Mora Curtis Browning

Well another year older....

Last year Daddy called me and cracked jokes about me catching up with him. Like he wasn't gonna get any older! lol

I missed hearing from him.  It was hard knowing that this time last year I would have never thought that my birthday call from him would be our last 2 hour phone conversation.  

Last year he made fun of my birthday gift from Eric.... a new kitchen facet! He laughed and told me to tell Eric that he needed to go buy me a real brithday gift! Until I told him how much my new facet cost....then he let in on how can a facet cost over $100!!  He said he was gonna have to come up and check that out! (he never made it thanks to the loser Todd!) Daddy then went in to tell me how lucky I was to have Eric and how thankful he was that Eric took care of me the way I should be.  Daddy appreciated Erics love for me.  I miss my birthday conversation with Daddy. Many probably never seen the side of Daddy where he tells you how much you mean to him and how proud he is of ya....

Daddy loved his kids and grand babies. I am so glad I had him for 31 years...

My first full year without him...... I survived but with a broken heart!

 

This weekend marks the last time I ever heard his voice. I was suppose to come to Gilbert and he called to see when I would be there and I told him I had to get my house cleaned up so I wasn't coming. He said well then Im gonna go to Jay & Carols. How many times in the last year do I wish I would have just went to Gilbert!! He would have stayed home. The devil had other plans....but I know MY GOD and so did he! I truly know that GOD won the battle that day and my Daddy is in heaven. My prayer is that all his family reunites in GOds time.

 The Browning reunion ... "over yonder". Horse shoes and car shows in heaven??? You better belive it!!!

This summer has not been the same without Daddy.

 

I miss his visits and us sitting on the porch until way up in the morning.

 

Last summer I remember we sat out there until like 3am talking and laughing.

I never would have imagined it would have been our last.

We sat there and drank coffee all night. He would say he was gonna move a trailer in my front yard and hook up to my water and laugh. He thought he was picking on me.  I told him to come on up and bring Hunter and he could baby sit! lol   I would have loved having him that close to me. 

 

People say this pain get's easier and in time....

I am not so sure I agree with that.

The pain in my heart only gets worse and time is gone by.

 

Holding on to all my memeories,

Ann

 

Well Curtis its birthday time, I know every year we always called each other and wished each other Happy Birthday, I can't call you this time and it is really breaking my heart. I will look up and tell you HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I miss you more and more each day that passes.But we know you're in a better place and a whole lot happier to. So were going to celebrate you're Birthday for you, We talk about you all the time and will always have you with us where ever we go,Here's to a terrific brother and a friend whom we love and miss so much. love Jay, Carol,Keasha and Shawna

Well it's almost Daddy's birthday and for the 1st year in a very long time....I will not buy a high dollar bottle of liquor.  Yeah gasp! I can't believe she said that! But I did.  And it's a memory and I will miss it.

I will miss that smile on his face when he seen me walk in the door with the purple velvet bag. He would say, "You didn't have to get me that!" I would say well that's what you ask for...some good liquor...here you go.  I know,  not the most wonderful thing a daughter could buy her Daddy but that's what he wanted. 

I also got him other things but for the last 11 years I have bought him a large bottle of Crown Royal.  Even when I got in church I said I would not buy it anymore but when I would ask, Daddy what can I get for your birthday....his reply would be, "well you know what I like, the good stuff!!" 

  

I soo wish I could stop and buy a bottle of Crown for him today.... 

 

Missin my Daddy more and more.
