As I cross this bridge in Baton Rouge and make this next road trip to Houston, it makes me think of all the times Ive been to Houston before. My first trip to Houston was to meet my girlfriend and our son in Texas Childrens Hospital. He wasnt even six weeks old and almost died. He had a severe vitamin deficiency disorder and they told us that the chances of him becoming a vegetable were pretty high. I remember flying down these roads not caring about anything but getting there. I made the trip back and forth from New Orleans to Houston several times while he was in the hospital until they finally released him and I brought them both home. That was 2009. In 2011 we planned on having another baby. I was to carry this time and would be carefully monitoring my fertility. Previous months with our donor at home had been unsuccessful. Our next ovulation day we would be in Houston visiting her grandparents. I scouted and investigated two donors in the Houston area. The first went as planned The second fell through. Desperate to conceive I found a third donor but didnt do all the homework. That night he raped me. I became pregnant never knowing which donor and lost the baby at 13 weeks. I never wanted to return to Houston after that but January of last year as God would have it he tested my strength again. He put the love of my life on a plane sent her to Houston only six hours from where I lived. I was still supposed to be on bed rest following one of my surgeries fighting cancer and was quite sick but I had to meet her in person. We ended our affair the next day not because it wasnt all that we thought it would be but because it was. I cried most of that drive home. Now here I am again, the end of 2014 driving to Houston to offer my services as a photographer to my ex-girlfriend for her wedding. She was the first girl I ever truly fell in love with, and was the shortest most intense relationship Id ever been in at that point. Im thankful I will be staying with a very good friend and her family, though I feel anxious about that too. :) idk what it is about Houston but it always tests me.. And Im always up for the test. Dear Universe, Im ready. I know youve got me. Love, Storme
