I couldn't pick just one. All of my grandparents and step-dad are gone and they each had their special ways that I miss. Daddy and Grandpa would love our house here on the lake, they were both big fishermen...and they have visited in my dreams. I would love it if Grandma could meet my babies, she loved animals...my grandmother on my dad's side was a quilter and I collect antique quilts so there's so much I'd like to talk to her about. I never got to know my Dad's father...he had Parkinson's when we were little so he didn't interact with us much but I'd love to know him. My Dad now has Parkinson's and alzheimers so the time is slowly slipping away with him too.
If I had one more day with any or all of them it would be for a big old fashioned family holiday...I really miss that...Granny P. would enjoy that too, she loved to help at the holidays and I'd like Daddy to be well again so we could visit. But, most of all, I'd like to be able to give each of them the hug I never got to give before they passed and to tell them I love them one more time. |
