Disclaimer: We do not know anythng about duniya ghaib (the unseen) except what Allah has revealed to us.
Shaikh Anwar al-Awlaki was flying around Jannah in his green bird pleased with the promise of Allah to the Shuhada', and he was pleased with his investement - for himself and for his family because now he would be able to intercede for them on Judgement Day and the family would be reunited in the Best of places.
While he is gliding about he notices another green bird flying near him, flying in a happy way, flying here and there, in circles, upside down and doing all kinds of tricks. Then Anwar realises that it is his 17 year old son Abdur-Rahman.
"What on Earth happened? What are you doing here? It's only been a week since I arrived!"
"Ya Baba they said you were dead and I didn't believe them so I went out to look for you and look how fast I found you!"
"Indeed, ALlahu akbar! My son is shaheed with me and the shuhada' are not dead. As Allah told us in his book, "And do not say of those who are killed in the way of ALlah 'they are dead', nay they are liing but you do not perceive it (Al-Baqara 154), they are alove with their Lord and they have provision (aal-Amran 139)."
And off they flew together to catch up on each others news.
ALlah accept them amongst the shuhada' and for them a high place in Jannah. May He accept all of us. Amin
