If you had one day with someone who's gone

[PJ's Mom]

My dad. Too many things were left unsaid and now that I'm older and wiser, I would definitely change some things.

[slick]

Well, I was going to say my Dad but I talk to him everyday and he knows how I feel. So does my Grandmother.

I would have to say Randi's John (Jonza). I've heard about John, read his threads, seen some of his work and as far as I'm concerned, I would love to spend a day with John and Randi.

my grandmother, because she was very special to me and we had a great relationship. she has be gone 3 years tomorrow.

My sister...whole and healthy and smartass...the only thing I would want for Christmas.... She was wonderful.

My dad. I was only 11 months old when he died and I'd love to be able to know him.

My grandmother. She's been gone since July 3, 1999. The pain is still very sharp. It will never go away. This is the time of the year when I think a lot about her - She was an amazing person, had so much love for the family, she was the ROCK in the family. She kept us together. I just can't wait to see her again someday and hug her; never let her go. What hurts the most is that I never got to say my final good-bye to her; eventhough I remember that evening when I hugged her... I somehow knew it was my last time to see her.

My Dad - just one day at his sparkling, wittiest, loveliest best would be fantastic. Maybe a game of swingball eh Dad??

and one last cuddle with my precious CallyPuss

My grandmother. She's been gone since July 3, 1999. .

That is the same exact day my mother died. I would choose my mother, so many things I would like to say. We had a great relationship and were good friends but still would like to say more.

[4 Dog Mother]

My son. He died 1 and 1/2 years ago (July, 2005) and I would like to know what was going on with him. To find out why. To tell him how much his dad and I loved him and how much we needed him - still need him. To tell him how proud I was of him.

My dad. I was only 11 months old when he died and I'd love to be able to know him.

My Dad as well. He died when I was 2. All my brothers & sisters remember him and talk about "Daddy". I'd give anything in the world to know him....even for 1 day.

Okay...gotta stop typing...this thread is making me cry.

[borzoimom]

My grandmother. She died of Altizmers, and became someone else in her last year, which made her death merciful- but I would love to have a day with her as herself to hold in my lasting memory.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

My husbands dad, and his mom too! He never knew his dad, because his dad died when Bernard was only 2; his mom died 3 weeks after we got married...

I would love to talk with both of them!!

For me it would be several people. First it would be my mom who died 11 days after a car accident on her way to my house. It would also include all of her family which I never got to meet. My mom was born in Witzheim, Germany in 1925. Witzheim no longer exits, it was taken over by Russia after WW11. My mom's entire family were sent to concentration camp. My mom was 17 at the time. Everyone died but her. She was freed by the Americans when she was 21. I have no photes of any of her family, I had 10 aunts and uncles I never got to meet. When my mom was released she could not return to her home, never got to go back. I can't even imagine what it is like to leave your home one day and never be able to return. Losing everything you own including all the people you love. My mom was not Jewish, not that there is anything wrong with that, she had brown hair and brown eyes, her skin was a little darker. Not all Germans are blond. What a lot of people don't realize, and the German people are too embrassed to admit is that thousands of German people where sent to the camps not because they were Jewish, but because Hilter wanted their land, (my grandparents were farmers) or because they spoke out about what was happening. Even though my mom had this horrible life she was the kindest, sweetest person you could ever meet. She was not bitter at all. She tried to enjoy everyday, because she knew tomorrow might not come for you. She loved animals, and cared for them all her life. She was a very postive person. I miss her terribly. My daughter, niece and I are all extreme animal lovers like her. When I look at my daughter I see my mother's face, so joyful for me. I wish I had pictures of her family. That I truly miss in my life along with my mom.

My Auntie Kate who sadly took her own life a few years ago, I only met her the one time she came down to NZ from Scotland, and I loved her, she was this beautiful person, who I am sure i had a connection with, I would love to be with her again and get to know her ,as i really never had the chance.

That is a very good idea, Slick
