4 years ago tomorrow (March 5th) Jordan and I became a couple. In those 4 years we have seen and done much. The honeymoon period is over. We are settling in to the long haul. Realizing what's truly important to us and reminding ourselves that we must continue to work at our relationship. We have found our comfort with each other and now to make certain we don't become so comfortable that we start to take advantage of the other. It will always be a work in progress. But we are happy. We are in love. We are continually building a future together. I am blessed.
3 years ago today (March 4th) my youngest niece was born. Hazel is an amazing child. There is no doubt that she is a Crawford.
Sadly these two joyous events are over shadowed by the death of my mom, 3 years ago on the 10th of March.
3 years ago Jordan and I had just returned from celebrating our one year anniversary together in Estes Park. Mom had sent money so we could do the Haunted Tour at The Stanley. She declared it an early birthday present. We also enjoyed an amazing meal at Mama Roses', thanks again to a gift certificate that mom got me for Christmas. It had been a splendid time and gifts had been bought and hope was on the horizon for bringing joy back into my mom's life.
3 years ago my little sister brought her 4th child into this world.
6 days after that amazing miracle entered our lives, our beloved mother left it. She wasn't quite 55 years old.
Here I sit, enjoying the longest relationship I've ever been in. I am in the process of becoming a home owner. I have been in the same job for 3 years now, again, another first for me. Social media has made it possible to stay in close connection with my immediate family. And yet, deep within me I feel a great loss. A great longing.
