joyeux anniversaire

Il aurait eu 28 ans aujourd'hui...

Don't stand at my graveand weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep,I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.I am not there, I did not die!
Do not stand at my grave and weep.I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am the song that will never end.

I am the love of family and friend.

I am the child who has come to rest

In the arms of the Fatherwho knows him best.
When you see the sunset fair,I am the scented evening air.

I am the joy of a task well done.I am the glow of the setting sun.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.I am not there, I did not die!

Difficile de croire à la dure réalité lorsque je vois ces photos de PC et pourtant il faut que je me fasse à l'idée que mon cousin a disparu. Pc restera une personne mystérieuse que je ne pourrai plus découvrir...

Testimony from koffi

PC,

I still remember the day you took out of your busy schedule in November to come meet me for a couple of hours in Paris. It had been a wile since we met and it was a great pleasure meeting you again. I will never forget that day. Your smile and your calm will stay with me forever. You were a great role model to your younger brothers and sisters.

Rest in peace.

Koffi

It has been 3 months today since you tragically left us - and it still feels like a dream. I can't express to you how hard it is. At those moments when I want to talk to you most, I realize you are not there…I pick up the phone and dial your number (something I should have done more often)… and hear your voice on your answering machine, and at that moment I think to myself you are not here (physically at least)…. I think of all the great memories (and I cherish them so) and I can wait for when I see you again.

I miss you, WE miss you ever so dearly. It may seem silly that I sit here writing to you all the time. But I have to believe you are looking down on me and reading all these words I write. I have to keep my head up...

My birthday will never be the same…

For the first time in many years, I am not excited about my birthday. I am turning 22 this Wednesday, and for some reason I feel like I can't seem to get anything right in my life. I don't know if I am scared at the prospect of growing older or realizing that I AM growing old???

The hardest thing for me this year though, above all else….is that someone very special to me will not be around to send me the first message of the day, to be the first to call and to give me those tender words of encouragement and hope.

Every year since I can remember, PC made me feel like the most special girl in the world on my birthday…

I would like to share the message he sent me last year… I find myself reading it over and over again lately especially when am feeling down or when I need to refocus in life, because where I can from, I was taught to fight, to be strong and to remain focused! Every thing else will fall into place. You are gone but know that you are loved and missed dearly...

Bon anniversaire

Nina,

Je suis content de pouvoir te souhaiter un bon vingt et unième anniversaire. Je peux me vanter en te disant que je t'ai vu grandir petite(hahaha). C'est vrai tu as bien grandi.

Je suis fier de toi au point où pour moi tu es une référence pour les filles de ton âge.

Bon, je suis (nous sommes) content de toi. Mais ça ne veut pas dire que tu es parfaite(haha). Je te souhaite seulement de continuer à bien grandir en ce nouvel anniversaire. Comme cela nous serons encore plus fiers de toi.

Attention: Ici grandir ne signifie pas grandir physiquement seulement, ça veut dire aussi a lot of good grades and good behaviour and so on(hahaha). Je sais qe tu avais compris.

Bon anniversaire.
