It’s That Time of Year Again
I had a different title but that was at 9:00 AM CST and I’ve forgotten what it was. But…I did remember what I was going to blog about*!
It’s That Time of Year Again…you know….almost Halloween. And on Halloween supposedly it’s the time when the veil between our world and the world of the…dead….is at it’s thinnest. So, if you could speak to one person that’s no longer among the living, who would it be and what would that conversation sound like? Come on now…be creative!

*I think I was supposed to give away some books last Tuesday or the week before….If so, I’ll be back on Friday to give them away along with a copy of Hands On or Built to any of today’s commenters (BTW Comment at will….I won’t be around all day so I’m not ignoring ya’ll I’m just not here :doh: )

I have an insane fear of zombies so I don’t mess with the dead in any form. It was a stretch for me going to a museum store with Shell that had a mummified corpse.
I did try to explain to it (the corpse) that I didn’t mean any disrespect and if it felt it needed to take vengence on the ones who disrepected his body to remember I was the one who thought it was horrible to have him displayed the way they did.

I’d have to try and speak to my Grandad. I know he’s not there though. He lives in the body of my 11 year old. That boy has the most bizarre relationship with my Grandma and he’s soooo like Grandad in other ways. They never met, I was just pregnant with Robbie when he died. I got Grandad’s favorite chair after he went and he used to sit in the damn thing in the middle of the night when I got up to get a drink. There I’d be waddling down the hall big belly sticking out and he’d be sitting in that chair clear as day. I had to get rid of the chair.
Scared the crap out of me every time. I guess it doesn’t help that Robbie’s named after him.

I think it would be both of my Grandpas and my grandma. Both of my Grandpas died when both of my parents were young so I don’t know a lot about either one. One was in World War II and the other one died mysteriously. We was told that he drowned. Someone told my dad recently that when the nurse and doctor was trying to save him, that he wasn’t wet. So we don’t know what happened. I would just like to talk about anything with my grandma.

Hmmm. I’d love to talk to some of my ancestors who were on, like, the second boat over.

I would speak w/ my great-grandma who died a week after I was born (I never met her; I was in Alaska and she was in west Texas). I swear to God, she watches over me–there have been too many times . . . well I won’t go into that, but I think it’s her don’t know why, but I do.

I would love to speak with my maternal grandmother. She died when my mom was a senior in high school, needless to say I never met her. All of my relatives that remember her say I look and act just like her.

That’s so interesting that most of us want to speak to our grandparents, and that’s exactly who I’d like to talk to. I’d talk to my grandpa scotty, just to tell him that I loved him one more time.
And then I’d like to talk to Jack the Ripper to find out who he *really* was!

Love the idea of talking with my ancestors. I think talking to my Irish great grandparents who made the trip to the U.S. would be fascinating.

I would love to talk to my great grandmother who lived to be 110. I have heard great things about her. I would ask her what is the secret to living a long and productive life and during all her years what does she consider the best time of her life.

Popping in real quick! Kim H I’d love to say good bye to my mom too. She died in 01 in a car accident and our last conversation was…well…a fight two days before and she hung up on me and …I never called her back.
I’d like to talk to my biological grandmother too–she ALSO died in a car accident (it’s a wonder I drive!) when I was three.
Nathalie thanks! I like yours too!
More later…I’m going back to bed.

I choose my grandpa too. He died when I was 14 and I miss him so much. I still dream about him too sometimes so yeah, I’d ask Grandpa what’s up? LOL

I am so glad that the last words I said to my mom were “I love you. Let me stay home tomorrow because it’s a b…it day and I’ll take care of you.” She died about 1 1/2 hours later, mysteriously. She had the flu but never told us that she had COPD- hit it from my dad, brother and myself. I learned not to stay angry with people. I miss her four years later. She was the heart of our home.

I’d like to talk to my grandparents - and Nostradomus. How did he come up with all those eerie predictions?????
October 31st, 2007 at 9:41 pm
I never meet my maternal grandmother. She died when my mom was a teen. I’d want my mom to be there if I ever got to talk to my grandmother.
