Thank you guys. Today was the day that I looked for the last time my father in the coffin. Then the coffin was closed. My father looked like he was sleeping, in a way he is. He left too soon, but I think he can now rest in peace. I will always remember him with warm thoughts. R.I.P., my dad.

This is really hard: you hope this isn't true, but it just is true and there's nothing you can do about it. CRAP!

You wake up in the morning and hope that was just a bad dream. But it is true and it will take its time to get over it. In my case, it took 5 years.

Dedicated to you mika, brother in Metal:
"Father, father, father I look up to you And heed thy call This letter ends my search I'll live your dream now passed on to me And I now wait to shake the hand of fate Like the dusk awaiting dawn So wizards cast your spell With no heart to do me well So it is written, it shall be..."

Thanks Mika and Samuel. And what you said Metalwarrior is exactly the same thing/thought I am experiencing. I just got home from Metal festival...after Grave Digger all the other bands felt like -sh-it. Now I am going to a real sauna to warm up and then heading for downtown for some Malmsteen, Judas Priest, Treat and Therion stuff sung by Mats Leven. I also hope for some At Vance songs.

My father died 3 years ago ....We all are mortal and will resurrect on judgement day...So our relatives ( alive and dead as well) need our prays and good deeds of our soul. We can help them even after their death.

Today was the funeral of my father. There were the closest relatives and friends there. The weather was quite fine, there was no raining. Now this was the third time that I carried the coffin in my life. Somehow I felt honored to carry the coffin of my father with 5 other people. Some of the funeral visitors were quite old and that felt a little bit difficult to get 6 carriers at the beginning. However that succeeded quite easily after all. In the bouquet which was put next to coffin was the text like this (from my mother, brother and Soile, sister and Timo and also from me and Virpi): You will never know if there is much or little of time, suddenly you will only notice the time ended here. For the Finnish speakers it went word by word this way: Koskaan ei tiedä onko aikaa paljon vai vähän. Yhtäkkiä vain huomaa, se päättyikin tähän.I don't know if it is appropriate to put a photo of my father and mother (22nd of May, 2010) here, but since I feel like this community is almost like a family I dare to put it here. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of my father and my mother. It took only 12 days from that photo that my father died.

This day must have been very rough. That line you wrote: You will never know if there is much or little of time, suddenly you will only notice the time ended here... it is so true.
I'll send prayers and power to you and your family to get over these rough times.
