this is so sad. i hate hearing innocent children dying. the good Lord that heals every wounded heart will heal you and you will be a mother again. God bless and pour His oil of healing on you and everyone. i would recommend bereavement counselling. it is always good to share the pain with people who know what to say and can point you in the right direction.

i lost my gran 5yrs & mum 2yrs ago. the pain is still raw i can tell you. it changes your life and the way you see things. Christ has been there for us all and we are very grateful. we couldn't have pulled through without His love and that of the brethren around us

I remember it quite vividly, the day sun darkened on my horizon;
The day death strangled fatherhood from my youthful consciousness;
Wailing ensued my bitterness, if only it were a remission for death;
I stared and stared, watched as eyes dilated;
Cold hands snuff out the being, that was weak to fight back,
I remember it quite vividly, the day sun darkened on my horizon.

Adieu Dad, Luv you forever

Tragedy comes in strings,thats why it is tragedy.light a candle for my sister inlaw Margaret Pearse Agboje who passed away last thurday,and my aunty and Florence Itoro who passed this afternoon, i love you both.

I want to light a candle for my beloved dad,Who died when we needed him the most.U left without saying anything to the family.Ur absence had been felt by every one of ur children.Each day we pray for you.We love you dad.We miss you.

I light this candle for my most beloved sister, Folake who passed to the great beyond in December 2006. I miss her very much. She was much more than a sister to me. Rest In Peace, dear. Adieu

I don't know if i should share these here but ,

His name is ( I know) Temitope Akinniyi. He was 12yrs old. And he meant more to me than i ever would have thought that anybody could be. He was not family yet he was more than family.

I taught in their school and in contrast to the teaching code (well I'm not a real trained teacher) i became a buddy of most of my students. He happened to be the most special. He was small for his age yet he was so sweet. He never ever bothered anyone and even gave his provisions to his friends (yes I was also in the hostel with em).

Then i woke up one Sunday in December and he was gone. That was the scariest day of my life. I wanted to die. Even begged God to do a swapping, He never even answered the prayer.

It's four years this December and I still think about him everyday. I still get emotional when i talk or think about him.

The only consolation for me was that he knew God. And i hope to see him again one day.

Tope, you still are to me my very own baby. Love you always.

I light this candle for a wonderful class rep I had in my University days. Funsho, you left us April 8, 2006 while in 200L and we graduated April 8, 2008, exactly 2 years after you had left. Though we observed a minute for you tha day but how I wished you were with us. The memories still linger on cos you're such a kind hearted individual.

That day, I couldn't light a candle for you cos it was still difficult for me to contain that you were gone forever but here today, I give my last respect to a man of the people, Comrade Funsho.

God will continue to take care of the family you left behind.

R.I.P my dear colleague.

I light a candle for my late dad.

Dad, when you waved 'goodbye' at me 3 years ago at MM airport, little did I know that it was the last time I will ever see you. Even though I still see you in my dreams, nothing can compare to the life we both shared together. Now I appreciate all those punishments and scoldings you gave me to make me a better person. I wish you had waited to see how beautiful your grand-daughter is and how so much she resembles you. Sleep well precious dad, till we meet to part no more. I will forever miss u.

@ all,
may the almigthy in his omniscience, grant you all the fortitude to bear the loss.

I've been following this thread for a long time and anytime i read it, my view on so many things do change.
It doesnt mean that, we that are alive now are better than those that have left. The most wonderful thing there is to live a good legacy, touch anyone that crosses your pathpositively and live a landmark.

Am not afraid of dying because it will save the pain of experiencing losing someone ver dear to me(which I dread most)

But alas, I've experienced that.


I light a candle for the first and foremost love of my life TITILOLA JANET EDUN, few days remaining to make it exactly one year you left this sinful world of ours.
Your life was cut short by someone who was acting as an agent of darkness, you were only looking for a misplaced pair of shoes which belong to you for some days, and luckily you found it also in you abode, and not knowing you have been given your travel visa to the world of no return.
Only if you had known not to put it on, but you did, and that was the end of the story, paralysis of the limb sets in. I could feel the pains and agony you passed through then. And at last you left us all, your wonderful sisters, mum, dad and me in particular.
But am glad you did left because i couldnt wish the pains you passed through then to happen to a foe of mine.

ADIEU MY 1ST LOVE_I Love You so much

i light a candle for my uncle who passed on three three years ago.
i light a candle for my aunt who passed on some days to my wedding,you promised you will take care of my first child,but you left without saying good bye to me,i miss so much and i know you are resting in the bosom of our lord.
i light a candle for my cousin who passed on in feb 2008,okey we all miss you.
i light a candle for a friend Dele who passed on last friday,the last time i saw you in my office,you didn't tell you won't spend this xmas with us,i know we will meet not to part again.

I light a candle for my dear DAD who departed this cruel and vain world on the 4th of November.I am still in shock and still find it difficult to believe that the last day i saw you was the day you saw me off to join my hubby.I love you so much and despite all the differing opinions i had with you, i could not have wished for a better father.You taught to believe so much in myself and made me know that my gender should not be barrier to me acheiving all my dreams.You made me fearless and made me realise that no one was better than me despite their colour,age or financial achievements and that what really mattered was on the inside.and most of all thank you for the type of education you gave me which did not only entail paying my school fees but also sharpening my analytical and reasoning skills.Gosh i am almost in tears typing this but love you and wish i could have said Goodbye. Sun re I promise to become all what you dreamed for me and even more by God' grace.Also regret that i was too busy to read your book am sorry for not making the time to do that.The book will be part of your endowment.

How i wish DEATH was orderly.A respecter of law and order.That those who came first would leave first.And that those who came last would leave later,
But NO.He`d rather strike whenever,wherever and whomever he feels like striking.
There`re TOO many candles to light in my life.From Mathilda(the most wonderful female i`ve ever met),to Gerrald "the soft-hearted one".From Teser Sugh "the big guy" to Tochukwu "the light of his mother`s world"  (he didn`t even stay long enough for his mother to smile after so many years of search for a child)
To y`all and all others that`ve gone to the beyond,
       My Candles shall forever be lit,

FOR MY UNCLE, OR BROTHER,OSAHON IRABOR WHO PASSED AWAY IN THE LAST ADC PLANE CRASH IN 2006.NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD HAPPEN BUT I GUESS U'VE MADE US ALL STRONGER, TILL WE MEET AGAIN
