Stormie was born in Germany, we were stationed there at the time. She had a head full of hair. ( all my babies did) She was talking and singing very early ( before the year mark).

When she was little, if she was upset about something and it happened to be storming at the time, we’d tease her about her making it Storm.. She hated that for the longest time. She eventually embraced it and laughed about it. Storms were her favorite, she loved to play in the rain, no matter how bad the weather was.

When we were stationed in Georgia, we had wonderful rain storms, the kids and I would play in the rain building dams, splashing, laughing and having fun.

We had a spot on the river that we would go camping and fishing there. This is where her ( what she called irrational) fear of fish began. We had been fishing and while we were loading up, the girls decided to look in the fish bucket. Some of the catfish were still alive and jumped up, rattling the stringer, scaring them. It was hilarious. Of course, when you have little ones scared and crying you have to force that laughter down as best you can.. It took her a few years to be able to fish after that.

Eventually we were stationed in Alaska and our outdoor adventures continued. We made lifelong friends there, who we shared many adventures with, from salmon fishing, duck hunting, camping, parks, etc.

If you’ve ever been stationed at Fort Rich and enjoy fishing, chances are you know what Ship Creek is. Every salmon fishing trip there would end up with the kids covered from head to toe in mud. They loved every minute of it.

There are so many memories I could share about our time there, but I’d be writing for days. At the end of our time there, Stormie was diagnosed with lymphoma. Our lives immediately changed. There are no words that I can write to accurately express my feelings during that time.

Long story short, after test after test after test coming back positive for lymphoma and us making all the preparations to head down to the Children’s hospital in Seattle, the doctor called us in and explained that it was gone. He didn’t know how to explain how it was gone, but it was. She was our miracle baby.

I have only felt so completely helpless one other time in my life and that is when I got the phone call I did, in the early hours of the morning February 2nd. There is nothing on earth that can prepare you for that. Nothing.

From one mother, parent, to another, cherish every single second. It only takes one person to destroy a life, multiple lives. Then, all you are left with is memories.... It does not matter whether you agree or disagree with what someone is doing or saying, in the grand scheme of life those things are not important. What’s important is the love you have.

Stormie’s Law in no way will take away the pain of the victims loved ones, but it will remove any added pain or stress. I know I constantly say thank you to the supporters of Stormie’s Law, I will never be able to say it enough. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to sign and share the petition. Thank you for taking the time to contact your Texas State Representatives.
