If you had one day with someone who's gone

[Catty1]

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.

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.

I really couldn't chose - maybe my maternal grandmother, she died when I was 5 or 6 months old, so I never knew her in person, really, though I know her well from family stories. Or my second cousin Emily, who committed suicide at the age of 16 with her best friend, to ask why, and settle her parents' and uncle's minds. I'd love to see each of my other grandparents and their siblings and hug them again, there are just so many people ...

I would have to say my dog Sami.

While I miss my grandparents and my brother and sister I truly believe I miss my Sami the most. She was like my child, as I never had children of my own. I miss her stealing my gardening gloves and tearing around the yard with them to get my attention when I spent too much time in the garden. I really miss her sleeping on my feet, keeping them warm. I miss her barking for vegies when I'm making salad. Yes, if I could I'd love some time with Sami.

Hugs...can't imagine what you have gone through. I think about you often and hope it gets easier.

Gosh this thread is sad, I'm trying not to cry here.

I've been fortunate and have not lost anyone close to me- except my cat Yogi who died last year at 17. I would love to see her again and hold her.

[catmandu]

My Dear Mother So She Could Vist The Found Cat Hotel And See All The Siamese.
She Loved Siamese And Would Daerly Love To See All The Wonderful Cats Here.
I Could Treat Her To Tony Romas, And Thank Her For All She Taught Me, And Tell Her Things That I Ran Out Of Time To Tell Her.

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.
