Is There Sadness In Heaven?

Becky, Glen and the grand kids are here. Yay! Hannah is changing ever so fast. I just can't get over the fact that she is walking. She played shy with me Friday when she got here but by this morning she had forgot all about the fact that she had forgot me a little and was back to being grandma's girl. She is such a comical and lively little sweet pea and has me laughing all the time. This morning as she was entertaining me I thought about how much John would have been enjoying her as well as all the grand kids. I was thinking about all that he was missing. Often I am comforted about how being in heaven that nothing sad or painful will ever touch him again but this morning as I laughed with Hannah, it got me thinking if that was really true. The only way that it would be true is if all of his memories were wiped out but then would it be true that if that is what happens to us on the other side, it would diminish who we are? Wouldn't we be less if we forgot about all the ones we loved. Isn't that what this life was all about? So, if he does remember, he must miss those grand babies, his kids, his friends and me. Perhaps it is easier to deal with when you have the God of all comfort right beside you and He can hold you when you are sad. I just have trouble believing that even in heaven that we are protected from all sorrow. I know that the bible says that Jesus will dry all our tears. Up till now I have took that to mean that there will be no tears. Now that I think about it, there will be tears but Jesus himself will wipe them. That does comfort me. John, we miss you too, all of us. I hope you are not too sad too often.
