The bells in Hovs chuch rang for dads soul last Thursday, supposedly this is to help the soul get to heaven. I'm not religious and I left the Swedish church a few years ago for the reason that I don't believe in God, but I do believe in something, I just don't know what that something is... And even though I don't believe in the church rituals it was a nice thing to sit by the burial site and see and hear the bells and know that they were for dad, comforting in some way. And by the site I discovered this 103 year old tombstone, that I never noticed before, with this beautiful inscription on the stone "the earth hides the ashes, love hides the memory". I know you are with Peter now dad, and that you'll watch over us until we also get there.
