This is sad jare.

ReplyDeleteI remember my dear Friend and Pilot, Chinyere Udoh, (2023) Oh dear! This is the one that shook me after my Father’s death, I wept like a baby, even when I was out and people were merry making, I was crying like an infant, never seen someone kind to a fault, Chi, I miss you everyday and wish you never left, I pray God takes your kind and beautiful soul, Love you my Man 😢 🌹 🕊️ 💐
Kelvin Dat Edo Boi (Stellz Cousin)
My Father 😭 he knew history so well. I wish he's here to tell me many things I don't know about Nigeria and my community.
ReplyDeleteI miss my two cousins that died in 2020, young men that were full of lives.
I miss my mum's cousin that always make us happy anytime we traveled to her village.
I miss IK my dearest cousin, his father took a second wife against his mother's will. She was broken cos she started from nothing with the man. He took a second wife after he became rich and it cost him his peace. She died after a brief illness (RIP), My uncle abandoned his children and focused solely on his second family. IK became wayward and started smoking all sorts, no one was there to caution him😭😭😭. Even his elder brother was helpless. He became ill and died too😭😭😭 A very smart and lively guy. A once peaceful family shattered because of a strange woman. That man(my uncle) allowed the devil to use him in destroying his home. I pity his elder bro the most cos he had to become both father and mother. I'm sure he cries alone sometimes.
Meehn, stella you gon make a lot of people cry today with this topic.😞
ReplyDeleteWell, My late aunt under whom i grew up. She was the then Nigeria females national team handball captain. Was a selfless sweet soul who always helped even strangers, always wanted to see people do better.
If we hadn't lost her, i sure would have been playing football in one of the top leagues in Europe RN as talent is never enough in nigeria. She was the missing piece in my puzzle.
Then my Immediate elder bro who we lost in 2019. Damn... How do you even cope with the loss of a brother who your own voice reminds you of because you both sound exactly alike.
This kind of pain, only those who'd lost loved ones can understand as it is unexplainable...just tears.
To all those who has lost very close loved ones be them old or young, may God comfort y'all as there is never good time to lose a loved one.
And to those who haven't, may God continue to keep untimely death away from your household.
May the souls of our departed loved ones keep resting well.
Thank you. I'm still in shock still can't process mine. Because I lost three family members under 6 months. I'm shocked
DeleteMama,I miss you everyday. Wish you were still here but thanks for instilling discipline and bringing us up aright.Now,motherhood has made me appreciate you more even in death.Keep resting mama 🕊🕊🕊
ReplyDeleteMy Aunt,Gosh she spoilt me silly throughout my university days.Never lacked anything. Most generous and accommodating human I know.Keep resting mama.🕊🕊
My grandparents,miss you both.keep resting 🕊🕊
It's so sad to know at the end of it all,we will not live forever.
Will there ever be closure?
ReplyDeleteIt's on a day in January 2010, my elder brother was at home throughout, towards evening he decided to step out to his business place, on his way coming in the night, he was hit by a car, hit his head on the slab, went into coma but never woke up, if only money could save lives maybe he will still be alive, I miss you Daddy Dammy.
Oh my dear father, I miss you so much, you died a peaceful death at the age of 75 in 2006, but I can't really express how your absence have left a void in my heart, keep resting baba.
And to the first man I have ever loved Austin Agbede, you died of jaundice in 1998, no GSM then for your family to contact me in school when you fell ill and eventually died, the little boy of less than two years old you left behind is now a graduate serving in one of the Niger Delta State, he is your carbon copy, very tall like you, I miss you and I know your soul is resting.
I pray everyone here find solace in God. Let’s strive to make heaven where no death, pain, or sorrow occurs ❤️
ReplyDeleteI remember my cous Olu who died with her baby few months after my TM in 2017, spoke to her that morning and her last words still pierced my hearts. she was my backbone and confidant cont. to RIP Olu, you died at your prime and left nothing behind to remind us about you. It is well with all the departed soul.
ReplyDeleteI would have rem my dad but his death was caused by him and his mother just to get at my mum. He would have still be alive if he had listened to his wife. He left us at a young age so his death sometimes isn't painful cos of the circumstances surrounding it. May his soul cont. to RIP. He died in 1999 and i was just 11 *sad*
Dear parents for the sake of your kids protect your lives with your life, except for natural cause may we not die careless death in Jesus name.
I have lost a lot of family members and it has been so painful, but losing my Mum last year took me completely unaware.
ReplyDeleteI still cry every now and then when I think about every one of them.
Losing a loved one humble us.
Sigh. May God console you and grant eternal rest to the departed souls.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm,I remember my dad,..2015,we lost him,it really affected me cos I was so close to him,then my elder bro,.2023,he became a father to us after the demise of my dad,he got a good job 2019,got married 2021,only to die 2023,my mum especially was shattered,the boy everyone was looking up to,uptil now she still cries, especially when need arises,I pray God blesses the rest of us to help her,I miss them
ReplyDeleteDear dad continue to rest in peace, my dad wept like a baby on my wedding ☹️. I am grateful for having him as a father.
ReplyDeleteI won’t participate in the memorial, but death is so incredibly final. Once a person is gone from this earth, they are gone completely and utterly forever.
ReplyDeleteYou are so wrong. Jesus appeared to some men and told them that he wasnt a ghost. ..meaning they exist and lives amongst us
DeleteAnd where is Jesus today, is he here on earth?
DeleteI miss my Dad 😭😭(August 2001) he was everything I ever wanted in a father,kind, loving, peaceful and caring.
ReplyDeleteMay your soul rest in peace Daddy 🙏
My mom,my support system May 2018, I am still nursing the high blood pressure your death caused , you left without saying goodbye to your only child.
To say I miss my mom is an understatement,the wound is still fresh 😭😭😭
I feel so lonely without you mom.
May your soul continue to rest in peace 🙏🙏
🤗🤗
DeleteI remember my close friend in high school, she passed after we finished writing waec. It was so painful that I kept seeing her in my dreams for a long time. It got me really scared.
ReplyDeleteYou were fun to be with and there was never a dull moment with you.
Keep resting Bimpe Akomolafe😥💔💔
I also remember an old friend Mandy, rest on champ!
My dad, 2021. As much as it hurts, I am glad he went to rest. It was painful to watch a very vibrant man turned into a vegetable. Towards his last days, my dad became so small that you could pack him into a bagco bag. That was what sickness turned him into. He was a very huge man. Continue to rest in peace dad.
ReplyDeleteWhere do I start from?..Sobs..can the pains ever vanish in this life? I watched you suffer so much pains for years Papa as you struggle with Cancer. At some point, I begged God to take you away to ease the pains. If only I knew that even in death the pains never goes away. Keep resting in the bossom of the Lord Papa, I still miss your early morning calls to check on me. kindly come back to me as a son to give me the closure I needed.
ReplyDeleteAnother blow hit me last year, My beloved uncle, one soul trying his best to fill the void my Dad created, all for him to just slump and died without any sign of sickness.
His death made me question God" why do you always take away the good people in our midst leaving us with the wicked ones?" Till this day I'm still trying to get an answer to my question. Till we meet again beloved uncle.
My loving dad 2019....
ReplyDeleteMy Sweet sister ...2023 October..

ReplyDeleteWhere do I start from? I am so emotional right now! I lost my dad 1996 after my waec! My dad is one in a million, a graduate of economics from Unilag, former sss , deputy director highly intelligent man. A loving father who was dedicated to us his children. Dad I miss you a lot. I lost my elder sister Bukky 2015. The best dancer in our house so full of life but died out of carelessness. I lost my mother 2016.. She was our pillar so supportive and kind. My mum can remove her eyes for you to help you. She taught us how to cook by locking us in the kitchen with her while she was cooking. I miss all of them but I dwell on the good memories I had with them! I am orphan but still have my other siblings and aunties who still care about us as a family. I know they are resting with God! Till we meet to part no more! I miss you guys!😪😪
ReplyDeleteOh we poor orphans🤗🤗💔
DeleteI will always miss you Jayden,my son who was born still. I pray to God always to return you to me. I can never recover till God restores,I know he will . RIP to my SIL we lost last yr December,you are irreplaceable. I'm happy you knew I cared and loved you...rest on.
ReplyDeleteReading all the comments above brought tears 😭 from my eyes. It reminded me of the death of my dear dad, who died of partial stroke in February, 2017. Summary of the cause of the death was poverty because the children at that time couldn't pay his rent and landlord was on his neck,which triggered his BP. I remember always. I told my other siblings that, if only he was alive, he would've been enjoying by now. I remember him all the time with tears 😭 in my eyes like now. God knows best. He knows I love him so much. Continue to rest in the Bossom of the Lord Papa.
ReplyDeleteMy late mum died (2016), i miss you, one in a million. Keep on resting in the lord.
ReplyDeleteMy late younger brother(2023) its not easy , im still in shock, i smill as i remember all the good mermories with you. Rest in peace.
I remember my dad. My very best friend. The man who made me who I am, a typical daddy's girl. How we loved to goof and laugh. A man who's not ashamed to slave, just so his family can feed. Oh my daddy...
ReplyDeleteMy first heartbreak in life was when I lost you
I remember my mum, my beautiful mummy. My oshosho mummy, the funniest English teacher alive. The woman who made me yearn so much for a girl child cos I wanted to pass such beautiful relationship we had to my daughter. And didn't live to meet the granddaughter 😭... The woman who didn't give up on me, a very sickly child. The woman who ran outside, barely dressed cos I passed out. Oh mummy, you suffered for me. When everyone wrote me off, you slept days at the hospital... "My daughter will not die. I will not bury my child..." Now I'm about to bury you. Oh my mummy💔💔
I have the most beautiful parents... But look at me now😥
Damn! I've lost so much in life. A part of me is completely empty.
May her sweet soul continue to RIP IJN
Delete🤗🤗
DeleteLove,light and peace sis 💐💐
DeleteMiss my mum[2007] just turned some decades and trying to figure my way around uni, lost my self at some points then my dad[2019] when Nigeria conspired to happen to you.
