If there was one thing..

you could hear or feel or have or whatever from your mom or dad what would it be?

My one thing would be to hear mom laugh again. It was contagious her laugh.

I guess I'm starting to lose the memory of how it sounded and its making me nervous.

Re: If there was one thing..

I would just want her to meet my son if only for a minute- just to see the love in her eyes that I know she would of had for him. She always talked of being a grandma but never got too

Re: If there was one thing..

I can't pick one- my wedding, my brothers wedding, my first child

seeing my sister graduate from college

Re: If there was one thing..

I cannot pick one either - I am just so lucky my mother was at my wedding.

I would love to hear both of my parents voices....It has been so long since I heard my mother voice...and it has only been a week since I heard myfathers voice....But it feels like an eternity.

The last thing my dad said to me was - After I put my arm around him to hug him....He grabbed my arm - pulled it to his lips...Kissed my arm and said he loved me very much.

Re: If there was one thing..

So many things, I agree, every moment.... but for me I want to hear her voice for the first time. I want to meet her. I have no memory of her to go on to help me heal.
Try to exercise your memory and hear her voice as often as you can so you don't lose that. It must be a very special (but heartbreaking) thing to be able to replay her kind words, or her laughter.

Re: If there was one thing..

I agree there are so many things. I have to agree with someone else on here. My mom had such an infectious laugh. I would give anything to hear it again.

Re: If there was one thing..

It's hard to pick just one- but i would kill for a hug from her.

Re: If there was one thing..

I was dreaming this last night and i woke up in hysterics. just whenyou think you're ok, reality bites you in the a$$!!!!! I WISH i could feel comforted by it but everytime i think or dream about it i just have breakdowns. but u give me hope that maybe one day i will feel her hug me and i will be able to smile.

Re: If there was one thing..

There are sooo many things I'd love to have with my Mom, but all in all....I'd just love to be held by her again.

Re: If there was one thing..

It is so hard to pick just one but i would love one more hug or one of his phone calls where he would tell me how proud he was of me and how much he loved me. I would give the world for either one.

Re: If there was one thing..

my dad had the best smile! he had a gap in his teeth - but it was very charming.

Re: If there was one thing..

i would want to have her at my wedding. just that one day, even if it were only for the ceremony.

Re: If there was one thing..

Oh man I cant even read this thread now....I miss my parents and everything about them so much

Re: If there was one thing..

I would want her to hug me...I always felt so safe! Oh and also...she used to sing in the car and it always made me laugh

Re: If there was one thing..

WOW....I've been reading this thread over and over for 3 days now....there is so many things I could think of that I would want to hear for either of my parents. They died within less than a year of each other.

Re: If there was one thing..

I would love to hear her tell me about how my sisters and I were as babies and any advice she could give me. I have felt so lost this past year taking care of my daughter and I constantly think about what she may have done in similar situations. (My Dad is in his own little world and remembers nothing of our childhood)

Aside from that I would love to just see her, touch her, smell her, hug her...anything. She passed 18 years ago when I was 13 so my memories are few and fading

Re: If there was one thing..

I would want her to hold my son.

Re: If there was one thing..

Re: If there was one thing..

A hug

Re: If there was one thing..

Hi all;

first off let me convey to all of you...

I hope you do not mind me posting on this thread as it is about my father...that said, My father died suddenly many years ago while on his way to work..i was 15..I cannot pin down one thing if i really think about it..but if I had just 5 seconds more to see him again it would just be the opportunity to tell him I love him and thank you...

thank you for letting me share on this thread

Re: If there was one thing..

I would do anything just to hear my mothers voice, you forget that after 2 years, her laugh and most of all her love, no matter what she was and still will be my best friend who made me what I am today.
