My parents. They're no longer here and I'd love to know what they think about me now and have their views on all manner of things. They passed over a long time ago but I still miss them and think about them most days. |

I can sit on a bench for long periods of time.
Talk to anyone who wants to sit and have a chat there.
I also did it when ive taken the 2 children to the park.
Had loverly chats with the ladies with no desire to meet stare or be a general creep. |

"My mum.
We would sit with a cup of tea, watching the birds and not really saying anything.
That's very touching  "
It's the anniversary of her passing today and I'm a little tearful.
We spent many evenings sitting in her garden listening to the blackbird on the roof singing away.
We would have a wander around her garden looking at her plants, then sit for a couple of hours with a cup of tea, staring at the sky.

"My grandfather. He was my hero and I’d give anything to be able to spend time with him again. "
Mine would also be my grandad, he was everything to me when I was growing up |

My partner, it’s been over 3 years since he passed suddenly while I had just nipped out to get my mum who was visiting my dad in hospital. It’s that horrible feeling in your heart that you never got to say a proper goodbye coz you think they will be there when you get back but he wasn’t and never will be  |

"My late wife, I kissed her goodbye in the morning when I went to work saying I would see her when I got home.
Just to tell her how much she meant to me, and how much I loved her"
Aww mate… you’re one of the nicest mist caring men I’ve come across. I can’t imagine she didn’t know how you felt for her. But I fully understand what you are saying… I don’t ever have a day doing anything where I don’t tell my daughter the same. |

So sorry to read that 
My husband had a long journey with cancer but was in remission.
Chemo damaged his heart. He’d always been in and out of hospital and we all assumed he’d be out again.
I told him I loved him. The next day he was intubated and died 3 days later. I just prayed he heard all I said to him |

Grandfathers on my mum's side. My mum's dad died 20 years before I was born, so I never knew him. My Gran later remarried and he died when I was three, so again, never got to know him. Would love to spend some time getting to know them. |

So many people have lost loved ones.
For me, would have to be my dad. I'd have a long conversation about anything even his daft jokes, to hear his voice and laughter again.

"It would literally be anyone. Everyone is interesting at some level."
When I lived in London I used to eat my lunch in Regents Park and usually had to share a bench. Met some amazing characters, full of stories. |

"Who would it be .For me an old English teacher who used to say you have brains to burn . I took no notice who knows if I had. How about you .
. "
Well now you've said this I would have to say my old maths teacher who used to say very strictly 'You have to learn this as you won't always have a calculator to do it for you!'
Mind you, I wouldn't need an hour to go 'HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!' |

I could name a dozen or more famous people or historical figures, but in reality it would be my Grandma. I’d fill her in on all the things she’s missed in the family since she passed 13 years ago. |

My grandad, he died when I was 10. He taught me to play golf, how to place bets and work out accumulators, how to navigate by the stars, and took me to football amongst a host of other things.
My favourite memories of him are staying at my grandparents and sharing a Canadian Club and Canada Dry (I don’t know if there was whiskey in mine but I like to think so) and when he was driving around town I’d sit on his knee and ‘steer’ the car.
My mum often comments that things I do and say remind her of him. Without doubt it is the most special relationship I’ve ever had |

My grandfather (on my dads side) he passed away when I was 5 years old from motor neurone disease so I have one vague memory off him..
Reason I say him is because Ive always wanted to have a discussion with him as an adult man to man...
I always hear good things about him from various family members as he was a well respected and calm tempered man.
He used to work in the ambulance service and then when he and my dads side off the family moved to the UK in the 1970s he became a traffic warden..
I was always interested in speaking with the man who was my grandfather because I wanted to see what he was like to talk and confide in like I do with my own parents and siblings...
Most importantly I wanted to know what that mans secret was to being a calm and collected character kind off person unlike myself from a generation long gone.....
one can only wonder I knew my other grandparents and got on with them for the most part |

My younger self.
Just sit together in agreed silence both desperate to ask and answer questions.
Younger self would want to know so much older self has so many answers.
But I'd hug myself and whisper " be strong thing's are going to be bad you'll make mistakes but you will have love in your life and witness thing's you can't even begin to know how amazing, and tell dad you love him and to stop smoking immediately and go to the doctor for a full check up" |
