Tony thank you so much for your thoughts about my dad. He is a fighter.

I am so very sorry about you and your partner's loss. No circumstances surrounding anyone's death is easy and sudden death just takes one's breath away. Know that I am thinking of you and your partner and his family and especially her little daughter. I know it is especially hard on her. Just know that I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Favorite poet of my mother was Eino Leino. There is a song made from his song "Ikävöi, ihminen" ("Yearn, O Man") which is about longing and yearning for something gone and something not yet here.

"Yearn, O man,
beyond time, beyond place and death!
On this shore of sorrow see thy sacred star beyond
the night and waters!
A golden string forever resounds in the human soul,
and the yearning lives,
Those content with what they had
their minds become one with earth"

The song is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stuneblex3E
