Possibly not a 120% discussion, but the title says it all. If you could be instantly reunited with someone from your past, even if it was for just a week or a day, who would it be?
Personally, it would be a long lost sweetheart from my childhood.
(Don't make fun -_-)
Others would include my grandparents, I'd have liked to meet them better, learn from them and at least shared how my life was going with them. Same deal with the first person I mentioned.
What would you do with these people? Share stories? Catch up on your lives? Ask some question that has never been answered? Take a walk? Fly a kite? Picnic? Take them somewhere special? Well, it might be hard to do everything you'd want in the day or week, but I blame no one for wanting to try it all. I'd do the same.
Thanks again everyone for reading and sharing.

Mine would be my best friend from 9th grade. I lived in a small town in Kentucky and it was my first year there and in high school and this girl - Becky had just moved to the town as well. She was a sophmore. Anyways I always got picked on in school and no matter what Becky had my back! I talked to her once when I was in my junior year of h.s. but then lost contact with her again and have not been able to locate her since. I would love to have her back into my life. She made one hell of an impact on my life and taught me not to take crap lying down and that when you need it there will be someone that you least expected there with you! I love you Becky!

That's beautiful! I hope you somehow do get her back. I've also learned or relearned from this and a few other discussions that sometimes bits and pieces of lost loved ones, or just loved ones in general can show up in current and new friends too. Some don't see it that way, but I do. Its very fascinating and reassuring.

a childhood sweetheart huh.. LOL i am not making fun of you! ^__^ *peace* i actually think that's cute. LOL i would want to be reunited with my last ex-bf just to talk about things and catch up on some things and clear up some things, whatever. just plain talking, maybe over a coffee or a drink. LOL
but the persons i really would want to be reunited with are my friends back when i was in college. my special friends who made my college life very memorable and fun to the point that they made me feel disappointed when i graduated ahead of them. ^__^;; some of them are here in town and we are planning a little reunion this coming holiday break. i am praying that it will push through because it will be a great way to catch up on things, have fun and reminisce the past. ^__^

The one person I would love to be with and spend a week with would be my dad. He passed when I was 2 months. I never got to know him and only have a few pictures of him. I wish I could bring him back and see what he was like. To see where I got my looks from especially my eyes. I would love for him to tell me stories from his childhood. I would love for him to see my children and talk to them. He would have loved them! And to see me all grown up with a family of my own. It would be nice to have my dad back even if it was only for a day or week.

Now that is truly something Copper. I'm here trying to imagine it all as well, since I'm in a similar state with grandparents. Your dad would be so glad to see his daughter all grown up with her own family.

If I could be reunited with anyone, it would be my Great-Great Grandmother. She raised me from when I was very young until I was 14. I miss her very much. I would ask her a lot of questions about life and love, the things that I was too young and ignorant to listen to when she was around. I would let her know that even though I'm not doing as well as she thought I should, I am doing okay.

My comfort and kindness to you Lovely. I'm also betting she's still proud of you and glad you are doing well. I'll admit this about myself though. There are a few times I think of lost loved ones and what they would say about issues, things in my life, and the like. Hopefully that's not too out there, but it is what it is. Either way, I wish you the best with everything especially life, love and family.

Hi Gamer,
I would have to say my best friend from HS Ashley. I have really lost touch with her, and she was and the last time I saw her seemed, to be a wild child. I just wonder if she is ok at times. I have ran into her over the years at the most unsuspecting times and its always a real pleasure, but usually under the influence and things are still strung about after seeing her. Only to lose touch again.
I had so much fun with her, shared many first time life experiences with her and I will never forget how close we were and the good times we had in HS. I pray everyday that she is ok. I still look for her from time to time, have done people searches looking for her, but nothing.
If I had a chance to spend 24 hours with her, I think we would probably contact another close friend of ours, whom I luckily was reunited with not long ago and lives very close to me, and go and have a nice lunch and then just sit and talk to catch up. Nothing fancy, because just seeing her again would be great in itself. She was like my sister, and I miss her.
Bay Lay Gray xx

Thanks for sharing that. I completely understand it, and most likely would do the same thing. Well definitely the lunch and a whole bunch of "semi"-extreme bits of play here and there!

I agree, a long lost sweetheart that I haven't seen in 30 years but still think about. It would be great to see him again if even for just a day. I often wonder whatever happened to him. Thanks for bringing up some memories.

Same here, and you are welcome for the memories. I'm still going through some of my own. I hope my lost sweetheart is doing well.

I'd like to be reunited with my paternal grandfather who I have met only once. My grandmother and he separated long before I was born and I never really got to know him. I've heard quite a bit from my father (who is the only one who used to keep in touch with him...the rest of his siblings didn't acknowledge him).
So, I'd like to know him and his family (he married again and had around 8 children - my step aunts and uncles..one of who is just 2 years older than I am).

Very good. Similar to my story.
I have stories of my lost loved ones but really, just once I'd like to really meet some of them.

Wow,Yeah,how timely. Dad passed away almost 20 years ago and I am really steeped in memories of him right now. What I would'nt give for a day to just soak up advice from him. I love him so and respected his wisdom and honor. Thanks but I can't write any more about him right now other than if you did not know him you missed knowing a great man!

Well said. I couldn't agree more, but just wanted the thread idea down. It'd be wonderful if we could spend two days, three days, a month, a year with these people.

I would like to be reunited with an old friend of mine who I lost contact with sadly.

Completely understandable. An old friend or two is always on the list when it comes to lost people we'd really want to see.
