I love that movie A.I. it reminds me of my mother. She died when she was only 37. If I could bring anyone back, it would be her. It would be hard knowing I only had one day with her, but I'd say everything i didn't get a chance to say (she died unexpectedly) and ask her everything I wanted to know. Losing someone without the chance to say goodbye, makes it even more difficult. Saying goodbye to her a second time would hurt like crazy, but it would be worth it. If you could bring someone back, knowing it would only be for a day, would you do it?

That was heart touching my friend, my heart breaks while reading your post and tears fall after I've realized it that what if I were you. I'm still lucky both of my parents are still alive but I haven't told them that I love them so much I even see them very rare. I was busy building my own family but I have forgotten my parents are getting older and I haven't been with them since I don't stay at home most of the time when I used to be in their custody until I start working. I have no one to bring back i only want to bring back those time I've lost for my parent's.

That's a nice response. Time unfortunately is not something we can bring back. It's not too late, you can spend quality time with your parents in person, on the phone.

I have been sitting here for awhile reading everyone's posts and I can really see where you are all comming from. I would want to bring someone back but would be so scared of the pain I would have to go through again. Yes I am still alive after it all but I worry enough over things I said and things I didn't say. I am sure even if I thought I said everything I wanted to say after they were gone again there would be another question that would eat away at me..making me wish I asked that one too. I lost my mother in 08..and would love to bring her back not only for myself but for my sisters and all our children...but if this was a one time only deal then I would have to bring back my Fiance..he had passed away in 09..I wouldn't have as many questions as others would but would rather bring him back to have his arms around me again...so he can see how are children have grown..so our baby could see his face and hold his hand instead of looking at his picture and only knowing him that way. And this time when it would be time for him to go..I would be there and hold him and tell him I will see him when my time comes...

I have all my loved ones here only. If given a chance i would bring back my grandfather because he left me when i was so young. I would like to meet him once more and ask him tales about my mother and my grandmother. I sure would love spending some quality time with him.

That's the hard part. My relationship with my mother was finally getting better, because I was getting older and understood what a difficult job being a parent is. Then, she was gone, I ran out of time. I miss her a lot too.

It would be my Great grandmother because I have only met her once and didnt get to know like some of my cosins got to. Everyone talks about how much of a nice person she was but I never have anything to say about her.

That's unfortunate you didn't get a chance like your cousins to know your great grandmother.

I actually don't think I would bring back anyone. I lost my mother when I was 12, and as much as I'd love to see her and talk to her about all the things she couldn't see of my life and of my growing up, I wouldn't be able to let her go away again at the end of the day, it will hurt too much. I totally understand your feelings of saying goodbye and asking all the things you couldn't ask your mother, it's the same for me - but I have the fear I couldn't recover again after her loss if I have her back for just a day. Although I love that movie, A.I.. It makes me cry my eyes out.

We have all lost loved ones that we wish were still with us. If i could only choose oner person to have back with me, it would have to be my husband. Having him back in my life and the life of my children would mean than the world to us. it would be such a dream come true. But after just one day of having him back, it would be painful to let him go again. We never had the chance to say goodbye to him. Having him back would be that chance. No matter what the cost to us, it would be worth everything to see hm again.

A part of my mind say yes, part of it no. It is because it's impossible and does violate my belief. Yes, because I want him to settle his children. BY the way he is my grandfather, father's father,he left the world with unfinish business. My father and his siblings got disagreements because of who and which piece of land are for them. Grandma is still alive but she isn't in good shape to decide since "favoritism" is expected (according to his brothers and agreed by father , rest of the family).

It might seem weird, but I wouldn't be bringing anyone back. At first I wouldn't be able to choose one over the other, but this is actually not my main point. If I would see the person again I'm not really sure that I could give the person away again, you need more than 1 day to actually talk everything through...

I understand your point and that would be very difficult to have to let them go again, but I would do it still. I survived losing her once and I'd do it again, but this time I'd carry on knowing I had what many people don't a chance to say what was in my heart, that life interrupted the first time. Sitting with her for that day uninterrupted just the two of us, I would trade that for the pain I'd deal with after. I undertstand your point though. If she was older and things different maybe I would feel differently.
