The storm raging in the Gulf isn’t the only thing brewing between these
two…

Cutter Thompson

Hurricane Tatum, a category five storm hell-bent on making landfall along the
Alabama coast, is my opportunity, to show my friends and family the kind of man
I’ve become.

The kid who lost his scholarship and the love is life is ready for a change. A
change I’m equal parts scared will and won’t come.

An EMT wasn’t my first choice of careers, but it’s become my calling. When the
winds die down, the skies clear, and the rain stops, we’re left with
devastation the likes of which I’ve never seen.

What I come to realize is ugly destruction can be beautiful, if we can only
figure out what perspective to see it.

The LSERT is a godsend, especially as us local first responders emerge from our
shelters to see our town and homes destroyed. It’s going to take time to
rebuild.

Rebuilding is what I’m used to. After I watched my four-year-old daughter die
in my arms I’ve done nothing but try to find a reason to live.

But I’ve got baggage. Memories, an ex-husband, and a fear I won’t be able to
save everyone.

When I meet Cutter Thompson, he reminds me rebuilding can mean letting go of
fear and allowing myself to live the life I’ve wanted all along.
