...but you can't bring anyone back from the dead.....

......what would you ask for ?

I was just thinking about this...

I hear my mothers' voice in my head... but they're words, not her actual voice..not her accent...

I would love to have a video or a recording of her voice, so that when I miss her I can hear her again...


what would you like to have, real or surreal ?

Some video's from my childhood. We do have some films without sound, which is already quite something. I showed/gave it with a reunion. They loved it. I think my parents were the only ones from that class who had such a thing. There's a film of us going on a school trip with a bus and at a playground.

But lately my son was watching old videos from them as young kids and there are so many. They're very fun.
 
The feeling of pride 1st. time I took home money from my pay working as an apprentice butcher to give it to my mother to help with family expenses. After that still contributing to house hold expenses buying & paying for a car I wanted.

My father was legally blind but never did he or my mother seek out or get any kind of government aid.I honestly don't know how they stretched his pay from his job working in a steel mill. He was able to operate a reamer to assure a clean interior on specialty tubes. I learned much later those tubes were used in Navy submarines and never failed.

All I know is he could see pretty clearly down to his finger tips so setting the lathe was possible.
 
This might be surreal. Or just a make-believe fantasy wish.
A year...OK even 6 months, of time out of any of my teenage years, to relive...... if I could know what I know now.
But only if my choices and actions could affect the trajectory of my life after that year.......or 6 months.

So I could pick up on my life again, now, at 73 years old..........having avoided some foolish actions and decisions that
I actually did do, and benefited from a wiser preparation for the life to develop in the years to come.

If that makes any clear sense.......

certainly makes sense to me....:)
 
To be with my kids when they were young again. They are of course older now & we have grown apart somewhat since they have their families. I cherish those times & certainly took for granted the fun times we had. I do have VHS videos of them I took when they were younger & enjoy watching from time to time. But no regrets
