All of you made me tear up reading your posts. To those of you who never got to say goodbye to your loved ones, know that they knew how much you loved them and that they wouldn't want you to feel bad for missing the chance to say goodbye. If I could have one more day it would either be with my Nana because she loved my whole family so unconditionally, and I would have brought her back on my sisters wedding day. Or my cousin Serena who died in a car accident at 16, so that she would have a chance to bring peace to her mother and the rest of us who miss her.

For me, it wouldn't be a relative (I haven't had many pass on) but my best friend's little sister died. i never met her (they live in a different country) but afterwards i wished that i had so i could at least know a little what my friend was feeling...but i do feel her with me a lot. since i dont have a deceased relative, i always think of her. **“In my mind, I’ve always been an A-list Hollywood superstar.

My dad. He died when I was 15, and I've always wondered if I was the person he thought I'd be...or something in that realm. Yeah.

well she isn't dead, but the part of her that i miss is gone forever. i'd like one more day with my 8 year old daughter jenna; without autism. just to hear her voice, to know her thoughts and feelings, to see her be a big sister in the true sense of the word, to be able to just "be" with jenna with out medication and worrying about all the things that always enter into our days. like the song says: I'd hold you every second, Say a million I love you's, That's what I'd do, with one more day with you,.

Without a doubt.... My sister, she was taken too soon (5 days after her 21st birthday) and without warning (car accident). I'd like to tell her I love her and be able to hug her and say goodbye.

My father, while he was in the hospital after a heart attach I was told to leave the room because they were preparing him for transfer to another hospital. He told me not to leave him but I told him I would see me again, I would be back. He lost consciousness and never made it out of surgery. I never got to say goodbye or keep my promise. ChillGirl

No question on this one...my grandmother who I loved and adored and still miss to this day even though she passed away almost 30 years ago.

my grandfather, he died two months ago yesterday. i want to talk to him and make sure he's doing better. he suffered so much in the end. and i'm all the way on the other side of the country so i wasn't there for him. i feel like i didn't get to tell him i love him and that i'm sorry that i wasn't there. and how much i miss him.

my grandma. She loved me endlessly even though she was thousands of miles away and had not seen me since I was a baby. Hearing her on the phone took me away fromt he craziness of Florida, and brought me to some peace. I miss her.

My grandfather. Not to long ago i was remembering how he would take me out after school and play jump rope with me after school. Ever since i was born i guess we had a connection since i was born on his birthday. He died when i was younger and i wish i could have told him how much i appreciate him being in my life as a male figure since my dad was never around.

My maternal grandmother. He was sick and bedridden my entire life and I never heard his voice...I'd love to spend a day with him healthy just so I can hear what his voice sounded like. He had throat/lung cancer from working in mines and lost his voicebox, chin, etc. He wouldn't learn sign language so he wrote us lots of notes when we were with him to have a conversation but I wish I could hear his voice.
