A Mother’s Love

“May is a difficult month for me,” Evans began an emotional Instagram post. “May is a difficult month for me. Mother’s Day and [my son] Austin’s birthday are usually about 2 weeks apart. This year, it was also the 60th anniversary of #AnotherWorld – a show that would provide me with more than I could have ever imagined.

“Not only was #AW a job filled with people I loved and adored, but it led me to my husband, my child, and our family,” the actress continues. “One of my greatest joys was having my Austin play my son, Dante Carlino; a treasured memory l have frozen in time forever, one that I wanted to share a piece of with all of you today.”

Austin passed away in December 2019. He was 23 years old. Check out Evans’ appearance on AW with Austin below.

“There are no parameters on being a mother… of providing love, comfort, safety, and joy to those around you,” Evans warmly added. “Here’s to all the forever mothers.”

Evans’ DAYS pals are sharing support for their pal. “I love you, Judi,” wrote Tamara Braun (Ava). Greg Rikaart (Leo) echoed Braun’s sentiment. George DelHoyo (Orpheus) added: “Forever, indeed! Beautiful, dear Judi!”
