My grams, she died in 2003, on my primary school graduation day, she gave me some cookies as graduation gift & told me "young man, i will be here for ur University convocation, am not going anywhere" . She died b4 my secondary school graduation. I still remember dose words.

For my dad, it would be when he used to take me out with the car as a little boy, mehn that man could drive. my dad had this funny way of showing love to ppl, he'll just look at you and smile and that's it. If u're waiting for a speech of affection, you'll die of old age.

my late bro, bless his soul, I miss him die, we grew up together, more like he raised n took care of me, I miss him calling me macho man(I'm slim) when in the real sense he was the macho man with an innocent smile and a sweet personality

He was meant to come home Nov, he died Oct., sometimes I silently wish he'd just knock that special way he does on the door. He was just 24

this thread has really ruined my day .

common , i know they are watching you and they won't be happy seeing you sad , your smile will do a lot for them .

It was only you comment i read here because i know what will follow it if i read others , am too emotional

Very emotional thread..

The most painful thing about losing loved ones is you will never see them again!

R.I.P to all our Loved ones

In this temporal life we will always lose someone and something but never lose your connection with your creator

Ma dearest childhood friend Amos Imoke. 2010 december I saw him and told him I've being admitted to study law. He was super happy and told me to study well and come out fine because I'll be his lawyer once I'm done. He told me of his plans to go to the NDA and I told him I also wanna be a military lawyer. On the 2nd of january 2011, I received a call from another friend and she told me Amos had an accident, was crushed by a trailer and lost his life immediately. Still finding it hard to believe.

SeverusSnape:

I'm really Sorry 'bout your loss, May the soul of your beloveth mom rest in peace

amen sir.thanks

Omg! This thread have moved me to tears I'm so fortunate not to have lost a loved one in the recent time. However, my father in -law died on Feb. 26th 2014 at a very old age after battling with partial stroke for many years. He was a good man. I declare that in this year 2015, we shall not die before our God's appointed time in Jesus name. We shall come to our grave at full age so says the Scripture . Amen.

[b]Mine was my sister,the eldest in the family. She was an angel,my best friend,my first love. People thought she was my mom. I remember on 26th december,1999 when I slipped from a stair in da barracks,crashing my head on a sharp concrete stone. It narrowly missed my eye. Blood was gushing out,I was rushed to da hospital. Ande Hospital in Jos. During stitching,I was crying non-stop,but when she heard and rushed to da hospital, she came and I layed on her lap as da nurse stitched da gash. I didn't make a sound,like b*obs flew into my mouth,lel.
And every morning when I'll keep following her like an escort,pestering her to give me 5naira to buy bread.
Or how I always fall sick anytime she travels.
How I always ask her for the meaning of tough words I'd heard on tv or sumwhere else. She fell sick 2months to her wedding. The wedding neva happened. She battled hard,fought for a year and 6months. Her faith in God quadrupled,despite all of these I was always in her thoughts. My mom told me dat sum few hours b4 she died she was asking her hw I will be able to cope if she's dead. We were dat close! I'd do anything to have her back. She died on december 26th,2007 at da age of 27. And I was always in her thoughts through till she took her last breath. God knows I loved and still love dearly.. I'm amazed upto dis point dat I cried less when the news broke. Because I know she's resting in paradise..

Sleep on,Charity Aliy Andrew!.[/b]

Mine is my grandmum

I remember it was in the abacha era and civil servants were being owed salary for months and things were hard for my parents,my grandma travelled all the way from her village in ogbomoso to Oyo town with a meal of pounded yam,vegetable and bush meat. When my mum asked why she had to risk the road and come down she said how could she prepare a sumptuous meal to eat and her daughter's family is suffering and my parents hasn't been paid.

Iya ni maami...

Lol, funny girl with funny story.

When she was @ my place,we talked,laugh n I was happy dt my mummy was with me live cos it was like a movie to me,the funniest thing was when she told me she was watching her weight,she doesn't eat meat,fried egg,chicken,I was laughing @her cos to be sincere,her stature was perfect,u won't knw she's a grandmother yet..
There was a day she took d broom n swept d sitting room cos I told her my hubby was coming home,I was surprise cos d house wasn't dirty bt she told me dt "men doesn't like it when the house is disorganized"..
On the day she was going back to lag,she woke me up n said she was ready,I asked her if she has took her bath,bt she said she'll bath when she get to lag,she n those dt came with her prayed on d car,I couldn't look @her cos I was almost crying cos part of me doesn't want her to go..she died in a fatal accident along okene road..I miss her soooo much..

my sister, a friend and daughter to me

Ozioma was a brilliant girl and I nursed her when our dear mum left us eleven years ago.she was three years old then .. she died 2013 at 12 years. she called me mum .....the hugs before and after she comes back from school, the fights, her smiles even when she was on her sick bed fighting to breath ....I remembered she told me to go and get pap for her, I returned to meet her body lying lifeless on the hospital bed, oh those memories hunt me night and day.... the pain I felt for her lost is far more greater than I felt for my late mum.....

The day I backed her all the way to her school and she was so proud to tell her friends am her mum....

it hurts so much

RIP my unique baby ..... yeah i will one day name my child Ozioma in memory of you .

What an interesting thread that brings people back to their senses. God bless you safari girl for this wonderful thread. I seriously feel like crying after reading different experiences from different people

I haven't shed tears in 30yrs; but today, this thread brought the tears back to my eyes.

thank you dearest...I really appreciate your words...

It was my youunger sis,we slept on dsamee bed,bathed together, ate in same plate,we were soo close. I attended her matric,she attended mine. I could always count on her with my secrets and same with her. I knew all about her relationships. She was hale andd hearty when i left home on sunday evening cos of the field trip we had, just for me to start getting strange calls, then i came home to hear that my sis is gone. Died after a slight headache. I am yet to recover from that shock. I miss her dearly. April 5th will always remain a memorable(negative) day for me.

My sweetest friend Deborah:

Last time I saw her we were at a friends party,she said really funny things like how many of her friends in second. School she really hated,type of guy she wanted to marry...weird and stupid stuffs.
Always fond of saying "on judgement day if I no see you for heaven ehn nick nick you go suffer".
She was always insulting and fearless....how much I need some of those insults now
About the only person that understood me better than most of my family members.
Reason why death don't scare me anymore..I have lost much more than I would I ever get.
#RIP my lepa goddess

It was my grandfather.

He used to call me Mama 'cos, according to them, I'm his mother reincarnated. And so he would get all excited whenever I visited home (Villa) on any occasion. I love to cook and I started so early; he also attributed my cooking skills to his late mother. And so whenever I was in the kitchen, he would sing my praises until the food was ready. After the meal, though he was the elder, he would thank me specially for the delicious meal.

I was so little but he would include me in most of the things he did.

When he got too old to move by himself (he also had lost his sight), I would do things for him like, shaving his beards, giving him a haircut, and even bathing him. Yes, I used to wash him up! And I enjoyed every bit of it.

I loved him soooo much and when he was dying, though I was in far away Uniport, I knew 'cos he appeared in my dream and let me know he was going. Yes, we had that kinda bond.

I still miss his wisdom sayings/stories, tender cuddles.

He died @115.

My mum:This should be the 20th year or 21st am not sure.

I was very young then(6), my favourite memory was she drove us to school in her small Honda sports cars, she would always buy this particular biscuit...(forgotten the name...)...till now when I see this biscuit I remember her...living with Stepmothers hasn't been easy but your love in your heart as kept me and my sibblings and we grown very strong.

I lost my Dad in 2011
The most painful things that has happened to me is for me not to recollect
1)The last word we exchanged
2)The corner of the house I saw him last
3)The last physical expression and appearance I saw with him.

I was in the boarding school. That unfaithful day my housemaster just called me that I will have to go home 2moro for something important that I should prepare and he didn't tell me what it is all about,After like 10min of thinking about it,I started crying,i jst have the feeling that my dad is gone...throughout that night sleep no gree come o. I wanted to go out to our hostel mosque to make some prayer but fear for the ghost no gree allow me.The next morning I got the msg that two of my father's disciple are waiting for me,I just they pray different kind of prayer,make God jst change the story (something wey I never confirm)I just they make different kind of promise to God that if God can just allow me sight my living Dad,that I will forever be thankful...On seeing these pple waitng for me,their eye don turn RED.I just surrender to my faith.throughout our journey to my home town I no talk to any1 of them I just they pray.on getting to my town I don dey notice some pple wey no suppose they my hometown by dat kind hour,my hope still lost again. On getting to my father compound I can see like 500pple siting queitly,some sobbing,as I dey come down from the car and pple see say na me,everybody just put the crying for gear 1 (unto say na me be d only son)i just bone climb up...the rest na story
I no cry for the first 2hours after confirming
I just dey think about him,things he said to me alone [that if u are intelligent to some certain level u will rule ur world urself that he won't even intervene and pple will be afraid to confront you for nonsense talk ]but na 2week I take cry am back o

Aaww dear...I can't say I know what it feels like 'cause I watched mine grow, she'll be 12yrs this month.

I pray you get over the loss..and find more than a sister in a friend.
