I’ve always wondered about Heaven.
Like, what about wives who died at 80 and their husbands at say, 35? Would the still be in love when they met in Heaven?
What kind of relationship between mothers who died at 35 and their ‘children’ who lived to be 80?
Will we meet only our family and people we knew or will we meet those who have died centuries or thousands of years before?
I can see us sitting there with Cleopatra and ‘ol Abe.
How do all these people fit together?
Ok. I know this is crazy. LOL

Short answer: "Yes"

I am reminded of one of my favorite baseball jokes...
Stan Kowalski and Mel Ott were life long, old friends. They had played professional baseball for many years. Loved the sport, and had long successful careers. Now retired and very elderly, they spent leisurely afternoons together on the front porch of their nursing home, talking of their beloved baseball.
One afternoon, Stan turned to Mel and asked, "Do you supposed there's baseball in Heaven?" Mel thought for a moment, and said "Tell you what...first one to die and get there promises to come back and tell the other what he's found. Deal?"
Several months later, Stan passes away peacefully in his sleep. A few nights after that, he returns to visit Mel and tells him what he's found. Standing at the foot of Mel's bed, he shouts "Mel! Wake up! I've got good news and bad news!"
Mel sits bolt upright in his bed and says, "Well? First, what's the good news?" Stan says "Yes! There's baseball! We play every day. All the greats are hear. We got Mantel, and Ruth, DiMaggio...they're all here! Games never get rained out, and the Umps are all blind!"
Mel says, "That's fantastic! Now...what's the bad news?" Stan responds "You're pitching tomorrow."

We're all "pitching tomorrow," but it doesn't have to be "bad news." Heaven will not disappoint. It can't. Batter up.
