Risto is dead

Mom just informed me that my neighbour & "grandfather" Risto passed away last night. 
I wrote about Risto and his health problems at this board earlier. Many of you sent your vibes & prayers for him, and he felt better for a while. But his heart was tired and he spend the past month pretty much at hospital and he got weaker by the day.
Risto was the sunshine at our street and one wonderful, kind and caring next door neighbour. He always had word or two to share and when he was in feeling better, he used to take long walks around Laajasalo, my home area.
Risto was from Viipuri, area which Finland lost to Russia long time ago. Risto was a patriotic man, who was an active member at Viipuri Association, a club for city's former residents. For a patriotic man like Risto, the best day to die was, indeed, Independence Day.
I promised to write a poem for his funeral, which will take place at December 21st.
I'm going to miss Risto, that is for sure.
Sanna

Oh Sanna I'm so sorry,
This is a poem I read out along with a eulogy I wrote for my friend's mums funeral. I hope it helps you, it still helps me when I need a helping hand
lots of love

She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she’s gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back
…or you can do what she’d want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
