....... to leave you with a question.
If there was any one person, living or dead -- from any time in the history of man, with whom you could have an hour long conversation, who would it be? Why?
And don't say Jesus, because that's a given.
There you go.
Discuss amongst yourselves. I'll be checking!

For me, the person would be Anne Frank. That young girl and her diary has moved me beyond words and I would love to speak with her for an hour. Oh what she could teach me!
Good afternoon my darling daughter. Ok...this certainly isn't very deep, but my choice would be Nicole Simpson...for obvious reasons. See....told you it wasn't very deep. Enjoy your trip. Love you lots.
Hey Janine! If you and either daughter #2 or #3 are in town this weekend, come on down to Hobby Center and see Rick Lindholtz and Luke in CS's production of Annie Get Your Gun. It is a really really good show and will take you to another place, at least for 3 hours or so! You can check it out at http://www.thehobbycenter.org:80/hobbyprod/EventDisplay.aspx?EventID=772.
To answer your question, I would like to speak to my cousin again. I grew up with her like a sister and she was killed by her husband in 1994. Her story was actually made into a made for TV movie. I miss her alot and her only son, who was 13 at the time, is getting married in 2 weeks. I don't know if I could just keep it to an hour though. It seems like a lifetime would be needed to ask it all!
Unlike other questions I had to think about, this one took 10 seconds. Answer: my Mom who died in 1981 when Tricia was 4 months old.
Adam or Eve
John Lennon. He seemed to be a very deep person. Very real and down to earth.
Well I can't think of anyone right off hand. I'm not that deep. I will have to think on this one and get back to you..................
Yeah not that deep. God gave you the ability and mom and lil bro. Skipped me. Unless is was Lyndon B Johnson. I still don't buy the lone gunman therory!! I do think he had his hand in the whole JFK assasination.
Love ya and have fun in SD!
hmm, maybe I want to change my mind . . . it might be fun to talk to my Mom who died February 25th and her memorial service was on my sisters 50th birthday (yes, when many guests showed up for the memorial service I told them to wish my sister a Happy 50th Birthday . . . I figured someone had to put the FUN in funeral . . . someday I'll have to share what I did to the florist when they showed up to deliver flowers when my Grandmother died . . . anyway before I got sidetracked . . . if I changed my mind to my Mom could it be talking to her after she went through all the dying process and did she hear the nurse tell the family she was gone only for her to start breathing again and her heart to start pumping (she's back) . . . did her spirit pop back into her body to show the nurse I'm not gone yet . . . and what did she think when my dad told her he had her cemetary plot all ready for her as they had discussed . . . hmm, this is not what I would like to hear my death bed . . . that could be really interested . . . hmm, what was she thinking in her last days when my oldest sister and Dad had another knock down drag out fight in her room . . . you see she lost her mind . . . really she did . . . just curious what level of consciousness did she have her last 5 years . . . I think she understood but could not communicate back to us . . . it must have been frustrating for if her brain was working in just one direction . . . what she thought of her caregivers . . . and did Jan really try and kill her or was she just lazy or just really stupid . . . just curious
Wow...there are so many, but I think that I would choose my grandfather that I never got to meet. He died when Dad was just a boy. I wonder if I'm anything like him...
I would love to see my great uncles again too...they were amazing, wonderful men who did great things with their lives.
My Uncle Gil made a fabulous movie, "Sourdough", his middle brother, my Uncle Lee, spent much of his time building churches in Mexico and died in a sky-diving accident at 83 years old (first jump ever and the chute failed)and their youngest brother, my Uncle Joe was a P.O.W. in Japan and was one of the sweetest men and best story-tellers I ever knew.
I'm sure there are more...and I know I only get one, but I DO tend to be a rule-breaker! ;)
I'm glad you're having fun in Virginia and I love you tons!
Send the kids my love and tell W that it will all get better soon. She's an amazing girl and she'll meet loads of friends in no time!
Daughter/Niece #2...I just have to bypass your mom and say this directly to you; You're wonderful! Wanna' come and live with me? {grin} You take such good care of your mom....thank you!
Love you all,
Lisanne
I think I want to meet and spend an hour with Lisanne's uncles. What a way to live - the stories they could tell.
Enjoy your few days away.
My first choice is Scott Peck, author of The Road Less Traveled & People of the Lie. I would want more than an hour with him!! :) He could give me some much needed psychotherapy. Ha ha! just kidding :)
Okay, no depth here, merely superficial---Frank Sinatra! No explanation necessary. (and, I would also want more than an hour)
Love you, K.
Okay, there are allot of people I'd like an hour with but THE ONE is my brother. I want to know why he off'd himself. what kind of pain would bring him to that point.
I have many questions for him, but I'd spend most of the hour listening. lori
I would want to talk to my dad who died in 1981. I don't remember ever having an hour long converstion with him. I would like to talk about his childhood and my childhood and why he was always so angry. I'd tell him that I forgive him and that I love him. I'd like to tell him about my girls who were 2 and 5 when he died and about my grandchildren. Most of all I'd like to tell him that I remember our last conversation on the phone when he comforted his homesick and crying daughter because the roof was leaking and her husband was off shore working. I'd ask for forgiveness for not appreciating him while I could. Garnett
I would talk to my mom and I'd need more than an hour. I'd want to know why she thought suicide was her only option when my dad left us. Her mom died of cancer when she was eleven and I remember her talking about how lonely it was not having a mom present on her wedding day and when I was born and any other tough day when a girl needs her mom. I would ask her why she would put me through that pain. At least her mom didn't chose to leave her. Even with all that I would tell her that I love her and forgive her because I know that sometimes pain is bigger than reality, or at least it feels that way.
