The Beginning

On the night of May 24, 1995 Dennis Crawford walked his wife, Kathy, around and around their little three bedroom house in Salisbury, North Carolina. The floor plan of the house was rather simple, the kitchen connected to the living room which connected to a hallway that connected the three bedrooms and one bathroom to each other and the little bedroom connected to the kitchen. They walked until she said it’s time to go, and so they went to Lexington Memorial Hospital where Dennis watched T.V.

I was born on May 26, 1995 in Lexington Memorial Hospital at 10:00 A.M. My name means ‘follower of Christ’ but I don’t think that is why I was named that. My mom says she just likes that name.

According to the Chinese calendar I am a boar. Boars are self-reliant, very sociable, dependable,and extremely determined. Boars are peace lovers and don't hold grudges. They hate arguments, tense situations, and try to bring both sides together. In life they make deep and long-lasting friendships. Boars enjoy social gatherings of all kinds, and look for parties to attend. In fact, Boars must watch themselves so that their incessant pursuit of pleasure doesn't interfere with other aspects of their lives. Boars belong to clubs and they make terrific fund raisers. They have a real knack for charity and social work. Boars always listen to problems. They won't mind getting involved and try to help. Boars have big hearts. A problem that Boars have is that they are too innocent and naive. Being honest and trustworthy themselves, they have a hard time understanding the motives of those with less scruples.

My first name means ‘follower of Christ’ but I don’t think that is why I was named that. My mom says she just likes that name. My middle name is Marry and it means “star of the sea”. My mother’s middle name is Mary, and both of my mother’s grandmothers’ names were Mary. My last name being Crawford means ‘bloody crossing’ and has origin in Scotland. The name can also mean ‘a sheltering place for cattle’.

Before I was born My parents called me “Pea Pod”.

My dad wanted a little girl and my mom wanted a boy.

If I would have been a boy my name would be Dennis Franklin Crawford Jr.

As a baby I cried all the time and barely ever slept.
