Your question comes up on my feed and yesterday after all my nonsense talking here, as I lay down to sleep I thought of this again. I stand by my answer, no one, was thinking , even if I could it wouldn’t be the same. What would be the purpose but more sadness. I think I tried my best for the person I was at the time and I said all I wanted to. However I am not the same person, it would feel like messing with time. The realm of the dead doesn’t belong to the realm of the living. It would feel like messing with the fabric of the universe. Does that make sense? They live on in my heart.
Thanks for posting this.

I fully agree with you on this. I've thought about it a lot since my first posting here which I've subsequently deleted, but couldn't help thinking of this same question again as I too laid down and thought about it.
You're quite right, we're not the same people that we once were and despite what we might think could have happened if only... the fact remains that we did the best we could at the time with what we knew and with what we had to work with. And we always must remember that if we wanted them back even for just one hour, then we'd have to take them back exactly as we last saw them, not how we'd prefer that they'd be. We can't have it both ways here!
We must move forward with our life or be destined to repeating our past by living in the past in our mind, as we make our feeble attempt to make it right according to what we think 'right' is by us.

@swirlie it’s not easy though

What about you, Ned? Who would you sit on a bench with for an hour if you could?

@MyMonstersAreReal My thought too that an hour is not long enough so for my own selfish sake I'd rather not re-open old wounds

My father. I would mainly thank him for all he did for me and tell him about all that has happened with the family since his death 25 years ago.

My grandmother I never knew. I'd like to know what kind of person she was. I mean, my grandfather too but he wasn't a part of my past. I was born 2 years after he died.
