Why would you pick this person and what would you talk about?

My mom. She passed away five years ago. We'd just hang out and catch up.

My Father - because I never really knew him. I cannot remember holding his hand, or him ever giving me a kiss. He did live with us but he was a stranger to me - growing up I can remember no communication with him. I would like to talk to him to,understand what went wrong as with my older sister he was the "ideal" Daddy. He was not abusive just totally ignored me from day one. Would love to have a conversation and find out what it was all about. When he was very old - DH and I looked after him and I did see him laugh and smile for such a short time before he died.

My mom. Lost her 2 years ago, she was in her early 60's, and I still have so much to say even though I was with her at the end. She's my mom, I'll never stop missing her, no matter my age.

My late husband. We wouldn't need to talk, just sit together, my head on his shoulder, his arm around me,our hands linked. I would absorb his strength, take in his scent, listen to his breathing and the beating of his heart.

Former DBF. Think about him every single day and it's been years.

Dream about him most every night.

My husband. I think he's the only person that was on the planet who 'got' me.

My Dad. He's still alive but suffers from Alzheimers. He does not even know who I am. The best times of my life were spent with him just talking. We'd go fishing when I was young and we'd spend hours in that boat talking. What I wouldn't give for one hour to talk about our memories.

My Mom who passed away 36 years ago. Id prefer to speak to my dad too who passed away 4 years ago. So I cant pick just one.

Big Sister — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 01:28:44 GMT

The person whom I would want to spend time with again is my

little sister. We always had each other's back and we shared the same history. No one else shares my history and who understands what I am talking about. I never had the chance to say GOODBYE and I love her and am so proud of her accomplishments and her determination to always do well in the face of adversity.

She has been gone 2-1/2 years now.

@MacDUFF

That is such a lovely picture. I would choose my dad who has been gone many long years. However, I would not want to let him go after such a short period of time!!!!

My mom, who passed suddenly 30 years ago, and was done too soon. She was a bright light on so many paths, and I would like the opportunity to tell her one more time how much I love her.

This is easy - I would be sitting quietly with my beloved Dad. It will be ten years this December that he left this earth. I was unable to be at his bedside when he chose to say he had had enough. His health wasn't the best through his end.

Dad was truly one the most kind, gentle, soft spoken persons I have known in my entire life. Even when I did something wrong he still never raised his voice to teach, explain why I did wrong. He always was there for anyone who needed help. He was always a role model for me. Dad was the person who stood on my pedestal, every man I knew had to live up to Dad's standards.

I still miss him every day. There is not one that passes that I don't think of my Dad even if it's for a moment. I would so love to sit on this bench with none other - that's FOR SURE.

My mother and her life in England. In looking back since she passed away there are things I never thought to ask her. I'd also like to know about the hereafter.

If I could sit on this bench. My mom who I miss with all my heart. My step dad who was my rock. My husband who made me what I am today. They all passed 6 days apart so I have to make room for them all. Just to tell them I love them and miss them. My life will never be the same without them.
