Shed some tears of my own reading this. Loosing a loved one is so hard! May God continue to give u d fortitude to bear your loss. Take heart.

Tnx..Ur words r really soothing

You may delete phone numbers at anytime you feel it's okay for you emotionally. But if you have to delete pictures, make sure you save it (back-up) somewhere else, because in the nearest future, you will need it so badly.

Before my mum died in 2009, we pleaded with both of our parents to take a photograph together, but both of them always gave one excuse or the other.

It was not until some months agos ( 3 years after she passed away ) that we took a photo of her's and merged it with a personal photo of my dad. If we had deleted/destroyed those pictures of hers, no one would have forgiven us.

So please backup the photos in several locations online, for later use.

Very emotional thread...zain/airtel already gave his no to someone else. RIP dad till we meet to part nomore

i ave deleted my husband to be number,but cant delete him from my memory.it been two years since he died but his memory is still ever fresh.

This is such a painful thread...

Bigboy 100%:
I haven't deleted my mumsy's number since July 2007, I feel it's a sign of honour to her. My Aunty's number is still on my phone since Febraury when she died. Its just a sign of remembrance and honour. May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace .

Na chope bigboy be dis.holla

An emotional thread indeed.....lost my dad in 2OO7 but his number is still etched in my mmry. Resaved it in my phone months ago even though the line has been reallocated. I still have my good friend and an uncle's contacts. Both died this year and i dont think I'd ever delete their BBM/phone numbers. Its comforting, in a weird way, seeing their contacts.

I lost my dad sometimes in july this year. Deleting his number from my farmily and friends' list was hard that i cried doing that. I stil have his number on fone....i jst can't delete his number.

Hmnn,this is such an emotional thread.

I lost my younger sister last month. Anytime i scroll my contract list and see her number,i feel sad. But just cant delete it. I m using her phones cos nobody wants to use it.

I delete them, when its really down on me,that i aint gonna see them again

Still have sister's no who was killed by a hit and run driver. I'm not thinking of deleting it soon. My only last memory of her was talking to her on the same line!

I still have my late father & my best friend number.one day my elder bros call me with my father's.omo i nearly faintded.

What an emotional thread! Even though dad died in the early 90s, still can't forget I never get to speak with him before is untimely death but I hope I can find time to forgive myself for not getting to speak with him, wish I could just have a phone number to reach him in heaven and speak all my mind. Meanwhile a friend died last year and couldn't help to view is facebook page once in month because that was the only means I could get to remember him but always refreshing to go back on his fb page and say in my mind that he was remember. No contact of his phone number though.

I lost a very very dear friend in the 2005 Belview plane crash. She was one of the air hostesses. I still have her number on my contact list and I do not plan to delete it. I feel like once I do that, I have disconnected the last link I still have with her. Perhaps because there was no body to bury, I never quite got the closure I needed. Once in a while, I still find myself dialling the number, somehow hoping that she will answer the call. All I hear is that the number doesn't exist on the network any more. I'd probably keep that number for life.

A frnd(Skol mate) of mine died last mnth... i was in total shock 4 2 weeks at a stetch...we pinged and discussed his wedding on saturday...planned to send me his traditional wedding pix and he died on wednsday...
afta some tym i had to delete him 4rm my BBM list...cuz anytym i see his name...i am alwz lost in thots..
it helped me move on...

a question to those married with a late spouse....when do u deem it right to get married again i.e if u r still young...cuz i dnt see my self loving anyone d way i love my spouse now...

may God forbid untimely deaths in our lifes..
Amen!!!

I lost my best friend September 23rd 2007 about 2 weeks to our orientation Camp (NYSC) but 5 years after, I still have his numbers on my phone and messages too. I don't think I would have the the courage to delete his contact and messages. Initially it was total anguish, denial that it didn't happen and that someday, may be someday he might call. But coming to accept reality, all I have is fond memories of wonderful times we had and how difficult it is to find true (unselfish) friends. I seldom comment on NL but for me it is a very emotional issue. Please let's learn to appreciate the best friend(s) in our life while we can because life is truely uncertain.

I once tried the number of my late grandfather a year after he died for dialling sake and someone picked! It wasn't funny at all. I almost threw my phone. When the person called back, it was my mum. She said she'd started using the line in memory of him. Another day I was sleeping and woke up when I heard my fone ringing. With dizzy eyes I looked at my screen and saw 'papa'. Na so I jump . Told my mom not to scare me again. I've since edited the contact name.

For me, never.
It's like a memorial.

I deleted it immediately, coz lookin at the no brings sadness nd fear into my heart.

I'm sorry but it sounds more like Husband not to be".

I lost my best friend in january.I haven't still been able to delete her number from my phonebook or facebook.so ,I think its a personal issue

I had to delete my late uncle's number today. He wz buried last week. I found it hard to let go, but seeing his number on my contact everytime reminds me of d ugly incident. I wish dere wz nothing lyk death

I feel pain whenever I see my dads number, we lost early this year. I dont think I will delete his number.

Even if I delete d number in my phone, I can't delete it from my brain. So no specific time to me

Reminds me of similar incidence that happened to me,3 weeks after my dad's death, my phone started ringing around 10:30pm omo see race i almost jumped out through the window,but after some minutes consideration i summoned up courage to pick the call only to discover say na my mum dey use the phone call, if no be say na my mama wetin i for tell her over the phone ehn.anyway it will be 1yr 30th of this month and i still have his no on my phone cant seem to delete it

Lost a friend some years back, had to delete his number becos I always felt tempted to call the line and was scared if someone picks the call, what would I even say. He was in a car with another friend who was driving and his friend survived, till date when this guy calls I dont pick becos I still blame him for killing my friend, though it was an accident.

I lost my mom 4yrs ago, I stil v both of her nos and I call d nos once in a. Whileto see ifd nos v bin reactivated. Cos I stil av both sims wit me. I dunno y I do dt.
