i asked violet today how she was doing. she said, 'oh, i'm doing fine. i'm going home to sweden.' i said, 'oh, that sounds nice! can i come with you?' she answered, 'no, i don't think so. i'm going to heaven.'

aww :( ...so sweden=heaven? i thought iowa=heaven; that's what the bumper stickers (that I can't seem to find now) say, and that's what they say in "Field of Dreams"...
remember when that old guy from church died while he was in sweden, and broller said, "why would he want to die? he was already in heaven?"
(which he said sarcastically, but mom thought he was brilliant - so his attempt at kissing up went smashingly well)
"smashingly" -- hehe :)
actually they say iowa is not heaven :P
"is this heaven?"
"no, this is iowa"
therefore iowa does not equal heaven. sorry, chel.
OK, good point -- but it's MISTAKEN for heaven, so that's still something ;)
which also means it's the next best thing to sweden, mel... (hint hint;)
oh - update: violet did not go to heaven yesterday.
while i'm sure we're all glad she's still with us, in some ways it's kind of a bummer. i mean, i would have liked to go to heaven yesterday, and i'm sure violet would have enjoyed it, too.
those were my thoughts
Sweden or Heaven, both would be nice! Of course, I've only been to Sweden and that was pretty wonderful. If Heaven is like Sweden/Bible School then I can't wait!
that was so the happiest time ever (*sigh*)
