October 2021 Timothy V. Cochran Move Day – Two brothers together
1:58 is a spot of Timothy
There will be a much more updated video history coming soon. I’ve got to edit/upload them then post.
Timothy and family were moving to a new gig more Northwest from this ‘ole farm house. The pasture surrounding had cows and horses. Timothy told me the girls would fee them through the fence and got a hoot out of it. I know what that’s like.
This was all when Timothy and Tracey were just getting the lowdown and practices of home schooling their children. The girls are so blessed for all that dedication. Of note, Timothy seemed to never stop amazing me on the fabulous places he and Tracey found for the family.

The first Monday back on February 24, 2025 after my brother’s untimely death, I saw this art display on my walk to the Athletic Ticketing Office. I was in route to catch up on a few projects we are in the planning stages of the the 2025/2026 academic year.
It is Spring break for the students and faculty this week. The campus is very busy doing all the task we cannot get done while the clients are on campus. It is a peaceful time.
This display was a real message from God to me on that day saying, hey others are out there hurting just as much. This I know, but sometimes you feel you are the only person hurting/missing someone or something in the world.
Posted on my whiteboard at my desk that is read daily, Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
As we go into the first month anniversary of the loss of our major love-one in our short time here on Earth, I watch the flowers grow weaker and weaker at holding their pettles in some cases. In other cases, the flowers are just closing up with time. The evergreens are still holding on strong to the memory.
God bless

The verse that day was: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Cor.13.1-1Cor.13.3&version=NKJV
It’s only been 28 days. I can’t believe/accept the reality that my best friend and only real friend has left me. It so fucking hurts.
He’s got a lock on the 10th of the month the rest of my life, at this point.
I was walking across campus and found this treasure from God to me via one of the Arts students similar to Ashley. (zoom in to read)
So pray for our family all three branches. In the last six months our family has taken a 90, 70+, 60+ hit to each unit but the main center has taken over a 100 impact.
Timothy’s flowers day 29
BTW: 3 out of 4 voted MAGA in November and actually 2 more I can name so sorry we are feeling the pain of the Demoncraptic Party with their buddies (RINOs much like Sen. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham.
Taxes – I’m so glad I can assist my father with the IRS via TurboTax (not endorsed). TurboTax cannot process the Bailey option in the North Carolina State Tax Return beware you may lose $1000s too in refunds due to the application. (Electronic Filing)
70+ F today – enjoyed nap in the sunlight.
Dinner with my brother. I had Hunan Beef with fried pork rice and an egg roll.
I got the apple trees put in the ground! I’ve been needing to bury them into our backyard since I saved them from the “garden” area where it appeared the rabbits were eating the leaves (c) 2022.
One of the Kiwis are planted in it’s place. One left in the pot. I had a visit from a wonderful neighbor, Roy “The Painter.” He needed a kind friend, as we say.

Day 14. *cries*
I started “waterworks” waiting on the 501 US Hwy light at University Drive.
Dinner was chicken thighs in egg noodles, cream of mushroom with Lipton Onion Soup mix and two pieces of “Dried Black Fungus” from the Far Eastern shop in Myrtle. Those fungi last forever if dried correctly. *wink* Aimee was very pleased with supper.
Then Viva began ringing the phone off the hook. *roll eyes* She, once again, ruined dinner with her insistence on getting a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt to her this night with it being 20:00 and I was still eating since I had finally sat down with my wife to discuss our days out “at work.”
So we drive to Murrell’s Inlet, then to Conway to have this wonderful woman tell us it wasn’t important, and why couldn’t she get through on the phone after the several phone calls? Aimee explained she cut the phone off to get some peace.
It only got better at that point. *Prayers of Peace*
Pray you never have to deal with a mental patient that is being mis-diagnosed and ignored by the medical team caring for your patient. After a hour of abuse, we departed to return home. I got to finish my supper. It was rather tasty even cold. Thank God.
It’s now 23:38 and I’ma close with the verse I was given to read at Timothy’s Celebration of Life this last Saturday (February 22 at 2pm).
Matthew 6 NKJV Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Jenni, Piper, Aimee, and Molly on February 22, 2025
The last month has been, well wait a second this has been happening since Christmas 2024 as we celebrated Donald J. Trump Presidential win in November. Then in horror we watched as Sen. Lindsey Graham and his Demoncraps “buddies,” Biden and Obama, raped the hell out of the citizens of the United States of America with reckless spending. Some folks refer to these last few months of the Democrat controlled Obama’s 3rd term as, “They were throwing gold bars off the Titanic while not wearing a life jacket.”
Since Trump has been in office the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has become operational, their actions for “We the people” has given them the insight into the spending’s how and where billions (in some cases accumulated up to trillions) of taxpayer dollars that has been controlled by the Democrat House and RINO Senate during the Obama 3rd terms. All dollars pathway have been found that Sen. Lindsey Graham and his Democrat compadres have spent to only have it come back to their “purses (election fund),”. Great job if you can snag it.
February 14 – 15, 2024 are days that I pray stay in my mind forever. The pain of a one-way conversation with your brother of fifty-seven (57) years belongs to a select collection of humans whom really and truly understand the “kick-in-the-balls” of the news about a death in the family, and experience the process of the final goodbye. At death, we will meet each other again. I am so $%*@ing happy he did not have to go through Chemo, or have his chest busted open, or go through the waning days/hours till you have that fateful meeting with death. No fucking pain, the way to go.
Now it is the time of your journey in Heaven. You beat me to it. *wink* Always wanting to best your older brother. So many times, so many things, so many experiences you have beaten the pooh out of me.
Once arriving in Boone’s Mill, I began to see residual snow on the North face hills/woods, then after a few more hills, the mountain tops showed signs of the previous winter storm. The downed trees due to God’s pruning were all along the highway.
Lexington, Virginia has a massive amount of real History in it that I had totally missed out upon prior to this visit. Due to the nature of this visit, no visiting and/or exploration was done to any real extent. (More to come…)
The trip back was very rough to start with due to the winter storm blowing in from the West. Water was coming down as if an Ark had been built. *wink* Having Tractor-trailers on the roadways in bunches was a pain when some “numbnut” wasn’t passing with ‘authority.’ Come’on ppl its deadly out here an you are running at 50mph in a 70mph, ignore the warning signs of weather it’s only rain. “What you haven’t driven in hurricanes before?” After Greensboro, the weather eased up and the ride was rather relaxing till Horry County.
Sunday we worshipped and got the lawn done once the rains moved on. The temperatures are going to drop for Monday and the rest of next week.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
Timothy’s reply to my bible verse: ” (thumbs up)(heart) this world needs more Jesus’s love for sure (heart)” 07:29 Hours
Well got to talk to Timothy today. While he sounds a bit like Nancy from San Fran, his content was a enormous amount of more substantive.
It was a huge blessing to be able to share.
God bless.
Of note the hamburgers were a hit and Dad commented, I could eat that everyday if you want to cook it. He loved the bacon condiment made with the press Aimee (Santa) got me this past Christmas.
Because of the coffees drunk at the game Saturday night, I didn’t finally get to sleep till approaching 06:30 this morning. Three hours of nap and the day begins. 😉 *wink*
