haha...i like your response, only because when i was a kid, i would think about crazy stuff like that and then i'd just settle in nice and cozy with thoughts of heaven and eternal life with all the same familiar people and sometimes that would satisfyme , sometimes not because i'd wonder how that would be different than living on earth and what about the people you didn't get along with and what was the point? it would get very confusing.

lol!

in a way, though, i still think some kind of family may always exist, in that (and i know...we all three have VERY different beliefs here) the soul/spirit that lives on eternally may have encounters with familiar souls/spirits in the cosmos/heaven/whatever you call it or through different incarnations or experiences. wild stuff.
