I often have nothing to say, so even if I had someone that passed away that I could talk to, I would say nothing.

I would like to talk to my father. He was in the 42nd infantry division (rainbow) during WW2. His division liberated the Dachau concentration camp.

My father never said anything against Jews his entire life, and he passed along the idea to me that they were a people who had suffered a lot during their existence.

I have to wonder: anti semitism was common and accepted behavior when my father was a boy in the 1920s.

My question to him would be did he always hold the Jews in high regard, or were his experiences at Dachau something that transformed his way of thinking?

I would want to talk with my maternal grandmother, the most decent and honorable person I've ever known. I would ask about her background, her raising, my mom.
Of the famous people, I would choose Mark Twain. He could see the joy, the tragedy, and the folly of life.

I'd tell my dad that I loved him one more time, and how I appreciated all the sacrifices he made for me when he was alive.

My Grandfather ( my Mum's Father). I used to visit love visiting regularly and loved that old guy then 14 yrs old discovered Music,Cigarettes and Girls so rarely saw him. Joined the Armed Forces and eventually visited when I was about 22yrs. He said to me- metaphorically- ' Where have you been all these years?' Went abroad and next I received news he had died. Would love to see him again and tell him I love him!

The two people that started as lovers and became lifelong friends.Not so much a discussion of regret, just to continue our lifelong conversation.THey both knew me from when we were young and becoming and that can not be duplicated

Marilyn Monroe.

This is a hard choice, because I would want to talk to my mom, and tell her how much I love her and miss her, and then I would try to tell her everything that has happened since she died 10 years ago. However, I would also want to talk to my dad and tell him how much I love and miss him, and then ask him why he left the Catholic church, and many other questions about his family that I never found out because he died when I was 20 years old.

People in my family

I would talk 2 my pop, that's my grandpa. I would like 2 ask him what his opinion of my big new plans for the future is. He was kinda blunt, not very emotional, or at least he controlled it well, and very outspoken. It could be taken the wrong way, but he was also the most honest, hard working, and toughest old man I ever met. He always did right by our family and his word actually meant something.
