I don't know for sure. There are certainly enough signs to keep us interested, however. Your son is one.

I was with my mother not long ago when she took her final breath. My face was next to her, and my hand was near her mouth and I just felt something escape her and then she was very still.

It is the final frontier, I guess. Perhaps it is not even metaphysical, but a result of natural laws we have not yet discovered. I'm sure the ancient Romans could never have conceived of radio waves.

I do know this much. The concept of living forever, in this body, is horrible. I would never want immortality on earth if it were presented to me. I relish the idea of leaving, whether it is to the big sleep or the big happy party in the sky. But not just yet.
