Fire

The story

Fire represents the flames I've been through in the past eight years. In the year 2000, I became homeless with six children. At the end of the year my youngest was born. I then began working at Meijer. Then my ex-husband decided after all these years he wanted custody of my oldest 4 children. This was very traumatic for me. I still remained strong, I felt as if it was mandatory for the sake of my younger 2 children. In 2001, I was living in a hotel with my 2 children, as well as my then boyfriend of 4 years soon after we broke apart. In 2002, I found a new home for my family. Things finally started going great. I met someone new I hadn't been that happy for such a long-time. In 2005, I received a devastating phone call from the nurse at the health department. She requested to have a private meeting with me as soon as possible. I soon found out that I was positive. In the beginning, I had so many mixed feelings. Today I view life much differently. I now see each day is a true blessing. I was a single mom just getting back into the dating game. The condom broke and let me inform you this is no joke. Suddenly my life changed right before the blink of my eye. So if you think because you don't live the wildlife, or a gay lover that this can't happen to you please think again.
