Things I wonder about:

You know how when you get to heaven, after all the white light and all that stuff, you're supposed to be reunited with all your love-one's? Well, this is what I'm-a wondering about….

Like, for instance, what happens if you die young and most of your loved one's are still alive? Like all of your parents, siblings and grandparents are still alive. Does that mean you're greeted at Heaven only by Great Uncle Schmuley and your Great Grandmother Fannie? Is that really all that exciting? Does that mean that you'd spent a large part of heaven, waiting for another family member to die while you sit around, eat a whole lot of chopped liver and watch Nanna Fannie play Mah Jong all day?

Or, like so many families today, what happens if you're parents are divorced? When you die, I guess you're supposed to be surrounded by both parents, but what if they still don't like each other. I mean, if you divorced someone, my guess is that they're not going to be one of the loved one's they'll want to hang out with in heaven. So does that mean that it'll be Thanksgiving with mom and Passover with dad for the rest of eternity?

And what about those people who are widdowed and then remarried? Like my grandmother. She had a long, loving relationship with my Grandfather, Bernie, but he died of a heart attack. Ten years later, she found another man and had another long, loving relationship with her second husband, Jerry. So, what happened when Grandma died? Did she just get to be with Grandpa or did she get to see both Grandpa and Jerry? And if so, what does Grandpa and Jerry's first wife think about it?

Just think about it, in a way, heaven could just be one, big huge swingers convention.
