PERFECT DEFINITION –
Nov. 23, 2023 – Overdoses, addiction, and recovery are all things that happen throughout the year, but during the holidays many are faced with a make-or-break decision. Many times, it reveals how addiction and heartache take no days off. For the past few years, thousands have gathered around the table. However, inside the Covington house in Murfreesboro, there is always something that doesn’t feel quite right.
“That one missing, it’s an interruption of everything,” Anglea Covington said as tears started to gather in her hands.
For Covington, that one missing piece was lost four years ago.
“Tre,” Covington said, as she found it hard to say his name. “Tre was joy, he brought laughter to everybody whether you knew him or not and the person that killed my baby they stole my joy.”
Upstairs in his bedroom, Covington found her son. She would find out there were two pills in his system, which would later be revealed to be full of fentanyl. Tre thought he was taking common pain pills.
