This has got to be the hardest thing, Ive ever had to do. Allan and I were the best of friends. We separated in 2008 and hed lived in Alabama. The reasons why, really isnt anyones business. When people break up, they forget sometimes why they loved the other person to begin with. We didnt. Even though the hiccups, we had something special. We spoke almost daily. He loved to cook. Kept me fat. Knew everything about everything especially how to irritate me. And calm me when I became high-strung. Married him when I was 19 and technically, Ive never known a time without him. Thought hed always be there. Guess thats the funny thing about life, we always think we have time. We didnt. I got 16 years of laughter, flaws, crayons, heartache, tears and love with him. He loved me before Mocha Berry even existed. Alland been sick for a very, very long time. The sickness attacked his body and his mind. His illness was my inspiration for becoming healthier in every aspect of my life. He passed away sometime in the early morning hours on Sunday, March 23rd of congestive heart failure. He was 43. He has a daughter, Lyndsey. Shes beautiful. Looks just like him. She doesnt understand. Neither do I. Im not sure how this all works. I never thought Id ever have to do this, say goodbye to him. He was always a phone call away to comfort me on those rough days. Everyone always thought I was the strong one. Even now. But the truth is it was the love he had for me that made me strong. Kicking and screaming. He loved me still. And the only thing he loved more than Lyndsey and I is God. Anytime, Id make a mistake, hed tell me Baby, we got more paper towels. That was it. He loved with everything he had. Served God and people. I have to say goodbye and I really dont want to. Theres no good for me in this goodbye. Yes, its selfish. But youre not in pain. For that Im grateful. Give me a little while longer, Ive got some more growing up and living to do. Try to help someone else like you helped me. I love you Boomer, always will... until we meet again. Cresha Thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers and kindness to my family and I. Im leaving first thing in the morning to be with family. Memorial Service for David Allan Curtis is Friday, March 28th @ 11AM Killen United Methodist Church 201 J C Mauldin Hwy, Killen, AL 35645 Please keep Allans Parents Boyd & Glenda Curtis and his daughter Lyndsey in your prayers.
