I have several candles to light. I guess I'd have to settle for one big candle for them all.

My heart bleeds when I think of all those I've lost. Sometimes, it makes me ponder (dangerously) on how God thinks.

However, I have decided to ponder less and move on constructively...until I can move no more!

First and foremost i light a candle for my dad. pa-pa you left a vaccum which no one has been able to fill. Second candle to my little baby girl whose death almost got depressed if not for God's kindness. Sleep on till we meet to part no more. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace-AMEN.

Im back again! ;(

One million candles can never be enough for you Bro Elijah, my prophet of fire . I was looking forward to the day I will walk down the aisle with you but alas death didn't permit that. 5th June 2011 remains the saddest day of my life, I miss you every single day. Thinking of you used to bring smiles to my face but now I shed bitter tears whenever I remember you (which is often). Your sudden passing is too sad to be true, its still a terrible nightmare I wish to wake up from. One thing is sure - God is forever faithful, my God is in the heavens, He has done that which pleases Him.Nothing will ever separate me from the love of God - Not even your sudden demise. Though it hurts terribly I will still keep loving, trusting and serving God because there is no unrighteousness in Him.

If lighting candles it is, then I would light streets up for my all in one daddy, I call him the patient farmer. Mr Boniface Ugochukwu Ofoegbu whom the good lord deemed fit to take on the 4th of may 2013, just about when he should reap a harvest. Life has been different without you, but I can't but thank God for the privilege of having had you as a father. My only wish now is that you find peace with God. Rest in peace dee Ugo, as for living, you sure will live as long as I do

This candle i light for you purity.....Its been 4years.I miss you and sometimes I feel your presence,dont know if its just my imaginations but sometimes i feel you are speaking to me.

Goodbye my friend.

Adieu Papa, till we meet again

Tears couldn't stop flowing as I read through this thread.
I light a candle for my Dad. It's been 11 years now but the memory is still fresh. Your last days were really painful cos of your sickness and we all watched as you couldn't even do a thing by yourself. More painful dat I was not with u when u passed away only to get that call from my brother on that early morning.
It still hurts like yesterday but my consolation is that you are resting with the lord.
Adieu Daddy. I love U

may the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
I light candle for my elder sister who died in the year 2008 from diabetes you left so early due to no money and neglect from our parent.
and guess what mother is down with the same sickness. but she is doing fine

Hmmm

I would like to light a candle for my husband Victor Ogun, who passed away on the 19th of July 2017...2 weeks ago. He was buried on Friday. Still can't believe. Don't think I will ever feel normal again. What do I do with all this pain? I try to read, write, I pray, sing hymns, play with my boys. I have to be strong for their sake. Lord take away this pain in my heart. I will never stop missing you my darling. You are free from pain now. Rest in the Lord.

So sorry madam,may the Lord cause His face to shine upon you and the boys,you will never mourn again IJN!!

This thread got me crying.
I lit a candle for my Dad. It's been 21 years since you left this world, it wasn't easy at all, growing up without a father figure, the struggles and all. I do imagine what it would have been if you were still around. Thank God for mum.
Another candle for my Cousin Tochukwu, it's been 14 years, yet the eye are still moist.
Another candle for my friend and inlaw Iyke Komo, it's been 7 years now, the boys are 8 now and the girl is 6,your wife, struggling with it all, heart still heavy and the eyes are still moist.
Yet another candle for Tochi my cousin, that left free weeks ago at the young age of 21, the tears are yet to dry.

I thank God for being part of your lives. May yours souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God Rest In Peace.
