“I was barely alive when You found me. I wished that my heart, could have just stopped beating. But You loved me so well, even in all of that darkness. You pieced me back together. You loved me back to health. You took all the shame that was covering me, and you draped it on Yourself.”

“Goodnight my darling, I’ll see you tomorrow”
That is what we always said
As the night swallowed day and the moon made its way
To the darkening sky overhead

But one day my whole world was darkened
As tomorrow for you never came
And so now when I wake, there is only an ache
As I know I won’t see you again

And it’s hard to explain feeling empty
And yet so full of pain all at once
Like a door that’s been closed, yet left open, exposed
Like a spotlight on something that’s gone

And the thoughts of tomorrow are too much
So I’ve come for a walk on my own
And I’m breathing in now, like I’m just learning how
Asking why must I do this alone?

Then I realise that you are beside me
You’re the wind as it kisses my hair
You’re the birds and the flowers, the fresh April showers,
The leaves as they dance through the air

You are everything I can see life in
Like the feathers I find on the ground
And I suddenly see that the world beside me
Is where whispers of you can be found

So I’ll look out for signs that you’re with me
And in time they might lessen the sorrow
And as night swallows day, listen – you’ll hear me say
“Goodnight darling, I’ll see you tomorrow”

It’s been a hard few weeks for me, and if I’m being completely honest my family could use some prayer. We have had to come to terms with the sudden and tragic desth if my little brother John Copeland. And although, I have wrestled with posting since the day he was killed, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it until now. The only explanation that even seemed remotely logical to me was this, I simply wasn’t ready to say goodbye, so if I didn’t acknowledge he was gone and make it official on social media for the world to see then maybe just maybe it wouldnt be my new reality.
To live in a world where John no longer exist is unimaginable to say the least. Anyone that knows me knew John! He slept with me until I moved out. I don’t remember doing much of anything without him tagging right along. He even went on a few dates with me. And it wasn’t your typical “ why is your little brother tagging along? No It was quite the opposite in fact everyone fell in love with him, snd insisted he come, and they would take him to fish & hunt. He was the kindest, most generous, & loving boy & man I’ve ever known. Always lifting everyone’s spirits showering us with gifts & compliments. John would literally give a stranger the shoes off his feet, or his last piece of bread he had to eat. And God knows he was definitely a family man, his was so proud of his heritage & his roots ran deep. Frequently speaking if all fond memories he had. Family meant the world to him grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, nieces, nephews, partners, friends, siblings real, step, or half it didnt matter to him; He loved them all the same, and would defend each and everyone of them until his dying day. Loyal to a fault, he was the best uncle of all!
We may not understand why, but there is a comfort in knowing Johns is finally safe at home for eternity. I have to believe he’s happy, healthy, & at peace singing, & rejoicing with Momma, his Memaws, his dads, & Sckrapoy. John this world will never be the same ill never be the same, but Im thankful your in a better place rest in peace lil bro
Until we meet again! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
