Hmmm... That was a good time. Didn't have to worry about much of anything.

No. It's too far back.
To me, the analog of Heaven was the endless days of Summer as a child. When clouds and blue sky were a country to explore.
When rainstorms were an Amazon jungle dumped upon me, and I could watch the rivulets and splashings from the comfort of a porch.
A time when lightning bugs were magic pixies playing hide-and-seek with me, and butterflies were flying flowers daring my nose to fly with them.
A time when a parent was only as far away as a worried shout, and nothing would dare to bring harm my way. But a time when I could wander around without responsibility, my only task to entertain myself.
A time, when I grew tired, or chilled, or lonely, when I could curl up next to someone, and feel a gentle hand of reassurance.
Or was that really Heaven?
