Missing Momma today ...

Oh Momma! I miss you! I always miss you ... but some days, like today? Well, I miss you so much it HURTS!!!!! 
I want to see you ... hear your voice ... smell that unique smell that was yours alone ... 
I need a hug from you ... I need you to pat my face and tell me it's all going to be ok ... 
I want to tell you about everything that is going on in my life - all the good stuff ... and all the not-so-good stuff, too. 

You would be so proud of Mandy ... she has grown up so well! She is a beautiful lady, with a precious spirit, and still has that giving and loving heart. She is such a good momma to Elijah and Brooklyn - oh how you would love both of them! Brooklyn would be your snuggle bug as much as Mandy ever was. And Elijah? Well, he would be one of those that would make you say the ugly words! LOL He is ornery, but oh how much I love that boy! You would too. 

And you would be just as proud of Joshua. He has grown up big and strong! He is such a good looking man! He works hard, too, Momma. He is a loving daddy, oh he is firm, but he is a big teddy bear! He has never hurt Shell and Kyla - and he never will. I trust him completely. You and Kyla would be best friends, she likes to talk and you always liked to listen. Shell? Well, he is a lot like Joshua was all those years ago - ornery and loving, too. 

Momma, i miss you so much today. The tears just won't stop this afternoon - the more i think about you, the more the tears stream down. I love you Momma. 

Life is hard Momma - harder than i ever thought it would be. I wish you were here to help me figure it all out. 

I think about you a lot ... when I cook , when I clean. I think about you when I see a pumpkin ... when we eat at McDonald's. I think about you when I make a gallon of tea, when I wash a load of clothes. Momma, you and I did so much together for so long -- all those years of me growing up, and then for those years before you had to go into the nursing home. We cooked, we cleaned, we canned, we shopped, we ate, we laughed, we cried, we talked ... no wonder I miss you so much! 

Every once in a while when either Mandy or Joshua have been working hard, and all the smells of the day are on them, and they give me a hug -- well, I think I smell you ... and my heart leaps ... and it hurts. I love you Momma. 

I miss you, too.

Ric – how do we say we love you?
To say that you were a best friend, a soul-mate, a brother …
sounds so much less than what you are to us!!!
Almost 25 years of knowing you.
Knowing that you were but a phone call away at the farthest point.
How do words convey the heartbreak of knowing that we face these days without your voice? 
I want so much to hear you say, “Hey there! How’s my baby girl?”
We are a rejoicing that you no longer hurt, you suffer no more.
We rejoice to know that you are in the arms of Jesus!
And we are a bit jealous that you get to be there and we don’t – not yet.
Watch over us – Hebrews 12:1-2.
Wait for us – we will come to you one day.
But, until then – we miss you brother and friend!!!

Becky Moorhouse

Becky was one of my bosses when we lived and worked on the Tongue River Ranch out in West Texas, a few years ago. She and I had many good conversations over coffee and while i was cooking lunch for the cowboys. She was a sweetheart! 

KING COUNTY, Texas — On Thursday, March 15, 2012, Rebecca Moorhouse passed away with her family by her side at the Moorhouse Ranch located in King County, Texas, her home of 22 years, after fighting a courageous battle with cancer.

Born April 29, 1954, in Seymour, Texas, to parents Ann and Manford Elliott, she began her life in the ranching community. Ranching was the only life she knew until she began her nursing career. On several occasions, she volunteered her services on trips to Mexico giving medical attention to needy children.

In 1989, Becky returned to the ranching way of life when she married Tom Moorhouse. At this juncture in her life, Becky went everywhere Tom went. She rode a horse with poise and grace, appreciating how people in the ranching community depend on each other. She embraced the opportunities this lifestyle had to offer. Tom and Becky raised five children and instilled in them the same values they had learned in the ranching community.

In addition to being a wonderful wife, mother, and homemaker, Becky loved Mother Nature’s splendor. She turned the historic Moorhouse Ranch headquarters into an oasis of beauty honoring its heritage, while maintaining an environment where cowboys, family, and visitors felt at home.

In 2009, Tom, Becky, and their son Gage, moved to nearby Tongue River Ranch where Tom took the position as general manager.Becky is preceded in death by her father, Manford Elliott. Becky is survived by her husband, Tom Moorhouse; her mother, Ann Elliott; three brothers, Bob Elliott and wife Rhonda, Bill Elliott and wife Patricia, and Gilbert (Cotton) Elliott and wife Ginger; a sister, Cindy Layton and her husband Rayburn; three sons, Brad Walker and wife Bridget, Seth Walker and wife Jessica, and Gage Moorhouse; step-son, Jed Moorhouse and wife Michelle; and a step-daughter, Jody Lindeman and husband Douglas. Becky was loved by seven grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Becky truly never met a stranger and was kind and endearing to all that had the fortune to meet her.

Services will be at Benjamin Community Center in Benjamin, Texas on Saturday, March 17, 2012, at 2 p.m. Interment will immediately follow at Moorhouse Ranch. Arrangements were made under the direction of Smith Family Funeral Homes of Knox City, Texas.

If desired, donations may be made to North Texas Rehab, 1005 Midwestern Parkway, Wichita Falls, Texas, 76302.
