Our lives are colored by the people in it, our parents, our siblings, our friends, our lovers, our teachers, our bosses, and so on. Therefore, Heaven is colored by the people who have good influences on us and who are in our good memories. When we die we go to Heaven. Heaven is with all the people we love; it doesn't matter if you love more than one person because in Heaven, poyamory is the norm. For example:
You remember your first love from high school fondly your entire life and though you do have other relationships you are only dating for the sake of dating. In college you have your first serious dating relationship; you are both in love and know it. You know that this will last forever. But he/she goes to study abroad in Spain and you transfer to a different school with a better English track. It is painful for you both because you feel like you'll never see each other again. But you do; after a year you meet up back home during the summer. Both of you have changed and grown. You realize that now you will never be more than friends so you force yourselves to move on, but you miss how you used to be and you miss each other. After a while, you try a relationship or two, but it is just not the same and they don't last long.
Eventually you find the love of your life. You get married, have children and have long, mostly-happy, beautiful, and love-filled lives. Then you die. You go to Heaven along with everyone else. What happens? Do you stay with your husband, your college girlfriend, or your first love? The answer is all three. Everyone spends Heaven with ALL their loves who exist, for you, how they were in life when you loved them. And then you have your parents, your siblings, your friends, etc. to be with.
Heaven is a place of eternal love. Everyone realizes that just because you love more than one person doesn't mean you have to love any one person any less. So you relive the happy memories, laugh with each other, make new memories, living as you did when you were alive together and in love. This is why heaven is polyamourous. Perhaps this is not the correct word since all of you aren't married to each other, but hopefully you understand what I mean.
The classical/typical idea of paradise is warm and sun-shiny all the time. But what about the people who like the rain? And what about snow? I would miss the snow; I love snow. And if there is no snow and the weather is always the same, then it is not Heaven because it would be boring and not paradise. And if I don't care that there is no snow, etc, then I would not be me and therefore it would not be heaven.
In Heaven you can do everything you've dreamed of doing. You can play violin if you choose, or are a best selling author. Physics is not really an issue--unless you want it to be. You can fly, breathe under water, dance in fire, and talk to trees. You can go anywhere you want just by a thought, or you can take the long way--whichever you choose. You can go on adventures without having to worry about dying (because you are already dead) and, since you do not have to eat to survive, you only have to eat when and what you wish. Other than that, Heaven is a lot like Earth and death is a lot like life.
I'm not sure where Heaven is, after all, no one's ever found it. if it was a place then scientists would have found it. Perhaps it is not a place that can even be reached (or found) in a body. Maybe only spirits/souls can reach it--can even find it. It is more than an idea, less than physica--like dreams. Only it is real and there are never any nightmares. Just wonder, peace, fun, joy, beauty, and love.
Heaven is full of love and life (in a manner of speaking). It is full of color beyond imagining and colored by the people we love, as if they are the paints of paradise, as if they are the Color of Heaven.

I liked your post but I don't think that the "christians" idea of heaven is all warm and sunny, ,I think it's a lot more like you described. :)
Thanks for the comment. I guess what I meant is that the classical/typical idea of Heaven, not necessarily Christian. I'll change that. Hope I haven't offended anyone.
