I believe, based on what I know about God and His character and the nature of the New Earth (the forever Heaven which will come after our resurrection), that if both you and your mom were Jesus followers here, your focus will not be on whatever happened between you but will be on the One who died to have an uninterrupted relationship with you.

Indeed, all three members of the trinity are present in those last two chapters of Revelation. Scripture is clear: one day, no longer will there be any separation between Heaven and Earth.

I have no doubt whatsoever that innocent silliness will be part of our experience in Heaven and forever on the New Earth.
