I am happy to report that my son is doing GREAT!!!! I am so proud of him and so excited to be in a place of happiness as he has been through so much.
I am Mrs Alabama Int'l 2009 and very excited. I understand the thoughts that are out there about me competing but as I walked last week with great friends, my husband and my furry family, I was once again reminded of the beautiful people I met through pageantry.
My story is not one that I lived alone. There are many that go through this daily yet move on. People ask me how I do it. It is my SON, Carter, (my biggest hero)MY HUSBAND AND HIS REMARKABLE SERVICE, Tiffany Berg and her husband, Laine Berry and her family, Cay Stout, Ryan and your beautiful daughter, my sister and my parents, AJ and your heart and Lori...your soul, CJ...my point is I am so not alone in my story and my life. When I lost my parents, I picked up the phone everyday hoping my Mom would answer. I am soooo blessed to those who answer the call.
If you let the world tear you down, it will because it doesn't get better until you make those strides. YOU ARE BETTER if you fill the shoes you walk in, not judge them.

CONGRATULATIONS Mrs. Alabama! I am so happy that you are continuing to go after your dreams. You inspire me to always remember my own and persevere until I reach it. I will keep my fingers crossed that you realize your dream and become Mrs. International. I just might be in the audience to see it happen because I know it is in your future.
Ignore the negativity...it is just insecurity. What was it they taught last year.."You Don't Know My Life" ?
My "baby" is 20 today and one thing I learned along the way is that your life doesn't stop because you have children. You have to keep dreaming, keep striving, keep working and show your children that nothing is impossible if you work for it. Be that example for them.
You are gonna rock!
Go show 'em what the "Beautiful" in "Alabama the Beautiful" really means!
Proudly supporting you!
Joy in ALABAMA
What better way to enlighten and educate people about the March of Dimes and all they do by winning Mrs. Alabama? MOD was my platform when I was Mrs. Missouri America 1996. Unfortunately, my Jayson was not as fortunate as your Carter.
Go to Mrs. United States and compete with all your heart. You owe it to him and that NICU to do your best.
Love and best wishes,
Kathie Truitt
