We appreciate the life we had with you and all the empasis on education which by the grace of God, we transferred to our kids, this legacy! Thank you as we celebrate this legacy and many others. Attached is the picture of St. Joseph School when it was inagurated by His Emperor Haile Selassie in 1961 where you sent me to complete my High School. It has become the highlight of my career all these years. Thank you. I also attached a picture of the family and your grand children where we got together at mom's birthday celebration in October, 2022. Please pray for us as we pray for you!

Dear father blessings and you are now near the Christ and God the father. Reminding you as always when the world is more and more uncertain. 

Syoum Negash, I cannot no longer see you with my eyes, or touch you with my hands, or touch your hair i used to, but I will feel you in my heart and miss you only every day and only every moment. The memory I have for you remains anchored in my heart. Whenever my mind wanders to look for you, I find the way back to my memories of you. It always pains me to see you near by but no touching, it always pains me to see you far but not seeing. May you be always near by so I can feel you. I miss you and miss you always.

Grandma is reaching 91. Praise the Lord. You both are 91 now.

Dear Papa, i felt so special on birthdays, especially yours the last one we celebrate on your 90th birthday going to church. Today you are 105 years old, years are not short for God, but too little and too short ; i felt the 91 years/49 years went by without knowing them; without living them with you. So much regrets; i hope you forgive me.....
Happy birthday Syoum Negash

Happy Birthday Father,

Thank you for being with us as long as you did Seyoum Negash. It is a blessing to have a father looking after all the demands life presents us with. You have provided the guidance, taught us in your own way, you know how at the time.
Life has so many challenges and demands us to be stronger at the end. The purity of gold is tested with fire and we are also tested with the challenges of life.
Your being in our life shielded us from all those challenges.
We only worry for the things we can control. We can only pray for the blessings of God to descend upon us and progress your soul towards the Almighty God.
Thank you for being with us, educating us, caring for all of us in your own way. You helped us understand the intricacies of life through all the books you exposed us with all our life with you.
We are celebrating your earthly life and now remembering you in your heavenly life!!

Happy birthday and Happy Father’s Day as it is celebrated here in the US.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Seyoum Negash

Happy birthday Seyoum Negash 

Wolde Michael was prayed on both Saturday and Sunday Kidasse’s  I know you are listening and watching. Mezekeria is served. May you rest in peace

On this day, remembering you Syoum Negash; my feeling that i need you at this very time is priceless. I wish I knew better to take the chances i had and never regret anything... but it is me, Papa, all the harm I did; all the golden chances I did not take.. what can I do now, all is gone. I so much regret the best ever time I had have will have with you. You were you are and will ever be my world and the center of my world. Regret and regret ... belonging to an era that is gone and never coming back it is deeply hurting. Keeping you in my prayers. 

Reposes en paix, Père en ce jour de la fête de la Conception de Marie, que tu célébrais beaucoup.

May your beautiful soul rest peace

Rest In Eternal Peace Seyoum Negash 

Happy Birthday, Father

“A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way” – from unknown. I read this the other day when thinking of you; and today it seems to be “father day” and I found it again on the internet. I would say you were the anchor to hold me back when I do mistakes and when I am about to fail, and the sail to take me there when I pursue my dream; and indeed, the guiding light with your prayers to show me the way. I miss you a lot. Waking up this morning, without knowing it until now I was low and missing something somewhere, now I know and I realized that I miss you every second. Joyeux anniversaire papa, be safe and keep us in your prayers.

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy birthday

Dear Seyoum Negash
Celebrating your life and wishing you to rest in peace. I offer this Bahai prayer for the Departed for the progress of your soul to the presence of God as I do every day.

O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions!

Verily, I beseech thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.

O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá



 

En Jesus notre Seigneur Jesus Christ, Paix avec toi.

Dearest Syoum Negash, I saw you as a blink last night and stayed awake but closed my eyes hoping to see you again; you were in white with a wand / mekoimia at hand and a smile that I never recall; it gave me some warm in my heart and revived souvenirs; all the good things we did together, all the books we read together; all the roads we drove together; all the meals we shared together; sitting or standing or sleeping together or by your side; looking forward to another path, but God’s decision has come first. And now I see you in a better place. I can feel now that father/daughter bond will never be apart or split. Syoum Negash you will never be forgotten, you will ever and always be remembered. 

May you Rest In Peace

Happy Birthday Seyoum Negash.

Happy Birth Day Seyoum Negash

Joyeux anniversaire au Ciel SYOUM NEGASH

Happy Birthday Seyoum Negash!

Happy heavenly birthday Seyoum Negache !!

Pour te dire que tes livres ont repris leurs places habituelles et la liste est refaite et presque prête. J’avais quelques choses à te dire, mis je les garde pour le moment. Tu ne peux pas imaginer que le vide s’intensifie au fur et à mesure que la distance s’aggrandit et le temps passe et quitte le jour J. Ton anniversaire est célébré aujourd’hui et tous les jours à partir de Seiko en passant par Gimja bet Mariam jusqu’à Addis Yeka Michael. Tu manques a beaucoup de personnes ..... trois points de suspension peuvent en dire long

May you Rest In Peace

Merry Christmas 

My remembrance and continued prayers are with you everyday. I beseech the grace of God surround you with His eternal love and kindness.

Here is the prayer for the Departed by Baha'u'llah, who fulfilled the promise of Christ that He will return In the Glory of the Father.

"O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries...."

Dearest Papa, the last two days were hard, thinking of the D day coming, made me feel sad. I never wish to be parted from you from that day on. I painfully made 4,018 days without you. The harsh reality of this, it is too heart breaking. And I cannot talk about it. I invaded your privacy all your papers out and back to make me feel near you. I wish you were here to guide me how to arrange them. I lost big time, and a lot, I know I will never be able to catch up the lost time; so much regrets and regrets
I am hoping for a miracle that I can see you soon. 

BONNE FÊTE DES PÈRES - as We remember you today - which is not far from
Your birthday. En prière avec le Seigneur.

Happy Father’s Day in Heaven Seyoum Negash!

There is no limitations in that beautiful realm you are residing in, Seyoum Negash. We have been given the glimpse of it through the latest Manifestation of God, the Return of Christ, Baha'u'llah, The Glory of God! He explained to all humanity that the World beyond is as different as the world we resided when we were in the womb. The world of the womb is limited, confining, can't see, anything, however, a beautiful development of the physical body happens. However, when one is born in this world he becomes free, can see, can walk, etc. That is exactly what happens in that beautiful heavenly realm where you are. Heavenly life, no limitation, full of light, limitless, no black and white, the soul has no color, no religion, no hate, no gender. We pray with you and for you and pray for us. Tamrat

Dearest Seyoum Negash,
Happy Birthday. In many-ways I think of you often. Since you are lear God, please pray for Ethiopia and world peace. 

Happy Birthday Seyoum Negache !

I cannot thank you enough to always being there to hold my hand. On everything I did I had always your support; I wish I knew better to have been at your side and did what you had done for me. Thank you for always being there to lend a helping hand. You always brought to me lots of love, happiness, and smiles, and with your prayers here where I am now. I wish I had realized it back then. Changes are hard and hurt too deep but I need to make an effort to need to accept it one day. And I am trying. Syoum Negash you are the only father I will always look up to. I wish I was patient enough to share your life’s biggest moments together; I wish I had the courage to encourage you to visit Seiko Kidane Mihiret with you; it would have been the biggest moment of our time; however I always cherish the time I was listening to you when you relate the stories of Seiko as your face, your eyes were shining, telling us as if we were looking at Seiko in front of us. You are with Her, the Mother you always prayed; happy birthday Syoum Negash until we see each other to celebrate it together. 

Happy birthday Seyoum Negash!

Dearest Seyoum Negash,
December 8, I always connected your journey to your Beloved God and the night before my journey to discover the new world to Czeck as well as your fatherly advice to me for the new life. Now I feel empty; you are not here for light of guidance. I know one thing you are in heaven to pray for all of your children for love, wisdom and protection. Please keep us in your prayer as usual. This time, I need the heavily support more for light of guidance . I love you I miss you. I will talk to you soon in my prayers and spirt. With love, Hebre

We all remembered you today, Raphael the first one, will be 18 in one week, Alexandre 14 years old, Christophe and I.
May you rest in peace and your prayers keeps us awake and faithful to God. As Almight is the spirit of our life. You taught us that every minute of your life. Rest in peace.

This is the precious prayer I offer for you everytime. This is a tribite for your wonderful soul from the Bahai sacred texts.

"O my God! O my God! Verily, Thy servant, humble before the majesty of Thy divine supremacy, lowly at the door of Thy oneness, hath believed in Thee and in Thy verses, hath testified to Thy word, hath been enkindled with the fire of Thy love, hath been immersed in the depths of the ocean of Thy knowledge, hath been attracted by Thy breezes, hath relied upon Thee, hath turned his face unto Thee, hath offered his supplications to Thee, and hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness. He hath abandoned this mortal life and hath flown to the kingdom of immortality, yearning for the favor of meeting Thee.

O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries.

Verily, Thou art the Generous, the Powerful, the Forgiver and the Bestower.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá"


Humbly Tamrat

10 years that you have gone to your Heavenly Father! It seemed like yesterday that we said bye to you. Remembering you and always ... May you Rest In Peace

Darius sings « happy birthday Seyoum Negash » as he does every year, but this year he told me « Seyoum Negash is in Heaven mom ». As much as I wanted him to sing, I at the same time was proud to see he understood where you are: in Heaven with the angels. So Darius is growing knowing lots of things I know you’re proud of « negoussou » as you use to call him. Xo

Dearest Syoum Negache, 101 years old, I wish you were here with us with me. I thought I did what was right, I thought I found and I have the answers; I thought I took the shortest road but that road brought me here; so I put up the fight against me; against nature; and I prayed how to help me; now just when I have given up you made it to 10 years, you made it to 100 years. Looking forward helped me to reach 100 years, to reach 10 years. The truth is coming clear; you know better than I, you know better the way; I have to let you go; it breaks my heart. I find it and convinced myself this has been a test but could not see the reason. May be knowing that I don’t know is partly getting me through, getting through me. I tried to do what is best and faith has made it easy to see the best thing I can do: prayers, the way you thought me. I prayed Syoum Negache, I prayed hard. I am alone and you are alone but in a better place. May you rest in peace. As promised, Syoum Negache I will stop crying after 8 December 2019, until I see you again. Miss you dearly.

Good morning Seyoum Negash. It is overwhelming to learn it has been 9 years ago you ascended to the Kingdom of God. You would have been 100 years (A Century) young were you alive this year!
Thank you for the many years of my childhood and growing up. Thank you for the best education you were able to provide me in high school which helped crafted my career. Next to God, you are the one I value for the many graces and blessings that came my way.
Thank you on this occasion when we celebrate your 91 years of earthly life with us. Let the grace and bounty of God engulf you.
Here is a Bahai prayer that beseeches God to pour His Bounty and Eternal Mercy.
O my God! O my God! Verily, Thy servant, humble before the majesty of Thy divine supremacy, lowly at the door of Thy oneness, hath believed in Thee and in Thy verses, hath testified to Thy word, hath been enkindled with the fire of Thy love, hath been immersed in the depths of the ocean of Thy knowledge, hath been attracted by Thy breezes, hath relied upon Thee, hath turned his face unto Thee, hath offered his supplications to Thee, and hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness. He hath abandoned this mortal life and hath flown to the kingdom of immortality, yearning for the favor of meeting Thee.
O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries.
Verily, Thou art the Generous, the Powerful, the Forgiver and the Bestower.

Today Edna is taking an entrance exam for middle school. Such a coincidence that it fell on your anniversary! Especially we all know on how you value education beyond anything ! Thinking of you on this exam day, I know you prayed, still praying for Edna and for us. I deeply felt you are watching over her today ! May you Rest In Peace

Dearest Syoum Negache, You were my world, you are my world, you will be my world, you will always be my world and the center of my world. I failed you Syoum Negache, you never failed nor left me behind neither besides, always upfront. Whenever I walk to your bed room I feel overwhelmed with joy, wonder, concern; I still feel this when I walk to your bedroom; but feel empty when I walk to the house. You filled it with grace that still floats and I still feel. Approaching the coming year will be hard to count ten years. Missing you and missing you every day.
