QOTD 1/9

If you could have one dinner with any person, living or dead, who would it be?  What would you ask them?

I would probably want to have dinner with my dads father.  He left my grandma with 4 kids to raise on her own in Juarez, Mexico while he went off and started another family with someone else in Florida.  I'd like to know why he left them and hear his side of the story.  He passed away last year and the last my dad saw or spoke to him was ~40 years ago.  The good that came from it is that the Florida family is pretty cool and my dads half brother looks so much like him.  It's crazy!

My maternal grandmother, who died when I was 9. As I've grown up, I've been told by my whole family how alike I am to her, how much she'd love my husband, etc. It'd be neat to have a conversation with her as an adult and see all those things we have in common.

My second choice would be Gene Roddenberry, just because I'm a Trekkie and a nerd, LOL.

I usually hate these types of questions, but lately I have been thinking a little harder about it. I think it would be my H's grandfather that died five years before we started dating. DH hints about how much he looked up to him, and he is not a person who looks up to a lot of people. I would just love to meet and talk with his grandfather to have some more of a glimpse into DH's past.

My maternal Grandma... I miss her... we use to go out for dinners together...

When I was pregnant with DS I dreamt I met her at a restaurant and we talked for hours... about where my life was headed and how proud she was of me...again this pregnancy the other night I had a very similar dream...  I miss her.

That's a tough one!

First choice would be my great-grandmother. She passed away when I was 13, we were very close and I would love to have one more chance to be with her. She was still a big part of my wedding though...I wrapped my bouquet with one of her hankies for my something old, and my something blue was her sapphire ring pinned to my bouquet. I also brought my bouquet to the cemetery after the wedding (with the hankie and ring removed LOL) and placed it on her grave.

Second choice would be my father. I've never met him (he left my mom before I was born) and he died when I was in college. I would want to know why he chose to ignore my existence all those years and not even at least pay his child support. My mom tells me that she doesn't think that even he would know the answers to those questions : /

I would love to meet/talk to my maternal grandfather. He died 9 years before I was born and I hear every day how amazing he was and would love to talk to him myself.

H's dad.  He died 8 years ago, so I never met him.  I'd love to hear his stories about H when he was growing up, and see where H gets some of his quirks from... and hope he approves of me.

i would have to say my Mom~ She passed away when i was 17 ( i am 32 now) i am the youngest of 7 kids. And i never really got to know my mom, since when she got sick i was still a bratty teenager (16)  and in the my parents know nothing stage! i didnt get to the part where you become friends with you parents because she passed away 2 weeks after i graduated h.s.
