[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intellectually, I think that Heaven is some sort of thing that is both incredibly wonderful and incredibly different to the point that we can’t imagine it.  I believe your babies, and my ten year old son, are there.

Because I can’t imagine it, I imagine something familiar.  I imagine that time works differently and he doesn’t wake up there until I am there, and his siblings are there and we are all together and yet somehow his siblings are also with their eventual spouses and children.  He is healed and whole and doesn’t hurt, and no one is scared.  The last months of his life his pain and fear were so bad that neither of us slept and so I imagine he wakes up and realizes that he is perfectly safe and perfectly well and snuggled into my arms and we both fall back asleep.

His younger brother imagines something different, he imagines his brother peeking through clouds and cheering him on with grandparents, and Jesus there keeping him safe and happy.  He told me that if I make something yummy and his brother asks for it, Jesus cooks it for him! When I ask him how Jesus cooks for so many children he shrugs and says it works like Santa.  You just have to believe.

Is one of those stories closer to the truth than the other?  No, they are both mere shadows of a truth we can’t understand.  But they also both contain the idea that we will be whole and well and feel no grief or loneliness, and all our needs, like sleep and food and things we didn’t even no we needed, will be perfectly provided for us.

So, yes I believe they will meet you there and you will know each other.  And I believe they will never know a moment or missing you or longing for you, but whether that’s because they won’t wake up till you get there or because they will be too busy baking cookies with Jesus?  That I can’t tell you.[/quote]

Thank you for sharing. This is exactly how I feel. And I'm so sorry about your son. [/quote]
