Teej-

It's been just over a month since you left us... Today would be our 8 month anniversary, if you'd let me celebrate such a thing. :P I know you wouldn't want me to be so sad, but it's hard. I miss you so much. I am glad I have Amanda, Mom, Dad, Mike, Denise, and the kids to help me get through it and feel close to you.

Alissa finally mentioned you to me. She hasn't forgotten, but I think she senses something is wrong.

I hope you're up there enjoying a beer with my grandfather! Have fun trying to keep up with him! I love you to the moon and back. ??

To The Family of Timothy J. Bishop, and his Girl Friend,
Jen Galle, from a Father in Cohoes. T.J., Gone Too Soon.


SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
