Just one more day
 When you have a TIVO, or as they are called now a DVR, you find you recorded shows and just never watched them.  They sit on there because you have them on DO NOT DELETE and so they sit till you finally either watch it or give in and decide you never will.  
One of these shows was a movie that was on TV months ago called "For Just One More Day".  It is based on a book that I had heard about but never read.
The basic story for those that do not know is that a man who is depressed and suicidal over the death of his mother and how his life turned out, gets one last day with his mother during which she not only teachs a few life lessons but the son learns something about his father, a father he always thought the mother did something to and made him leave, that changes his whole view on life and his mother. 
My question is this, if you could have one more day with someone you loved, who would it be?
I would like one day with my maternal grandfather.  He died when I was young and I never got to really know him.  I would love one day to talk to him and see if my image on this guy from pictures and stories of family members and old silent home movies is anything like the man he really was.
Who is yours?

Oh to have one more day with my dad. It would be late spring when all the trees are blooming and everything is new. We would have a cook out, he loved to grill out, and we would just sit and talk. I miss him so much.

I saw this movie also. Did you read the book: The five people you meet in heaven? Great story by Mitch Albom and I believe he wrote For one more day also and Thursdays with Morrie. All books to give you a pause. Thanks peace :)

It would by my father. He died when I was 2. I always get sad this time of year because he died on May 13th. I wish that I could know him.

If I could have a second choice it would be my maternal grandmother. She more or less raised me. I love her so much. I'd love to see "Mother" just one more time. To sit at her tree and lay my head in her lap would be sheer heaven to me.

I'd love one more day with my mother. She passed away in 1992 at age 56, too young...I think about her every day. Nice post, thank you.

My paternal grandfather. He was an awesome man and, although I was only 8 when he passed away, I have such wonderful memories of him. I'd also like to know what he thinks about his son's criminal actions. I like to think he would be proud of me for standing up to him but, since my father is his son, you never know. I almost bought that book for my flight to Costa Rica but I decided to choose something more "light".

My father who died in 1980. I had gone to see him in the hospitol and left to go home and check on my children and while I was there I got a call that he passed away. I was devestated to the nth degree. He was suposed to live a year and died in only 6 days. I didn't cry for a long time and when it finally came it was a flood. I love and miss u daddy!
love k

this is tough for me because as a child growing up with my mother she was a very bitter angry woman and she took all of us, her children, away from all our family and we never really got to know any of them. The only person I was able to get any time with was my paternal grandmother; and that was limited. I would have to say that she would be my choice. She was a grand woman full of life and fun. She passed away a few yrs ago.

My one more day would be with my uncle was murdered in 1990 to sing with him and hear him tease me about being a mother. Just to see him smile. That would be amazing.

I would want one more day with my father. I would want the knowledge I have now but would want that day when he was alive and I was 16, don't know if that makes sense.

I would also want one day with my real mom. I never met her and I wish I could know what she was like.
