Two at the hospital, Five around kitchen table..
Listening to: Olavi Uusivirta - Tuu mun vaimoksein
Mood: sad but hopeful
Cups of coffee: 4
26th day my grandmother was taken to hospital due to a bad heart condition. It had only been a month since she came back home from the hospital and now her fears came true and she had to go back once more. And I haven't been able to go see her because I have quite a bad cough. She's too fragile...
She has tiny green eyes and short silver grey hair.
This morning I received the worst kind of wake up call. My dad had been taken to hospital due to a bad heart condition. My dad has never been sick. He never complains about anything and now I was watching him in brown hospital clothing, listening to his hoarse voice and trying not to cry.
He has the bluest eyes and darkest, curliest hair.
This evening all my most precious people gathered together and we all sat at my mother's tiny kitchen drinking coffee, each of us more tired than the other one. Each of us desperately needing sleep. Two of our close family members in hospital due the same cause.
And somewhere between, I was thinking, My eyes are the greenest of green and hair dark and curly. I have little of them both in me to carry close to my heart.

"Olen minä sua kattellut niin
kirkkotietä kun astellut oot yksinäs, allapäin.
Sinut sulkenut siunauksiin,
että Luojamme varjelis sun elämäs etteenpäin.
En mä voi sulle onnea taata.
Enkä paljon luvata saata.
En voi kotia mä kultaa kantaa,
mutta parhaani koetan antaa.
Kun mä nään miten liinasi liehuu,
minun rinnassa rakkaus riehuu.
Sua ootan ja melkeinpä palvon
yöni valvon aatellen:
Tuu mun vaimoksein. "
"I've been looking you
As you've walked along the church path, alone, down
I've drowned you with my blessings
that the God would guard you life, forward
I can't guarantee you happiness
There's not much I can promise you
I can't carry gold home
But I'll do the best I can
As I see your cloth fluttering
There is love raving in my chest
I'll wait for you and almost adore
In the nights I lay awake thinking
Please, be my wife"
