I light a candle for my D, Daniel you were more than a cousin to me, you were everything a man could be to a woman for me, we lived a life that left many people to wonder if we were just relative or there is other things attached to it, life was so promising and full of hope until you departed on that fateful night 27th July 2004, memories still sound as if it was yesternight. You were a strong man but you surrendered to death without struggle which made me to asked "Death how powerful are you"

I watch you laid in the coffin without life and the innocent look on your face make me to said "God where are you" I watch you been laid down to the tomb and couldn't add a sand to your tomb because it was hard to say goodbye.

You always wish i get admission into the university and this came few days after your death, i keep wondering how happy you would have be if you were to see my admission letter. Your death make me to believe that with God there no different between life and death.

I pray that if there is reincarnation we should be siblings and God should grant you a life longer than what you spent in three-fold. May you have eternal rest until we meet again.
