Thanks so much for sharing this. Though I know it doesn't compare, I'm mourning our dog we had to put down this weekend, and I totally know what you mean about the weight of sadness, and feeling disloyal to let the pain go for even a bit.

Plus I really enjoyed reading about the cheese and wish I could get some here in Seattle! I'm sure there must be a market for it. But then again, you would think you could get a good Swedish breakfast around here, too, and you can't.
