A question to get you thinking

angelashly · February 2014

If you could have 1 hour with anyone from your past (alive or dead) who would it be? What would you do or say?

NotSharknado · February 2014

My mom. I'd tell her thank you for being such a brave, wonderful mother.

I don't think I've ever thanked her.

Eta: She died when I was 6 months pregnant with Ds. Just see her grand kids would be nice.

angelashly · February 2014

I'm having a hard time. I'm going with my dad. He passed 11years ago last week and I just miss him. I would love to talk to him about my life and have him meet Marissa. At the same time I don't think an hour is enough.

My runner up is my biological mom so I could ask her why she left and tell her how her leaving etc made me a better mom.

martha919 · February 2014

My great-grandmother. She died when I was 13 and she had just started telling me stories of her growing up. Not sure what I would ask, but she was a fascinating woman so I'm sure something would come up. :-)

missyishere · February 2014

I would want more than an hour with my mom, but I would take the chance to show her the mother I've become and maybe hit the garage together.

taggiecb · February 2014

My Great Grandmother. I was 6 months pregnant with DS1 when she passed. She told me that she wouldn't live to see him born, and she was right. No one knew she was sick, until the day she died.

littlestjerry · February 2014

Either my grandma who died when I was too young to remember her or our college friend that died in a plane crash almost 3 years ago. I'd love to get to know my grandma, and I wish DH and I both had spent more time just hanging out with our friend post college.

My nana. She's passed in 2005 but I think of her every day. I wish she could meet DH and DS.

I have pieces of her all over my house, precious moment figurines, a garden gnome, a necklace. But I'd love one more visit.

Drea926 · February 2014

Bump burp.

missymo · February 2014

So sorry for all of you who have struggled through the loss of a parent.

For myself, I'm honestly not sure. All of my grandparents are dead, so I struggle to choose between them. I can't think of anyone alive who I wish I could speak with, but can't.

BluepointToasted · February 2014

My grandmother. She just died in 2011, but i am so sad that she never got a chance to meet DS, she would have been in love. Babies and children were her joy in life, and I was her not-so-secret favorite grandchild.

ShakeyJakey · February 2014

My dad died in 2007, I would want him to meet my DS and SO. I would apologize for a lot and tell him I know he was sick and I'm sorry for all his suffering here.

scoutkate · February 2014

My mom. She died when I was ten. I would kill for a chance to talk to her adult-to-adult and mother-to-mother.

jorkz821 · February 2014

My mom. I was 13 when she died. But like pp said, an hour wouldn't be enough and I would be crushed at the end. But it might be worth it for a hug. Just a hug.

NeneCakies · February 2014

I would like to see my Grossel (grandmother). She saw me married and got sick and passed 6 months later. We would hug and laugh, I'd ask her what heaven was like and if she saw the messages we put in a bottle and dropped into the ocean for her. I'd show her pictures from the last 3 yrs and talk about our adventures. She loved pictures so much, she had an album of family members cut out and pasted together into scenes that never happened. She was hilarious.

She would love to meet DD and the two other great grandbabies just born. She might also like to rip into my mom for spreading rumors that my aunt secretly had her euthanized and settle that ongoing argument for us all. She was seriously the best.

msdrdg · February 2014

My PopPop. He died when I was 3. I was the only grandchild he knew (of the now 15 or 16 of us). I strongly feel that he is still with me to this day. I would love for him to meet DH and DS I think he would love them both. He would love talking shit with DH and he would spoil the shit out of DS if only for an hour. I would like to thank him for always being with me and protecting me and my family.

Smootchy · February 2014

My brother. I would cuddle up to him and never let go. I'd ask him what it was like on the other side. We'd talk about our kids. And I'd look to see if he still had back hair. :P

God I fucking miss him.

LuckyDad · February 2014

My dad. I would tell him about DS. Then I would tell him that I forgive him for not loving himself and for drinking himself to death.

Maebb · February 2014

Sorry for those of you who have lost parents, siblings, or other people close to you.

I would see my dad's dad because he died when I was 1. I have a few pictures with him that I treasure, but from what I hear, he had an amazing sense of humor and was a bit more fun / crass than the rest of the family (my family can be quite uptight), so I think it would be fun to have a beer with him and listen to all of his stories.

billybumbler · February 2014

My grandpa who died in 2010. He was an amazing, loving man and he didn't get to meet my little cousin, who was born a week after he died, and my DD. I would bring both girls to meet him. I'm thankful everyday that he got to go to my wedding, it was so special to him because I was the first (and as of now, the only) of his 6 grandkids to get married.

lildevil968 · February 2014

My brother. He died when I was 14. I would hug him one last time. I would also like for him to meet his niece and nephew.

thebanich · February 2014

This thread makes my heart hurt.

I would want to see my PopPop. He was seriously the best and it makes me so sad that he didn't get to meet my babies.

LaurelBee · February 2014

I would give that hour to my friend who lost her 1yo last year.

NoSoup4You · February 2014

My stepfather who committed suicide. Years ago I would have wanted to slap him and tell him how selfish he was. As time has passed, I would really just want to say I'm so sorry that none of us realized you were clearly mentally ill until we all had time to process your suicide. It's so obvious in retrospect.

EVA116 · February 2014

My sister. She passed at 10 and I would love to give her one more hug. My DD looks just like her and sometimes I call her Samantha on accident.

I am so sorry for everyone's losses. ::Hugs all around::

Dubwife79 · February 2014

Without a doubt my dad. It's coming up on 18 years since he passed away but I still have moments where I miss him so much it hurts to breathe. He would have been a kick ass grandpa.

This is hard because I would like to see both my grandmothers... they both died around the same time (one when I was 7, the other when I was 8), and I didnt get a chance to know them well enough. I was closest to my maternal grandmother since I saw her more often, and I would like to be able to tell her how much she meant to me, because as a young bratty kid I dont feel like I made that clear... but my paternal grandmother had so many interesting stories I didnt get to discuss with her since I was too young to recognize the significance and because I lived too far away and barely got to spend any time with her.

I'm stumped.

EMOmamma · February 2014

My grandmother. She's passed now but even when she was alive I didn't really know her. She was a brilliant paranoid schizophrenic (like in Beautiful Mind) It would be nice to know her back when she was lucid.

NotSharknado · February 2014

wiggyslilsis · February 2014

*hugs* to everyone who needs them. I am tearing up just reading all of this. I feel incredibly grateful that I have no one who is passed that I would spend that hour with.

I would spend the time with my estranged father. We have never had time to just sit down and talk about things. I want him to know how much I hurt. I don't want to hear his excuses or have him just leave like he has in the past. I just want an hour of honest heart to heart communication.

FalconCrest · February 2014

My sister was stillborn when I was 4. It might sound silly, but I have always felt her absence from my life.

I would also give anything to see my grandmother again.

missyishere · February 2014

I want to hug everyone really hard right now.

willy_gert · February 2014

It would be really hard for me to choose between my grandparents that have passed. I loved them all so very much.

I honestly think I would give my hour to one of my best friends. She lost her brother to cancer and has never truly healed from it because there is so much she left unsaid. So I think I would give it to her because it would mean the world to her family just to have one hour with him.

Ratpasta · February 2014

My grandfather without question.
He was accessible and kind in ways that my father never has been - he was a second father to me. He taught me so much in such a short amount of time....
We lost him unexpectedly and I never got to express to him how much of an impact he made on my life let alone goodbye. I would just like to show him what kind of man I have become, and his great grandson that carries his name.

klondikebar · February 2014

Hugs to everyone.

If this could actually happen, I don't think I'd like to see anyone I knew. I already have closure and it would be weird for me. I might pick my FIL since I never met him and DH barely remembers him.

angelashly · February 2014

(((Hugs))) to everyone. I cried this morning on my way to work when I heard the DJ ask this and thought of my dad.

LoveActually4 · February 2014

Hugs to everyone.

I would like to meet DH's mom. They were best friends and she died in 1998, long before we met. He speaks so highly of her and gets tears in his eyes everytime he talks about her, even 15 yrs later.
