Will Nate still be my little boy?
I don't know what it's going to be like in heaven. I'm scared that Nate won't be my little boy anymore. My love for him is for my little baby boy I used to carry and chase around the couch. Things might be so different in heaven that my perspective here has no meaning, but just as I can't bear the thought of Nate being totally gone, I can't bear the thought of not expressing my love for my little boy.

Obviously there is no answer, but I understand that the ancient Hebrews believed (and maybe modern Jews still do believe, I don't know) that a person is complete at the moment they pass on -- so however one is at the end, spiritually, is how one is forever. Of course, they didn't believe in resurrection, so maybe it's not the same thing, but I kinda think that in heaven, we are the sum total of who we were when we were on Earth. So if I'm interpreting it right, then yes, he will still be your little boy, because that is who he is.
Your perspective here is the one that matters for you. I think Nate will still be your little boy because that is how you remember him. I agree with Kristen- that is who he is.
