I missed that movie a few days back, but the gist of it was if you could spend just one more day with a loved one that has died who would you spend it with and what would you do. I would do anything to spend another day with my mother and grandmother. We would start the morning with hot coffee and I would ask all the questions that I never thought to ask when they lived.

I'd spend it with my mother...asking all the things I never thought to ask while she was still alive. Things that didn't seem important then, but now I now how much they were.

I would want to spend it with my Father and ask him why he stayed with my mother for all those years - - - - when I knew that he was not happy. We would go on a picnic (which I would make) and talk about the happier times in our lives - for me it was boarding school (sad commentary - right?). We both had a lot of fun in the US (where I now live) as he used to have to travel here pretty often, on business. Finally I would tell him how much I loved him and how much he was missed. Now I'm gonna cry ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ sigh!

I strongly suspect that that 'one more day' would be filled with overwhelming sadness, not joy. YOu would know that it was the last day of their lives, and I doubt that human nature could overcome the certain grief that would follow...all in all, I suspect that the only thing that would be accomplished would be to sadden the departed, not learn anything. Sorry to be so cynical,but I doubt that I could enjoy a person whom I love so much for only 24 hours, knowing full well it would end in death all over again...doesn't sound like such a hot idea to me.

My son who passed away in 2004 wanted a suit. He was mentally ill and was a patient in a hospital for several years. I told him that when I visited him we would look for a suit. He didn't really need one but I wanted to buy one for him. It never happened. If I could have one day with him we would spend the time looking for that suit and just do whatever he could manage before he became too tired.

I saw the movie "One More Day" & it was a great movie. I love Ellen Berstyn & Michael Imperioli. If I could have "one more day" with someone, it would be with my fifteen year old son, who died, suddenly & without any goodbyes. I'd start out by giving him a great big hug & a kiss, & I'd tell him how much I love him. I'd take him to lunch where we'd talk, just as we did in life. Oh, how I miss him, especially with the holidays approaching.

Daddy of course
I would fix his coffee just the way he liked it then just talk
before he had to go, I would be sure and tell him how much I love him and give him a big kiss goodbye. I never got to since he died very unexpectedly while the rest of us were out shopping

As much as I miss my Dad, I think maybe my maternal grandad...I have tons of questions only he can answer...plus he never knew me as an adult, since he died when I was 11 and I'd want to let him know how special he was and is to me and how great a role he played in who I am today.

No the gist of the movie was that his mom had stuff to show him, not that he got to choose what they did.
I thought that too before I saw it.
If I had one more day, it would be with my dad and we would just talk, and I would let him direct the course of the conversation.

I would spend the day with my daughter. She was killed at nineteen. It would be so hard though knowing it was only one day, buy I would take it in a heartbeat. I would hold her and tell her how much I love and miss her.

i would also do anything to have one more day with my mother who died when i was 16 of cancer. She used to worry about me a lot, about my future. i just would tell her that everything is fine with me and i'm now working for a large company and have a wife and daughter named after her
