If you could spend the day with someone that has died....?

Question

Who would it be? I would spend it with my papaw that died in December from ALS. I would love to see him again. I was very close to him & I miss him very much. So, tell me what you would do.

Answer 1

It would be hard to pick one! I would definitely love to spend a day with my mom, I loved her dearly and didn't I would ever survive when she passed away! But my grandma and grandpa on my dads side were just as important, my grandma was my best friend after my mom passed and grandpa was my rock!

Answer 2

I would spend it with my father, who died when he was only 47--just 47. He taught me so much and was the best father I can imagine. It says a lot that my mother never remarried. Couldn't she get to share the day? I would think so.

Dad instilled in me a love of science fiction and the movies. The only drawing lesson I received was from him. When I did take an art class, I was placed at my own table because the teacher said that she couldn't teach me anything! All Dad said was, "Look at that. Now, draw EXACTLY what you see."

I also likely inherited my ADHD from him, but it's given me interest in such a vast number of subjects that I'll never be bored. He and Mom also nurtured my sense of humor, which certainly has come in handy throughout life. He and Mom taught me how to read when I was 4 years old, giving me a wonderful start on learning.

I'd thank him for all of those things. You know what else? I'd show him "Star Wars" ( "SW IV: A New Hope"). He died not long before it was released, and I know he would have been sooooo amazed! Like me, he would have said, "Someone finally got it right!" Then, perhaps we'd watch the other films while he got to eat one last steak and potatoes meal without worrying about the cholesterol (the problem that killed him).

I think he would be proud to find out that I finished college. You see, I had to drop out to try to raise money to go back. A week after I returned to classes, Dad died. I thought about returning to the factory, but we decided that Dad would rather I earned my degree. I wish he could have seen that.

Answer 3

I would love to spend the day with my grandpa, too. He and my grandma raised me. She's still living at 93. He was my mentor and my best friend. I still miss him terribly and he's been gone since 1989. He was an amazing person and I miss talking to him and asking him for advice. I miss my mom, too, though, who died earlier this year with cancer, about 4 weeks after she found out she had it. I talked to her for a short minute on the phone that night and about an hour later the dr. called and said she died. The last thing she said and the last thing I said was, I LOVE YOU!

Answer 4

Answer 6

My father who died when I was 17. The only person in my family that was truly similar to me, and probably the only one that really ever understood me. We used to fish for hours, sometimes talking the whole time, and sometimes never saying a word, and either way was fine. I'd go fishing with him one more time if I could, and ask him all the questions I have now that I have 12 more years of life experience than I did when he died.

Answer 7

My son that died in 1986.He was 4 yrs. old and hit by a drunk driver. I wasn't home . The night before he had clung to me and wanted to sleep with me but I wouldn't let him because I had to work the next day.. I got a call at work and I could not believe he was gone. That was the most devastating thing I have ever bee thru. It takes a very long time to get over the loss. but you really never get over it ....the pain just goes away for awhile and then one day it pops up and as real as if it were yesterday.....Hang in there you do get numb to it..............

Answer 8

I would have to chose my Grandmother that died when I was 9. My other grandmother died when I was 17 and I got to spend more time with her then the other! But I would love to spend a day w/ both of them.
