For one more day...
Dec. 6th, 2007 08:04 amThe Oprah show yesterday was all about Mitch Albom's book
and the TV movie that was inspired by it.
And I watched with tears in my eyes.
I can't narrow it down to just one person, myself.
I'd love to have one more day with my dear brother, Joe. With him, I'd hang out, talk and laugh. I miss his smile and his sense of humor so much. I was very fortunate with my brother that the last thing I said to him was "I love you and drive carefully" so no regrets there...but I miss him so much still.
Next, I'd love to have one more day with my Nana & Pop pop. They were the best grandparents ever. They were funny, down to earth, loving people. Pop pop was the master of the pun. If I had one more day with them, I would just listen. Maybe ask a question or two, but mostly just listen to them tell their stories.
Lastly, I'd love to have one more day with my Grandma. She was a feisty, redhead who was still wearing go-go boots in her sixties. She lived to be 84 and, again, I would love to hear the story of the gatekeeper's daughter one more time. And the story of the silversmith ancestor who worked for the royal family (which one, I'm not sure--which is why I need to hear those stories again). I always meant to record those stories and I never did--my big regret.
So, f-list, I ask you:
If you could spend one more day with someone who has died, who would it be and what would you say/do?
and the TV movie that was inspired by it.
