I Wonder. .....

Some days I wonder what Jared would be asking me permission to do,  who he could go to the beach with,  what group of friends he would be playing pick up with.   Today was the other wonder day.   I wonder who all has he met and what all has he been doing?  Has he and his dad been catching up on life our working on cars or hunting together?  Has his Grandpa Orval ( my dad ) drank a beer with him?   Has he been running around with his cousin Jacob?   Has he been stuffed with wonderful cooking from Great Grandma Elsie,  Aggie,  and Faye?   Has he been on tractors with Great Uncle Russ and Great Grandpa's DeLong, Walters,  and Backs?  Has he been playing soccer with former coach Daniel?   Is he and John Boy sitting around a campfire talking to Civil War Soldiers and going to Balls?  Is he and Aaron tubing down a river?   Is he flying to Brazil. ... was he there to see the finals?   I know he was with Tim Howard on that awesome night.   Is he scuba diving with pioneers of the underwater world?   Is he listening to Johnny and June sing with our sweet friend Johnny?  Has he met friends of ours and family members that even we never met?   Is he sitting around with Uncle Pat and Aunt Rose listening to stories of " when your mom was a little girl" and stories of how they grew up and helped Jesse James and his brothers dig wells?   Did he finally meet again his distant cousin Buckshot?
I don't know if they sleep in heaven our not but if they do I am sure Jared hasn't done much of it.   I am also sure when I arrive that he will talk to me non stop for days telling me of all his adventures.
