If you could have 24 hours.....

Those are such beautiful words you told us about your Dad.

I would pick my Grandma, she was the most precious lady in the world to me.

I never thought I could miss someone as much as I do her. But...I am so thrilled to know that someday when it's my time to go, I will see her again in heaven.

That's what got me through my dad's death - knowing that someday, I WOULD see him again! Your grandma sounds like she was one special lady.

I would pick my grandfather...my dad's dad. I never got a chance to meet him. He passed away shortly before my dad and mom married. But my dad tells me about him all the time and I really wish I could meet him. He sounds like an amazing man.

I would want to see my Dad. He passed doing what he loved...with fishing pole in his hand. He and Mom were on vacation and he had a heart attack. I was 18 years old and totally devastated. I was Daddy's girl. I still have his flannel shirt that he always wore around the campfire when we camped when I was younger. He could play the harmonica and make me laugh like know one else. He was everything to me. I guess that's why I am not afraid to die...I will be in his arms once again.

Girls your tributes are all so touching and beautiful, I have three very special people that have passed, My Mom she was my best friend and life is not the same without her, my dad though I was not very close to him, I realize today that he was a good father just couldnt show his love. Lastly one of my older brothers who passed away when he was 36, him and I are so much alike in many ways , I am sorry that he never got to enjoy his children who have grown up to be responsible young adults.

Your mother is still with you, just talk with her like you would anyone else.

and your brother, He knows Gina, he has been watching them since he left.

I don't know how I could choose just one.

I adored my Dad, who died of a heart attack 15 years ago. He was a teddy bear of a man and something of a local celebrity for his musical skills. We were very close.

I am still emotionally devastated by the loss of a 19 yr old who had lived with us and was like one of my own kids. He died just over a year ago playing chicken with a train on a 4-wheeler. He was SO full of life and love that it's hard to adjust to the "lack" of him in our lives.

My nephew Chris died at age 10 when his 8 yr old sister pointed a pistol at his head and said "Byebye Chris!". I held his hand in ER when they unhooked him from life suport and have never fully recovered. I would love to hold his hand again and apologize for not having kidnapped him that day. He was supposed to have gone somewhere with us and at the last minute his parents decided he had to stay home. If only we had known...

So I can't shoose just one. It's impossible.
