if you were given a second chance..

[funkymoped]

if it were possable to give an amount of your own life to see a passed loved one, "how much would you give ?"

the deal would be just to see them again, NOT to bring them back to us. also not forgetting, none of us knows how long we have left, so could be giving the remainder of our own life to see a loved one for a very short time.....AND, we all have family that wouldnt want us to go before our time !

Oh i see my Mum and Dad loads in my dreams, i believe that when we dream about those we have lost that they are actually in touch with us. last night I dreamt that my mum took me to buy a pair of shoes and I cried because I did not want to put my feet in the measuring machine in clarkes. that is what happened when i was 6 years old but in my dream i was the age i am now and my mum still told me off for being a baby ! :((

I would sacrifice the rest of my natural life to see my darling dad again, he died when I was just 9 years old and I miss him everyday, my life somehow does not seem complete without his guidance.

[curiosity]

My mam is still with me and the family every day, if anything comes up throughout our day that she would have been usually involved in or done something funny or had something to say about, we say this and remember her. My mam loved to hang fresh washing on the line and would love to watch it blow in the sunny breeze. I used to hate hanging washing out and do it quite slap dash. Now I love those days when it's sunny and windy, I go out and hang the washing out with care, and stand back and say there you go mam, I believe she's "up there" smiling and watching it.

[ummmm]

If I answer this I will just start to cry.....again

[funkymoped]

with you there Ummmm.
:-)

[ummmm]

It's nice to know that someone may feel the way that I feel........

i had a brother, well, he was killed before i was born, anyway the thing is, i dont think i would have existed, if he didnt die.. anyway... id like to meet him - if he grew up, ,talk to him to see how he wouldve turned out

[jamwan55]

oh. and to answer your question,,,no iwould nt give any of my life to talk to him,, not even a minute,,

my futures more important than my past

[unruliejulie]

hi funky, what a fantastic question, its got me thinking thats for sure. :-)
Im a bit of a believer that my Dad is always with me anyway but to see him again, well thats different, i would give anything for one last hug and a chance to say goodbye and tell him how much i loved him, how much he influenced who i am now and the values that i have, all the stuff that i never had chance to say and do at the time because he died so suddenly . I cant give you an answer in time though because that is just too difficult and in my heart i know i couldnt give up any time of my life because i am a Mum first and foremost. I couldnt leave my kids without their mum for any longer than they need to be to satisfy my own needs. They will be in my situation one day and i know how that feels! Also, my Dad would fully understand that and i am absolutely certain deep down that he knows ALL the stuff i just mentioned anyway :-) !

Today at 9.20am in 1974 I straddled my fathers chest thumping a rib and breaking it in the process of trying to get him to breathe. He only had one lung. After 3 minutes I had to let him go and all my life I feel I could have done more and in my stopping resus always felt I had killed him.....for me I would ask for just a few minutes and I would choose to give 5 years of every year of my life for a minute of his simply just to have seen him smile once more or to have said goodbye to me and my Mother as we were both with him.

I'd love for my beloved nan to see me get married.

She slipped away as I was cuddling her some years ago now but I still still talk to her all the time and even though it's not the same I'm sure she'll be there watching when I finally make it down the aisle.

I'd like to see my boyfriend Chris just for 5 mins to say goodbye and thanks for everything. He died 25 years ago in a motorbike accident on his way home from work. I'd maybe give up 5 minutes off the end off my life to do this as I don't want to miss out on a single minute with my husband and son.

[tradey]

id give all of the life i have left just to see my best friend in the whole world,my dad,i miss him so much a day doesnt go by when i dont think of him,i dream about him too which i find comfort in

[funkymoped]

as with most of us, i couldnt specify a set amount of time ide be prepared to give.
but, i would be prepared to hand over a little bit of my time to see my mom and dad again.
there was so much i never said that could all be said in a few short minutes.
thanks for all answers.
:-)
