Dear father,
ReplyDeleteIt has been 3 years since you are not here, and I can tell you that is a huge lost for me and all the family. Your death was so unpredictable that I felt so dumb when you were gone. I had my baccalaureat last year with honors. I'm sure you are proud of me. Now, I'm studying business administration in Al Akhawayn University which is a great place despite the fact that I regret not have pursuit my studies in London, but I'm planning to do a transfer. Concerning my social life, I don't have a lot of friend, just a little circle of people that I do like a lot as you have always said to " You don't need anybody, choose people that makes you feel comfortable".
I hope you are good where you are. I love you.
Your lovely daughter.
Beautifully written. I am sure your father is very proud of you.
DeleteDear lovely grandmother,
ReplyDeleteI miss you so much. Your lost marked my life, even if I was a still a little girl when you left this wild world. There have been a lot of ups and downs since you passed away. I live now a very different life from the one I used to live before. I think that I am happy; I feel comfortable and confident towards every step and move I make; therefore, I do my best to complete my goals. There were many times when I wished you were here to support me, guide me, and show me how to deal with everything. There were also times when I wanted you to be here just to be proud of me, of my achievements, and of my choices. Grandmother, I know I was naughty and silly when I was a kid; thus, I annoyed you and yelled at you sometimes, but I want you now to know that I really regret all the things that I shouldn't have done. Besides, I want to tell you that you can rest in peace because your family, children, and grandchildren are doing extremely great. We love you to the moon and back, and we will love you forever and always. Rest in peace my dear.
Wissal
Your grandmother would absolutely appreciate this.
DeleteDear Sister,
ReplyDeleteWhen you died,you left a huge vacuum in all the family members .I wish you’re now alive, because I want to show you more love than that I had shown you last years, also I wish I spent with you a lot of time ; playing with you … After your death I’ve had two other sisters ,but neither the oldest nor the youngest are similar to you even if they’re cute and noisy sometimes. At this time, I ‘m treating them the best treatment to forget your lost. In addition to that; in your absence many things (beautiful and bad) happened. Such as, we traveled to many places and visited different historical places. Also, our oldest brother went to Meknes for his studies, and I went to Ifrane . Now I’m studying In AUI, and I’m specialized in the business administration.
Your brother
A very sweet letter to your sister. Wonderful.
DeleteDear Grandpa,
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you that you’re always in my heart, and thank you for being the most wonderful grandfather I could ever ask for. I know it sounds selfish, but I want you back in my life again. I miss you so much, and think about you every day. The day that you left I couldn’t stop crying all day and night. I would never stop visiting your grave and talk to you whenever I’ll want to be near you. Your death hurts a lot, but I’m sure you’re in a better place now. I always have a long cry remembering the good times we had together. You’ve been gone for almost 10 years now, but there still some days when I miss you like you just died yesterday.
I love you always and forever,
Your grandchild Fedoua.
I feel the same way about my lost grandfather. Good writing!
DeleteDear Grandma,
ReplyDeleteIt is been eight months now that you passed away, but I had so many things to tell you before that I couldn’t. First, I really miss you; everybody miss you here, but don’t worry we are doing fine. I know that life wasn’t easy for you, and that you tried to teach us everything about the secrets of life before going with lot of courage and patient. Since you passed away, I asked myself many question about “how could you be this much courageous, patient and kind in a world where illusion of happiness is dominated?” Few days later, I was in a very bad mood: I was depressed, crying all the time and trying to be someone that I am not, but I remembered how you were and how you were living with a beautiful smile on your angelic face. This picture that I will never forget saved me from a long and terrible depression because I felt everything that you were trying to teach us since we were kids. Do you know that when you were in the hospital, I was regretting all the times that I couldn’t come to visit you at home? Well, now you know. I always knew that you were someone very special that no one can replace, but I couldn’t come to visit you especially when you were sick because I was very afraid to see you suffering in front of me. I couldn’t handle it and I am very sorry grandma. Moreover, I want to tell you how much I want to thank you about all the storied that I was used to listen from you. You helped me to know more about my mother and my aunts and to become more close to them.
Thank you a lot grandma and sorry again,
Your little Yasmine.
Grandmothers live on forever when you retell their stories to the next generation.
DeleteDear Marwa,
ReplyDeleteI was really chocked when I heard about your loss. When this chock worn off, I started crying and
screaming tell I had no tears left. I might have managed to fall asleep in the evening but when I woke up
I realized that it wasn’t a dream or a terrible nightmare; it was reality. My eyes started melting with the
heat of my tears flowing repetitively. I was so depressed and despaired of life. You left me hanged alone
with no friends . Do you still remember what we have done together? What moments we have shared?
I do, and will never forget you Marwa.
Your best friend;
Jihane
I am so sorry for your loss of your good friend.
DeleteDear sister from another parents,
ReplyDeleteHere I'm back as the end of each month. I know that you're okay as long as you are in good hands while me I am lost here without my pillar and my binomial. Certainly this letter you will not receive it such as the previous ones, but I'm sure you see me now and you already know what I will write about. Even if you are far I am sure that you live with me every single moment.
Last month I have spent my break in Casablanca. Normally when I used to come back during the weekend I did not have much time to go out , but this time it was a whole month so I had the opportunity to go out several times . Coincidentally it was only our favorable places that I went to. Once there, there was a movie of our memories that I have seen a lot of times, but each time it was the first and I did not have enough. Before I travelling with my family I visited your family. At the beginning I was hesitant to go I was afraid to burst into tears, but I said that it will make you happy to come back like you were here. I had to restrain myself not to cry next to your parents, but it was stronger than me your photos were in most parts of the house. I guess I must stop with my drama. Before forgetting there was a positive thing that I have seen there: your room is the same as you left it, and it's all clean since you're maniac. Your parents take care of it as if you lived there.
Well, it was the debriefing of the month and what I quoted was the most important moment I experienced the last month and I wanted to share it . So catch up next month the same place at the same time with Soulaima’s adventures.
Soulaima.
I'm glad your take your lost friend in your heart wherever you go.
DeleteDear proof,
ReplyDeleteI know my words are years late however feelings keep taking over me and everyday tasks of life suddenly seem tasteless those letters are digging deeper and enlarging the hole in my heart after losing you, so please excuse my selfishness and wherever you are this paragraph is dedicated to you .Of the many things I wish I had told you is I love you .Your presence meant the world to me, and most of my achievement would have stood dreams without you. You who always seemed to believe in me even when I have ceased to believe in my own self. I would like more than anything in the world to apologize; after you passed away my eyes no longer recognized colors smells or tastes I was completely lost moreover I went on drugs and ignored my responsibilities nevertheless I wish I could thank you once again because it’s your light that has given me the strength and motivation to rise once again and claim recovery. Not many are lucky enough to have a guardian angel like you and once again wherever you are I want you to keep watching me because from now on I promise that there will be no going back. I am carrying the childhood thirsty dreams we had on one hand and using the other to push all the obstacles away.
you'll never leave my heart .
your Doody
Houda, I am sure your guardian angel is watching over you always.
DeleteDear grandpa,
ReplyDeleteYou can't imagine how much I miss you, I can't believe it's been three years that you left us. You left too early grandpa, I would give anything just to see you smile again or hear one of your jokes, I know that I have never said it but I love you so much and you have always been like a second father to me, I've always imagined you playing with my kids and teaching them all the knowledge you have, I wish I had spent more time with you so I can learn from you, you were an encyclopedia I always though about it but never told you. I wanted also to say that I'm sorry, sorry because I didn't come to the hospital that day, I've always though that I'll see you again, and sorry for not doing medicine, but I've been admitted to AUI and I promise, I won't disappoint you or my parents.
Loosing you killed me inside, I miss you like crazy, no day passes by without thinking of you, I know that you hate to see me cry but what would I do now that you're gone, you were the only one who was capable to make me smile even when in my worst time, I'm sorry for that too,I'm devastated but I'm trying to hold on... Anyways, I hope that you're not too mad at me, and that you're doing great, I love you grandpa, sending you big hugs and billion kisses. Rest in peace.
Sara
It's terrible to lose a grandfather. This is a beautiful tribute letter.
DeleteDear Grandfather,
ReplyDeleteLoosing you was the most horrible moment in my life. Since your death, everything has changed. You were like my father and like my best friend. I’m now 20 years old and studying engineering in Al Akhawayn University.I preferred return to study in Morocco because I really don’t liked France even if I succeeded there. I really miss our discussions about life and miss your wisdom which had helped me in many difficult situations. I know that you’re doing well where you are. I hope that I make you proud. I know that one day we will meet again.
Your grand-son,
Reda
Beautifully written, Reda. I know that your grandfather meant so much to you.
DeleteDear cousin,
ReplyDeleteYou can never imagine how much I miss you, I can't believe that it's been a month since you left us. You were so young and you didn't deserve to die that way. Dying in a car accident is such a terrible thing. You called me the night before you died and wanted to see me and now I feel so bad cause I couldn't see you. When I heard that while you were coming back to Fes you had that terrible accident and that you died I was so shocked that I couldn't believe it, I didn't want to. Knowing that you won't be here anymore is so hard. I hoped that we had more time to spend together, but sometimes life is unfair. I want you to know that you were such a special person that no words are really adequate. You always brought pleasure to everyone that you knew and that's why no one will ever forget you.
Your little cousin
Losing a family member so young is devastating. I am sorry for your loss, Zineb.

ReplyDeleteDear Lina,
ReplyDeleteI never knew that life could be as tough as hell, not even a thought. It has been two years since you passed away. You were the best friend anyone can ask for. I never knew how much you were close to me until you were gone. The first day we met was in school, and we did not really like each other from the first time, yet with time we became like sisters. We couldn’t do anything without each other. In one day everything changed. I couldn’t believe that a silly car accident could take you away from us. Everyone is still in shock even though it’s been two years now. You have no idea how empty we feel. It’s like that sun won’t come up anymore. Your family, friends and I got crazy when we got a phone call saying that you died from a car accident. We just couldn’t believe such a thing. If we could only see you one more time, we’d tell you how much we love you. We all miss you so much.
Sudden deaths with young people are so terrible. I am sure your friend Lina is now one of your guardian angels.
DeleteDear grandfather
ReplyDeleteIt has been 15 years since I haven’t seen you. Though the fact that I was young when you left, and that I don’t remember you well, I really missed you. Yes that’s right. I still remember the day when you went. I still remember the fact that I was one of the last ones who held your hand. I have never heard someone saying bad things about you. All I heard about you is the way your personality was alsome. You were a good man, a wise imam and a wonderful father. Every time my father talks about you, he says always the same thing: “I would give everything to see and talk with him again, even for one minute.” Many people tell me that I looked like you. I hope that I would have the same strong and pure personality as you. I hope your proud of me. May Allah bless you and have mercy on your pure soul.
Your grandson Wail
It is good that you look so much like your grandfather. I am sure that makes your father very happy, so that in a different way, this father is still with him. Good writing.
DeleteDear Grandfather,
ReplyDeleteIt’s been six months since you left us. It was a big lose for me since I passed 17 years of my life seeing you, hearing you and felling your warmth. When I heard that you were death, I couldn’t believe it. It was 15 days before the baccalaureate test, and I couldn’t stop thinking about you.
I remember the magic effect that you had on me. You could make me laugh for nothing, and you could give me the strength that I need for my studies and for confronting life. I remember the day when you give me you watch. It’s the precious thing that I have till know. However, no one could change the destiny. That what Allah wants, and I should accept it. Thank you Grandpa for teaching me seriousness.
Omar
I am sure your grandfather is very proud of you!
DeleteDear Omar
ReplyDeleteIt has been over a year that your cancer has picked you up from this world. You were more that a friend for me. Things that we have shared together cannot be forgotten. You have always kept your smile even when you were feeling really bad. I was younger than you, and you were an idol whom I always wanted to follow. Even if I have spent too much time with you when you were fighting cancer, I feel that I could have done better to help, or like I have missed something. Since you have left us, I am not living the same way. Matches of football that we used to watch together don’t make me feel excited anymore. It is like if all these soccer games are missing a twelfth player. That player is you. Radio also doesn’t sound the same. Even food and drinks don’t taste the same as it used to do. I really miss Omar, and your sudden death has left an enormous hole inside my hurt.
Your best friend, Nawfal.
This is a great piece of writing, Noufal. Excellent work. I am sure your friend Omar is still guiding you in spirit.
DeleteDear grandfather,
ReplyDeleteI am writing today to express in a few words what I could not tell you when you were still alive. Life can be cruel sometimes. I know you were predestined to live very long, unfortunately you have fallen under the hands of incompetent doctors if we can still call them so. I was only 6 months at the time but I know you through the stories of my mother. I know you was a great man with principles, and that you instilled to my mother a perfect education. I also know that you were one of the most valued people in your city and even now your name circulating in the streets. I never heard anyone say anything bad about you which proves everything I said before. It is often said that a good man remains in people's hearts long after his death and you are the person who confirms this rule. You were strict, severe, sometimes even rude, but you were always right. You're one of my biggest inspirations, you did not have much money, and you were alone take care of the needs of my grandmother and your 10 children and fortunately all were successful. I would give anything to see you, hold you in my arms and tell you that sentence that I did not have time to tell you but you have probably read in my eyes "I love you".
your little son Housni
It's wonderful to have had a person in your life that was such an inspiration to you, Housni. You are a lucky grandson.
DeleteI actually didn't lost anyone so I don't know how people below felt while writing those comments, and I don't want to know it, but I have to write about a lost loved one anyway, thus I will talk about our precedent king Hassan II.
ReplyDeleteDear, Hassan II,
I'm writing to you to tell you that you don't have to be worried about us, Moroccans, neither about our holy land. You really knew how to raise your children, and our current King Mohamed VI is doing the same thing with you grand-son. I wasn't here when you were ruling Morocco, but my parents and a big number of videos were sufficient to inform me about your method of controlling such a big population. I heard, read, and saw that you were intelligent, elegant, polite, and a man with wisest words ever. A little paragraph can never be enough to describe or even explain one of your best citations. Without forgetting that being respected by a person that said his first word ever after your death is a good striking point. I send you from here tons of thanks and appreciations and hope that you're comfortable in your grave.
Rest in peace Hassan II.
Achraf Bouhi.
You are very lucky to not be touched by such loss, yet. This is a great alternative, though, writing to the passed King Hassan. I am glad to see that you had so much admiration for the work of your former king.
DeleteDear Samia,
ReplyDeleteToday, it is going to be 5 years that you passed away. Five year of silent pain that I did not share with anyone. That I don’t want to share with someone because I don’t want to see their desolately, wounded and sad looks. You were my best friend, the one with whom I was doing everything. The most important person in my life. Since I was young, you were my only friend. Even if you were tasting my nerves sometimes, you were the kindest person I have ever met. There are things that we did not realize their real value until we lose them. You talked to me for hours in order to plan how our lives will be. How we going to study at the same university and how we will be traveling each year to a new place. Now, you are gone. You left your family, me, and our dreams behind. My letter now came to end, and I still don’t believe that you are not with me anymore...
Very good vocabulary here. You know, you can always take Samia with you on your adventures and in your life in spirit.

ReplyDeleteDear kenza
It has been 5 years since you are not here . Life has been different since you're gone . After your death my life has upset , my plans have changed because we had all planned together from high school to the university . You were my friend,my sister , my confidant . I am so sad that you quit this world earlier than it should be .I will miss you forever and i hope that you are happy of how i am now ; the independent girl. I think I will never find a friend like you . You were my best friend and you will stay it forever .
Your best friend Salma .
I am sure that your friend Kenza is still guiding you in spirit and that she is with you always.
DeleteDear best friend,
ReplyDeleteI will never be the same after the death of my best friend Anas.He was more than a best friend, he was my brother. I lost him last year, I wasn´t ready for his death, but in 2014 he moved on anyway.I found my self alone and against the world, he was very ambitious and I can still see him in my present. we played every game together , and we visited many places together. You were my best friend and you will stay always in my heart, I really miss you and I hope to meet again in paradise.
otman
I am sure in many ways, Anas will always be with you in the memories you carry.
DeleteTo my loving auntie,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I couldn't write to you sooner. I wasn't sure if I am ready till I started writing, I was denying what had happened, but I can say that, lately, I am getting over it and started to admit it all for good and once. I hope you are doing well up there.
Well, things has changed since you left us, pretty expected hen? You left a big gap no one could ever full. Every corner in the house reminds me of you, and every little thing remembers me of our memories together. Mom couldn't do without you; of course you were the inseparable sisters, she took a lot of time to recover from your lost. But don’t worry she is okay now.
In a blink of an eye you left us, we didn't get the chance to say goodbye, and it was hard for me to understand like adults do, the little girl of that time had no idea what is death about. She couldn't swallow it at once, she thought of bad things, life was so unfair, hard and meaningless to her.
I wish we had more time together there’s so much things I wanted to say. I've heard that “words can only help you if you speak them “well, I love you I've always loved you, you were and still special to me, you will never be forgotten. I’d rather go now to every place we sat together one day and remember all the good things that happened to us and the problems we fixed together as a strong family, and then a smile will be drawn at my face.
Yours.
This is a very well-written tribute letter to your Aunt. She is lucky to have had a niece like you.
DeleteTo my uncle,
ReplyDeleteYou left us 2 months ago. I know that you were sick, and that you were in the hospital, but all the family was shocked when they heard about your death. When you died, I was in University in Ifrane. My dad didn´t want to tell me about you. I knew it when I came back to Rabat on the weekend. I was devastated and very sad. Your children and your wife were crying. I didn´t know you much but my father always tells me that you were proud of me and that you knew me very well. I would have like to know you more. Rest in peace dear uncle
Karim, your nephew
Good writing, Karim. Very heartfelt.
DeleteDear greatgrandmother,
ReplyDeleteIt has beenalmost two years that you left us. Today I am writing this letter to you in order to tell you how much I missyou and also to say some things that I didn’t have the chance to tell you when you were with us. You were a very beautiful women despite your age, smiling all the time. You were always there for me in the good and badmoments, motivating me in order to doing better. You taught me a lot of things that serve me in my dailylife such as being patient and also learning from mistakes. Every word you said has an impact on me,you were the only person that make feel happy and better when I was in bad mood. You taught me alsothat life isn’t eternal and we must enjoy it the best we can but with limitations, and also to do good things in our planet in order to not to pass unnoticed and leave its mark even after his death. Today I would do anything to see you again, it’s the destiny of Allah and we can’t change that I love you so much and I hope that you are enjoying your life there because a women like you deserve it.
