Ever Lost Someone As Dear As Family? Come Light A Candle For Them Here

I light a million candles for my beloved, Okwuchukwu (Okwy) Ugbana who passed on February 7, 2008. You were the kindest person I ever knew. You gave so much yet you expected so little. You were loved by everyone who knew you. You were always there when I needed a friend to talk to or a shoulder to lean on. Till this day I cannot believe you are gone forever. Everyday since you passed I have made a wish, from wishing I could just see your face one more time to wishing you were still here,  But the good Lord knows best. I console myself everyday with the fact that you were a true christian; you lived for and loved the Lord dearly, and you did his will.

I spoke to you the day before and i didnt even say, "I love you" or "Goodbye", but you know deep in your heart how i feel about you. I never thought you would die, I mean, how could I have? I guess I took that for granted and I am sorry. I am trying to move on but it is hard. It is hard not talking you everyday like I did in the past, or sharing my dreams and aspirations with you, or you teasing me and telling me about business and stuff. I know you are in a better place, for that reason, I am happy. I pray we meet again, someday, soon,  But till that day I will miss you everyday,  I LOVE YOU!

I have dedicated this song (Bye bye by Mariah Carey) to you everyday since its release and I know my fellow nairalanders who have lost someone dear will find solace in its words,


This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
No, no, no

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it
But you kept me in line
I didn't know why
You didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through

All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today
Face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'D give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

You never got a chance to see
How good I've done
And you never got to
See me back at number one
I wish that you were here
To celebrate together
I wish that we could
Spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to
Tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'D make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact
You're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'D give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye, bye.

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'D give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

But, all I have are photos and our family's recollection of the man that you were. I pray that I find a man with the same principles and values like you had. I really miss you!

I really miss my dad. I really loved you dad but i didn't show it and i am so sorry. I wish you were still here.
