Different people have different ideas about what heaven will be like. In the song, "What a Day," Phil Keaggy sang about his.
When I get home I will see all
The holy men I read about
Peter and John, James, Luke, and Paul
And brother Tom without a doubt
And I do believe there will be
King David at the harp
A song of praise with every chord
What a sight to see, the redeemed and
The angels gathered round worshiping the Lord
What a day that will be
Oh, what a day that will be!
When we get home, our eternal home
There'll be no more sick and dying
No one is sad, no one is alone
And there will be no more crying
He will wipe away every tear
From His children's eyes
And put a smile upon their faces
What a happy day when we see
Our Lord in paradise
Crowned as King of Kings
What a day that will be
Oh, what a day that will be!

Truth is...Nobody really knows what "so we will always be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:17) will be like. Will we actually get to hang out with our favorite Bible characters? Will we spend time reminiscing with our loved ones who died before us?
No one knows, but I'm pretty sure it will be wonderful. I'm pretty sure John got it right when he wrote Revelation 21:4 - He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away. (CSB)
