My Tribute: Chance lived life in all CAPS. From Lego to origami to piano to Magic the Gathering, he did it all with great passion and commitment. He graduated in the top 1% of his high school class. He was a junior at the University of Michigan where he majored in math and psychology. He would solve math equations in his spare time and compose music based on rolling a die. He was brilliant. He was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 2019. Chance died of a toxic combination of Fentanyl and Acetylfentanyl.
I miss his smile and his wit every day. He was destined for great things.

Excerpt: How I Stopped Blaming Myself for My Son’s Overdose DeathOctober 25, 2019 - 1:19 am
A son’s death and a mother’s love. This is the story of Josh Olt who overdosed on heroin and died at the age of 16. This is the story of the mother he left behind. It is not a story of “moving on,” or “getting over it.” For those of you who have lost someone you love to overdose, you know those things don’t happen. This is, instead, a story of disenfranchised grief, of self-blame, of what-ifs, of should-haves, and how to find a way to let go of that guilt.
