bit of his ashes and spread them at our favorite place we went every year together. He would want me to do that but I can’t afford to go. I would also donate some to a center to help addiction.
