Chidinma-Felicia Okoro

At this your 10th year anniversary, I will like to express my sincere gratitude to you for all the love you gave me, you patiently tolerated my bad habits. I am glad you saw me worthy to share your great but short life.

Having you in my life, was the best dream come true. Since you have left this world, words cannot describe the emptiness inside me even after 10 years. I get so lost without you but I am sure you are with the Lord. You are with angels singing and praising the Almighty whom you served while on earth with all your heart. You can no longer be seen by human eye, but your soul and love that you gave so many will never die. They kids are so grown now, Chidike is now in college, they remember howPrincipled, pragmatic and practical you were. I ask that you continue to intercede for us.

You were joy to be with, you gave joy, and now you are being rewarded with that same joy and peace that you gave to those who loved you here on earth. Thank you Chidi, I love you and still miss you more than words can say.

Chidinma, my darling beautiful wife. It’s eight years today that you answered your call from our God to come home. Your spirit lives on and you will never be forgotten. Your beautiful spirit will live on through your children, Chidube, Chetachi and Chidike. They will always know how much you loved them.
Always in our minds Chidube, Chetachi, Chidike and Ike.

Chidinma my love, my heart is full of memories, with pride I speak your name though life goes on without you, it will never be the same. I miss having you to talk to. As I'm sitting here writing this, it's hard not to shed tears, I still grieve, but so does the Kids. I try not to think about you too often, because when I do, I miss you even more. Its six years today since you had to leave us. But it hasn't gotten easier for me. It sucks that you have missed so many milestones in all of our lives -- birthdays, driver licenses, high school graduations  and acceptance letters, just to mention a few. But I want you to know that we always know when you try to make your presence obvious. We know when you're with us; when you try to help guide us down the right path, and when you just want to say hello.

Always know that there isn't a moment that you are not missed. You were more than loved by every single one of us and we were all grateful to have had the time with you that we got. The world sometimes seems a little bit darker with you gone, but I know you'll always be shining down on us in our time of need. You lived much of your life with me in it, and I don't like that I have to live much of my life without you in mine. Living without you has been a big adjustment.Thank you for being such a big part of my life,for being an example to me. Even after you left this earth, I have learned so much from you. I appreciate every little thing you have ever done for me. You will always be loved and you will always be missed.

We hope that you send us more signs that you are still watching over us, anything helps. We have not heard from you for some time now, your messages is very reassuring and calming, it gives us hope. I promise to carry out most of your messages, because I love you dearly.

Thank you for helping me. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for teaching me. And thank you for being such a huge factor in my life. I will never forget you, Chidinma. As Irving Berlin would say, “The song is ended but the melody lingers on…”
