Prayers, vibes for my 'grandfather'

Dear family,
mum just told me that our next-door neighbor from Helsinki, Risto, man who is the closest to be a grandfather to me, is hospital right now. 
He is in his late 70s and his heart is failing. Apparently only 20 percent of his heart is working and there's very little that can be done anymore. Much has been done over the past few years and his heart is now tired. 
When my dad had brain cancer, it was Risto who drove him to the hospital for treatments when mum coudn't. It was Risto, who gave mum some driving lessons after years of being just a passanger. Each time I go home, Risto asks me "how's your head?" and he never ever lets anyone pass him by without making their day bit happier and brighter. He has amazing spirit and joyful attitude towards life. He's truly Mr Optimistic. 
So, join me in sending some prayers & vibes his way.
PF days,
Sanna

Absolutely, Sanna. If not for his returning health then for his peace of mind and lack of pain.

Risto sounds like a fine man.
You honor his life and the things he has done with your love and concern for him.
My very best to you, and to Risto.

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.
