You may delete phone numbers at anytime you feel it's okay for you emotionally. But if you have to delete pictures, make sure you save it (back-up) somewhere else, because in the nearest future, you will need it so badly. Before my mum died in 2009, we pleaded with both of our parents to take a photograph together, but both of them always gave one excuse or the other. It was not until some months agos ( 3 years after she passed away ) that we took a photo of her's and merged it with a personal photo of my dad. If we had deleted/destroyed those pictures of hers, no one would have forgiven us. So please backup the photos in several locations online, for later use. |

An emotional thread indeed.....lost my dad in 2OO7 but his number is still etched in my mmry. Resaved it in my phone months ago even though the line has been reallocated. I still have my good friend and an uncle's contacts. Both died this year and i dont think I'd ever delete their BBM/phone numbers. Its comforting, in a weird way, seeing their contacts. |

Still have sister's no who was killed by a hit and run driver. I'm not thinking of deleting it soon. My only last memory of her was talking to her on the same line! |

With everyone, it's different. Personally, I would delete the number as soon as the funeral's over. It's not like I can ever call the deceased with it. And I also feel it's unhealthy to hang onto it. This is my humble opinion, others will do what's best for themselves. |

What an emotional thread! Even though dad died in the early 90s, still can't forget I never get to speak with him before is untimely death but I hope I can find time to forgive myself for not getting to speak with him, wish I could just have a phone number to reach him in heaven and speak all my mind. Meanwhile a friend died last year and couldn't help to view is facebook page once in month because that was the only means I could get to remember him but always refreshing to go back on his fb page and say in my mind that he was remember. No contact of his phone number though. |

I lost a very very dear friend in the 2005 Belview plane crash. She was one of the air hostesses. I still have her number on my contact list and I do not plan to delete it. I feel like once I do that, I have disconnected the last link I still have with her. Perhaps because there was no body to bury, I never quite got the closure I needed. Once in a while, I still find myself dialling the number, somehow hoping that she will answer the call. All I hear is that the number doesn't exist on the network any more. I'd probably keep that number for life. |

I lost my best friend September 23rd 2007 about 2 weeks to our orientation Camp (NYSC) but 5 years after, I still have his numbers on my phone and messages too. I don't think I would have the the courage to delete his contact and messages. Initially it was total anguish, denial that it didn't happen and that someday, may be someday he might call. But coming to accept reality, all I have is fond memories of wonderful times we had and how difficult it is to find true (unselfish) friends. I seldom comment on NL but for me it is a very emotional issue. Please let's learn to appreciate the best friend(s) in our life while we can because life is truely uncertain. |

I once tried the number of my late grandfather a year after he died for dialling sake and someone picked! It wasn't funny at all. I almost threw my phone. When the person called back, it was my mum. She said she'd started using the line in memory of him. Another day I was sleeping and woke up when I heard my fone ringing. With dizzy eyes I looked at my screen and saw 'papa'. Na so I jump ![]() |

Lost a friend some years back, had to delete his number becos I always felt tempted to call the line and was scared if someone picks the call, what would I even say. He was in a car with another friend who was driving and his friend survived, till date when this guy calls I dont pick becos I still blame him for killing my friend, though it was an accident. |
