Second chances: A question for everyone, please see details?

Question

Okay, here's the hypothetical: You have just been given the chance to bring back ONE person that you love (friend or family) that has passed on, for ONE day.
They will have no memory of the circumstances of their death, nor will they have any memory of what happened after death, pertaining to the afterlife or lack thereof. They will be in perfect health.They ARE aware of main events that have happened since they died (world events, marriages, deaths, births, et cetera).
You have one day to spend with them. You can ask them anything you want, talk to them about anything, and go anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye.
So who would you choose, what would you ask them, and what would you talk about? Where would you go with them?
I will read every answer (no matter how long or short)...and please, no one give any thumbs down, unless the person doesn't answer the question.

Thanks everyone, I look forward to your answers!

I forgot to add, the ONLY thing is that you HAVE to have known them, in person. So no ancestors that died before you were born, and no one that you have not physically touched (i.e. hugged or kissed) at one time or another.

To the person who suggested that I haven't ever lost anyone I loved, what brought up this question was me thinking about what I would ask my dad if I had him for one day. He died sixteen years ago, and I would LOVE a chance to speak with him again, in the flesh, even if only for one day.
There are many others as well: Aunts, uncles, friends, cousins, grandparents...
Why must people assume things when someone asks a question?

Answer 1

I would bring back my father. He passed in April. There are so many things I would like to say I don't know where to begin. Mainly I would just spend that time with him it would not need to be anything spectacular. I do agree that it would be just as hard to lose them again though.

Answer 2

This question made me cry, because it's something I've thought about often. I'd bring my grandma back. We were so close and while she was alive I asked her a lot about her life when she was younger, but in hindsight I should have asked her so much more! There are old family albums we have where we don't know half the people. I would have asked her who everyone was and this time I would write it down. I want to write a book based on her life, and I would love to get a few names and dates straight. I would ask her silly stuff,stuff I only recently wondered about, like, Did she drink Nehi cola, and how much did it cost to get into the movies. I would ask more serious things like our family health history and in the 40s and 50s was there a lot of racial discrimination in our area? I would pay more attention when she taught me how to crochet, and I'd ask her to teach me how to make apple and pear perserves, because she made the best in the world. I would go to our family's favorite chinese restaurant, which hasn't really been the same without her. But mostly I'd take the chance to thank her for being the best grandmother anyone ever had.

Answer 3

Easy...my mom. My mom died nine years ago...my son is six...I wish she had been given the opportunity to know him...and that he would have the love of a grandmother if only for one day. I'd want to give her the chance to talk with her sister one more time...the one that wasn't able to forgive her before she died and, I think, now regrets her behavior at the end. I'd also want to visit my grandmother (mom's mom) and her other sister...but only if she wanted to do so. ...and, of course, my dad and brother...again, if she wanted that.

I'd ask her more about her childhood...and about my own. I want a chance to ask her about things I've learned about her and about life in the past decade. One day wouldn't be nearly enough but for just the chance for her to meet my son, I'd take the chance of reopening old wounds related to the first time I lost her.

Answer 4

I hope you don't mind the delay, I had to write a short poem for an answer. A lady, my best friend in the world, of whom I have written in the past died of cancer several years ago. If there was anyone I could bring back for one day to ask a question, it would be her. We were best friends, but never lovers. I miss her as much now as when she left. Although we were not lovers, we loved each other more than life itself. I wrote this for your answer.

Just one day, Just one question

If I could have you back with me,
Just for one too short day.
There is a question I would ask,
Though I know you can't stay.
I met you when i was fifteen,
Fast friends we soon became.
We talked of things we liked to do,
A lot of them, the same.
Our goals in life, our tastes in food,
So many things we shared.
I often wondered since you left,
Just why we never paired.
Our friendship was a wondrous thing,
I shared my life with you.
The times our fears would raise their heads,
The happy moments too.
The problems with your wedded bliss,
The ones I had with mine.
We helped each other through it all.
And we were then just fine.
So if I may for just one day,
Have you back in my life.
The question I would ask of you.
Is, "would you be my wife?"
Though it could never come to pass,
The answer I can guess.
I'd hope beyond what hope can be,
The answer would be yes.

Answer 5

My husband. Too much water under the bridge before he died. Probably to tie up loose ends or at least feel like I did. Time is short so I would probably want to go for a walk in nature, laugh over dinner. Do normal activities.

Answer 6

Its hard for me because I'm torn between quite a few people I have lost but I think I owe it to my step Grandad so I could play card game I was meant to play .. unfinished business .. I also thought of my friends mum but she could choose her her self so for me I would bring back Gordon and spend a day of playing staforshire rummy and let him know that I cared loads about him as I'm an idiot when it comes to people dying and I dont like crying and stuff so I think .. yeah it will be him .. my other relatives would understand ..

Answer 7

My identical twin sister died in 1990.
I've lost mama and daddy, but I want to talk to Little Tommie. (She was 7 minutes younger than I am, but we both called one another "Little Tommie" and "Little Bobbie.")
We both love the beach, so we would go to beachers all over the world in 80 blinks and spend time there.
I would ask her about Heaven. (She has already come to me in dreams and told me she is there.)
I would ask her if she had a good life. I would ask her if she had been happy. I would ask her if there was anything she wanted to do that she never got to do so that I could go and do it for her.


I love this question! Thank you!

Answer 8

same for me...i choose no one. In theory, I see what you are asking, and it seems like a great idea...but I lost some one very recently and am just starting to recover. It is far to hard to get over loosing someone to intentionally put myself through that again.

Answer 9

For-get it. There IS life after death. The Human brain does NOT store memories, all it does is to act as a receive/send antenna communicating with a soul. So they would have to be able to remember things AFTER death and their death itself.Your question cannot be answered due to the fact it contains irrational information to be used to formulate the answer.
Blocking out parts of your question, I would bring back Jesus and ask him how he killed that f###ing tree.

Answer 10

Maybe I shouldn't be answering, but there is no one.

I'd prefer to find out how some living people who I haven't seen in a long while are doing.
