Grief
Eight Facts About Heaven
And even more questions
Making friends is hard at any age but especially as we get older.
Monica was my best friend in high school. She had a fantastically warped sense of humor. We made up nicknames for ourselves and started our own coded language to pass notes back and forth. She died in 2020.
Morty (Sue) was my best friend at university. Morty also had an exceptional sense of humor. She was the life of the party. We talked for hours on end, sharing deep thoughts. She died in 2006.
Christine was my best friend in young adulthood. We called each other ‘soul sisters’. She was the friend who helped me grow in my newfound faith. We shared the trials and joys of raising young children. She died in 2014.
I think of each of them often. I wonder what they would be doing if they were still here on earth. I wonder what they are doing in heaven.
I wonder if they’ve met my granddaughter, Talia. Do they know her? Do they recognize her as my grandchild? Do they play with her?
A study of the scriptures reveals things we can know about heaven. But I still have lots of questions.
