I have always believed in heaven
If and when I die I would like to think I would go to heaven...but it's only a hope....I don't know it it really does exist, for that I have no proof...but like many I just believe there is such a place...if there isn't then I won't know will I??
Anyway here is my idea of haaven
If I was to die in the morning (heh that would be one sure way to avoid going back to work lol) I would want my lil girl with me...what I mean by that is..another true version of her in heaven, where God lets me be with my loved one's...not how I last saw some of them, but how I like to remember them in their hay day. He will give me another Becky to keep me going till the day here on earth she passes away and then I get the real Becky...but I think I would want her as I see her now..a lil 6 month old infant and very loveable. Just in the same way I was to die say in 5 years from now then I would want a 5yr old version of her with me in heaven...while the real Becky is still with her dad on earth
Also a version of my partner...and my old Golden Lab (goldie) I cried so hard when she died and vowed that I hope to see her again...gee I don''t see heaven just for us humans...it's a place for all of Gods creations
It would be pure bliss....not having to worry about heartache and sorrow anymore....I wont have to worry if my lil one or Gary (my partner) is going to get hurt or die on me
It would also be another version of earth but where all dreams come true
Folks this may sound soppy but it's just my idea of heaven...and it's only a dream/hope and nothing more...and like I said...if it's not really a place like it..then I wont know

I was just thinking about doing a very similar post today...strange.
That is a beautiful thought of heaven. I have children myself and I understand completely and now I'm teary eyed....
My idea of heaven or the other side is this space with no boundaries where your thoughts creates everything. You can build entire cities with your own thoughts or live in the mountain and have a beach down the road. Where there is no suffering and no competition and no ego.
I would definately want to have my loved ones and my children there. I can't imagine being happy without seeing them smile at me. They are my little pieces of heaven here.
I would create every beautiful thing I could imagine with thought and share it with everyone. I would put paintings in the sky and and make meadows of wild color flowers and streams and on and on.....
I always did keep a thought as a child of heaven. When my mother was dying I would sit with her in the hospital when she was feeling up to it and we would talk about what heaven was like. I had this picture in my mind of her in heaven. She was standing at the end of a long road lined with enormous trees. At the end was a bright yellow country house with a wrap around porch beside a lake with willow trees. Flowers all around and there she was waving to me, standing in front of the house wearing that coat she always wore when I would fall asleep in her lap as a kid. That was how I thought of heaven and in a way I still keep that picture in my mind. I still believe I will see her standing at the end of that road waving to me.
Maybe we get what we expect to get.....whatever the case I believe it will be something beyond comprehension.
