What the promise of eternity with my son does NOT do...


I spend a lot of time thinking about Heaven these days.  And why shouldn’t I?  It’s only natural that I would want to dwell on and know as much as possible about the place my son now resides.  Since he died lots of people have tried to offer encouraging words by reminding me that he’s in a better place and that I get to see him again one day.  That’s okay because it’s true, but I feel like I’m somehow being dishonest when I just nod and smile.  The promise of eternity with my son is what keeps me slightly closer to sane than off-my-rocker crazy but the not-so-pretty truth is that there are a lot of things the promise of eternity with him do not do...
