When tomorrow starts without me,
and I am not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me,
I know how much you love me
as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me
And each time you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
please try to understand,
That Jesus came and called my name
That Jesus came and called my name
and took me by the hand.
He said that my place is ready
in heaven far above,
And that I have to leave behind
And that I have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away
a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I'd always thought
For all my life I'd always thought
it wasn't my time to die.
I had so much to live for
and so much yet to do,
It seems almost impossible
It seems almost impossible
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared
I thought of all the love we shared
and all the fun we had.
If I could have stayed for just a while,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realise
that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories
For emptiness and memories
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of wordly things
that I would miss tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did
I thought of you and when I did
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gate
and felt so much at home,
As God looked down and smiled at me
As God looked down and smiled at me
from his great golden throne.
He said "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you,
Today your life on earth is past,
Today your life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew."
"I promise no tomorrow
but today will always last,
And since each day's the same here
And since each day's the same here
there's no longing for the past."
So when tomorrow starts without me
don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart.

I love you so much, Gig...
and I miss you...
But I'm so thankful you're finally home...
Rest peacefully in His loving arms
my beloved big brother.
"For if we live, we live to the Lord,
and
if we die, we die to the Lord.
So then, whether we live or whether we
die,
we are the Lord’s..."
Romans 14:8
