If a phone was invented where you could speak with the deceased, who would you call and what would you ask?

Question

How much would you be willing to pay for such a phone?

Answer 1

What a question! If there were such a thing, I would probably pay whatever I could to talk to my Dad again. He died 9 years ago at age 83, a quiet, dignified, wise but funny man who was beloved by many and is sorely missed by all of us. I have told my 3 grown children that they can use his wisdom as a yardstick for measuring their decisions through life. Any time they are considering whether or not to do something or have any type of decision to make just ask themselves what would their grandfather think of their decision - not necessarily what he would do, because that might be different than what they would choose, but what would he think about their choices. Are they something that they would be proud for him to know about. I think it gives them an extra conscience booster and it works.

I also would like to thank him for all the wonderful things he did for us, to tell him how much we appreciate all he taught us during his lifetime. My daughter lost a little boy (18 months old) a few years ago. We finally decided that he would be all right because he had his great grandfather to hold his little hand throughout eternity. It is so nice when memories of people we have lost to death make us smile. We are given gifts to value in our lives, no one tells us that they last forever, but we will have other gifts if we look for them. Thanks for asking this question, you made me think of happy memories.

Now here you have your question with the phone in reverse of my fantasy.

Actually, I would like to speak to both my mother and my father. I think I would like to ask their forgiveness - I wish I had been a better daughter, and done more for them and with them, and spent more time with them.
