 If you had one more day with someone you loved
who would it be and why. What would you do on that day and what would you whisper in their ear.
So hard to pick but it would be my Dad who died many years ago. We were very close and he was the person I admired most of any person I have met in my entire life. I think I received my love of children from him. I remember one year during the war when most gifts were hard to find, I asked for ice skates and he and my Mom found one pair but he knew my best friend had asked for the same and after shopping all of Chicago knew there was not another pair. He called Helen's Mom and Dad and asked her size and got the pair large enough so we both could share and not leave one out of it on Christmas morning. I stuffed the toe and we both shared every winter for many years.
My Mother had a brother who had thirteen children (one killed in the war) and it was a wonderful family. My Dad worked a second job for years to help them out and sent a check every month to St. Paul Minnesota to my Mom's brother. I could go on and on.
It was the connection we had that was so wonderful and if I had another day I would love another walk with my Dad ( we used to love that) just to talk about things and the world we live in today. I also would whisper in his ear that "I love you" in those days you didn't say things like that but we both knew.
What person in your life would you like another day with if you could. You may be familiar with the book and the movie that is coming out Christmas with the same question. |
