My father.
My dad.
He is no more in the house of my mother.
He is no more available on the phone.
His body is in town.
His soul is with God
and with old loved ones
that died before him...

His voice is within me.
His memory will stay alive.
Remembering the kindness,
the unconditional love.
Remembering when he layed beside me
telling me stories
when I was a little girl.
Remembering our little constructionprojects.
Remembering his encouragement.
His good intentions...

And it seems very, very possble
we WILL meet again.
A very fine thing to believe!

Sång för att döva smärtan


Gå till stranden,
mumlande i vinden
Gå till strandens stenar
med din ångest,
ser du, där är havet,
här är landet:
Verkligheten!
Du kan röra den med handen.
Lyft en sten
från världens tunga hjärta,
Väg den i din hand
och låt den falla.
Lyft en sten
och kasta den i vattnet,
Låt ett livlöst minne
falla ned i glömska...
Ser du nu att stranden
var ett radband, träden böner.
Be om grönska,
liv och glädje,
sten för sten:
I din mun skall sånger växa,
starkare än vinden,
och din själ skall bära känslor,
djupare än lyckan.
Du skall stilla stormarna
i världens hjärta,
Du skall fläta blixtrarna
till enkla kransar
Och när alla stenars tyngd
och död är sonad
Skall du gå befriad
till ditt rika lugn

What an incredible tribute to your father. Though I am very sorry you lost him, I feel so glad that you had such a father as he was.

Dear Dear Olga
I'm sorry for your loss:
Happy that he was such a man to inspire your words: wish you much love and support.
I've been away from this computer lots. Which is healthy, but means I haven't had the joy of your company.
Take beautiful care of you.
