There is a doctrine which states: "When we get to heaven we will not know one another." In plain words this doctrine says: "We will not be able to remember, recognize or know those that we have known in this life."
But,
David, stricken with grief, and with the body of his dead child yet unburied, said, "Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me."
This statement of the grieving father is significant only if when he should "go to" the child he would be conscious of being the child's father, and being in the child's presence.
So, will we know one another in Heaven?

The Bible doesn't clearly give an answer one way or the other, but personally, I think we will know one another in heaven. Remember, for instance, the parable that Jesus tells about Lazarus and the rich man. Lazarus goes to heaven and the rich man to Hell, and the rich man recognizes Lazarus.

I think the doctrine is sound, based on the passage in the New Testement you must leave your family and follow me.
I think in Christian mythology following Jesus means, you don't have anyone else there to make the person whole.
