@Fixed thanks;it was really rough for us,still is.But I thank God for being there for us every step of the way.

@ goodsegs, I am deeply sorry for your loss and please, it was never your fault. All you can do is to keep being your best in all spheres of your life and remember your mum in your prayers. To all those who have lost their mothers, I say sorry and may God rest their souls in eternal peace, Amin.

7 years after and is just like yesterday cos your memories are still fresh in us. I have tried so hard to let go but I still find myself deep in thought about you and your promises to us. I really wish it never happpened. That void is still there.
Chy and Emy are grown-ups now and is not been easy controlling them, sometimes I feel like allowing them to . . . but the promise I made to you . . .
Mum, I miss you. Am very sure you are UPSTAIRS pls continue to interceed for and watch over the family you love so much.
RIP Mrs. Fidelia Obioma A.

January 13th, 2008, I came home and met you cleaning up the room, I joined you and helped you finish up cooking the stew and rice.
We ate and gisted till 2am in the morning, I slept off, my head on your belly, my usual sleeping position anytime I visited you.
I woke up at 7am in the morning and had to rush somewhere, but alas! Mummy, You were gone...you did not even give me a chance to say goodbye.
Today, 5 years, 4 months after, I still ask the same question...what went wrong within those 5 hours? I still wander about in limbo, because as far as I am concerned, you are still asleep, one day, you will wake up and tell me I have lived 5 years so far in a bad dream.
I married that boy, and his mother took your place, but you gave me 21 awesome years with you, a beautiful soul, your name ONOLUNOSEN..the one who never did anyone any wrong...

...and I may never know why and how you died, but until we meet again in the skies, sleep on beloved.

Sweet mother it's two years already,but it still hurts so much.....ur exit came so swiftly nd i didnt have time to tell u so many thing....mother u're my hero,my pillar,my role model,nd most of all i think u're super human!!

It's already 17yrs but the memories are still very fresh. I miss u so much, Mum.

My beautiful mum, i wrote this article on the last mother's day in march, only for you to depart suddenly in April , now i understand why i ended the article the way i did.

Dear Mama, On February 14th 1990, you left this sinful world. You knew me too well even before I discovered myself. You labored so much from the very first day you brought me to this world, just to give me comfort. You were the only one when no one else cared. Mummy, I took lot of things for granted while you were here. You worried so much about me, even till your last breath. I wish you were here to reap the good seed you sow.
I miss you everday!. My sweet mother & enforcer, Continue to rest in the bosom of Our Lord.
Mrs. Mary Titilayo Ajoke Adesanya (nee Aina) June 1st 1947--February 14th 1990.

She was beautiful

mum left us 20 years ago! omobola idowu olayanju- the only mother that ever came to this world!


4th jan 1993 would never be forgotten.

Dear mother of universe, 60days ago u were here, but 2day u're no more. The legacy u left behind will speak for u in days to come. Dear humble mother of 9, we miss u. Rest in the bossom of your Maker till eternity. Madam Priscilla Oruohu ANDREW, nee Ogbor. Yours sincerely, Sam.

Mrs. Elizabeth Ogomegbunam Bioseh nee Ugboko passed on on the 12th of april, 2007. She is my mom! I'm so proud of the woman she was; a single mother that took the sole responsibility of taking care of 3 children.I was never driven out of school for reasons relating to money. I always had access to the basic 3 square meals. I even had the luxury of excessive extra cash I schemed off her when I was in uni, just so I could match up to the fly boys. I once told her I would buy her a helicopter that she could go to the market with,..I was going to...death was quicker.

I extorted so much funds from this single mom with the hope that I will pay her back, even a thousand folds...I meant it. But I didn't have a chance to buy her anything.

...When she laid on that sick bed, I adored her so much, there was nothing to compare to her. She was my only joy; my heart; my love. I saw my mom's health deteriorate, I didn't know pastors(have a catholic background); didn't believe priests could help, it was cancer. I went to a cafe with tears in my eyes, I wrote to ministries ran by Benny Hinn, T. D. Jakes etc. Of course they didn't get the mails directly.

I was helpless. Money couldn't solve it...she died. I died too(not literally). I asked GOD why; What I didn't do right; so many questions. HE is GOD regardless.

She gave up comfort so I could be accomodated; she gave up luxury so I could have a better future.I could swear I owed her all my life, but I know better now.

Yes! I still miss her.
Yes! I still want her back.
At least, to say thank you!
Thank you ma!

Mrs Woripre Wodi nee Abadi. You were so hard working and strong willed. You always achieved what ever u put ur mind to. Strict and tender at the same time,ur smile was heart warming. You left cause u were in too much pain. Its 7yrs since u left us mum,we are all doing fine and our school finally got accreditation and I have been called 2 d Bar,married and u have a grandson now. If you were here,he would have stayed with u while I go 2 work but,its fine,cause he stays with maama and Rebecca is now an accountant too. Oh how I wish this will get to you. I miss u mum(aunty). Rest on my sweet mother.

malle
i will forever miss u....we luv u but God luv u more.
Its been 2yrs u left us,many things happend after u left,out of ur 6 children 3 got married. And 2 with kid.
To mai dearest mother:mrs florence oluwatoyin Ajayi(Iya ibeji)

You were my emblem of hope but now, as long as I live I hope. Rest on dear mama... Farewell my good friend... Goodnight my love... Till we meet to part no more. Mrs P.E AMIANDAMHEN NEE EBHODAGHE (1958-2008)..

I miss my mom Florence Omoboja. I tell my friends that still have moms, all the time, to show as much appreciation, love and care, to their moms, as they can. I started appreciating moms a great deal after I lost чσu! Who would be there to plan my wedding with me? Who would be there for/with me when I start having kids? Who would I leave my kids with and not have to worry if they're well taken of? I wish I could get another chance with чσu, noone's there to pray for/ with me, to share my thoughts with! Чσu'll forver be in my heart! Noone can ever love me, pamper me or take care of me the way чσu did, omoboja mee! Sun re oo!

This is a really touching thread.I sympathize with everyone that has lost either of their parents to the cold hands of death..Do take solace in the hope that they are in a better place and probably looking down with a smile on their faces.

To all of us that still have our mother/parents.May the lord keep and guide them .May they live long to eat the fruit of their labour.

binhozie: so people still miss a loved one after so long?
i see people here saying 7 years, 11 years, 24 years!!?
and here i am allowing people deceive me that the pain will pass, as i was looking forward to at least the 5 year mark

The pain will never pass... it is new every morning!
