Another birthday and another reminder that you are not here. I still miss you so so much. Dein na si me....

Happy birthday darling grand pa. Miss you still, papa.

Such a great man can never be forgotten! Nigeria was blessed the day he was born. We celebrate such a patriot forever!

Papa i bet you are very happy, now that your beloved wife has joined you in glory land. you are now reunited to continue your great love affair. Just like you, she left on a Sunday and something tells me you were right there to receive her. I love you both and will miss you forever. Thank you for being a part of my life.

"Those we love don't go away,
they walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.""

Yes, indeed, it is like yesterday, his passing. Today, my dad should have been 97 years of age. I miss him all the time. Coming to grips with his demise is quite difficult but the fact that I know he made heaven is quite refreshing. I love you dad. You were the best. You live on in my mind and now I have a reason to be happier because you are back here.

People say, `time heals wounds` but this is a wound I want to live with all the days of my life. Not pain but happiness to know that my dad was a wonderful father. I remember him always and cherish all the good times we shared.

Just as my sister said above, even after 16 years it still hurts as hell not to have my grand dad here. I have a son who is named after him and any time I look at Nathan he reminds me ever so much of you Papa, same smile, same folding in of his lips and he even has a birthmark on his back just like you. Sometimes I think Papa has re-incarnated in my son. I love u loads n wish u were here.

It still hurts.
