Crystal's Story
Life
After leaving Crete, I moved to the end of the world in a very small town on the Ohio River called Golconda. There I attened my High School years at Pope County Comm. High School. After being there for one year I meant my High School Sweetheart after all these years. His Name is James D. Blouir. I not only married him once I married him twice and Divorced him twice. But he gave me two wonderful daughters. they Are Alicia Maria Blouir And Susannah Elizabeth Blouir. Better known as Li & bear. Their ages are 25 & 16. I also have a wonderful grandson Isaiah and he is 7.
I later moved from Golconda to Harrisburg,Carrier Mills and Carmi and then to Crossville. Than back to Harrisburg with only my girls for a long time. I was married in 1979 to J.D. Blouir and Divorced him in 1983 But, remarried him in 1987 just to divorced him again in 1993. I later on married again in 1995 to a very special man Named James L. Waterman from Elgin, Illinois. He was 13 years my senior. I lost him on 12-02-2002.
After that I fell apart. I ended...Expand for more
living on the streets for almost 2 years. Untill I was sent to a nursing home in 2004. I was there for 3 months untill I could get well enough to live on my own again. I found out that I suffer from a rare form off Leukemia known as Chronic Myloied leukemia. I am now in remission. But I don't know how long. All I know is that I have God on my side. I do a lot of walking by Faith and not by sight.
As for my girls, My oldest one lives here In Eldorado with her son. I get to her and Him often . As for younger daughter whom I miss She lives with Her dad J. D. Blouir and his new wife. My health at this time is still unstable So it was better for me to let her live with her dad untill she is 18. Although he lets me see her when I want to and often also.
I still have some medical problems but, at least I am up and just learning to walk again without my wheelchair and without a walker. It is so grand to see God Make changes in my life for the better this time. As time goes on I will keep everyone updated and maybe some photos soon.
