Good morning!

Okay, here we go...

If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be, and why?
 
My maternal grandmother. She died when I was about 10 years old. She died at age 66. She had cancer. She was my best friend as a kid. I vaguely recall times spent at her house. I was there all of the time and never wanted to leave. Since she died when I was so young I never really got to know her. I mean, I knew her as my grandma whom I loved dearly but I wish I could have known the "real person" behind grandma-the woman she was. Do you know what I mean? Gosh, I miss her so much. She's been gone for about 25 years and thinking of her still warms my heart and bring tears to my eyes.

Sorry for getting so heavy and serious...this is supposed to be a light-hearted thread!
 
I would have to say Matthew Mconahey.
Dinner and a movie . LOL... As to say
Who needs dinner. I could just stare at him...
 
Easy.

My Mom.

She passed away 19 years ago and I have so many questions for her. And so much to share about my immediate family with her.

If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.
 
WOW! Tough one. BTW...I've really enjoyed reading everybody's posts each day!

OK...my answer. And NOT to get all teary-eyed.

I'd have dinner with my late DH. At the time he got sick, we were having some real issues in our relationship. After his diagnosis, there just never seemed to be a good time to talk about some of the big issues, so a lot of things went unsaid. I'd like just 3 hours with him, clear my head and my chest, and let him rest in peace.

Good question!!!!!!!!!

I've been fortunate not to have lost anyone very close to me as of yet. So...

Jesus. I have a hard time subscribing to the dogma of any church. If I could, I'd sit him down and ask him to give me the real story.
 
I would love to have dinner with my Dad who passed away many years ago. I have so much to tell him that would make him so proud. I also have so much to thank him for. I miss him.

Good question.....

I would have dinner with my friend Nick. He passed away in '03 from a drinking and driving accident with a friend. He and I were first loves, and after we broke up we never talked again. Which I feel terrible about. I said that the next time I saw him I was going to talk to him and I never had that chance. He was a really great person.

My grandpa,Who passed when I was eight.He died of colon cancer that spread just about everywhere.He was an amazing man,I do dream about him,sometimes,of course its how I remember him,giving us $ for candy and reading books to us! I just wished that I could of known him better!...maybe one day....!

My Dad.....but if he had other plans I'd sure like to chat with Rosa Luxemburg, or maybe General Patton, or maybe Robert S. McNamara...I have lots of questions....
 
This may sound lame to everyone, but there is no one else in the world that I would rather eat dinner with than my husband. Yes, he's alive and well but that doesn't change the fact that I would want to spend time with him!

OK, there are all the obvious, at least to me, choices. Jesus (I plan on meeting him, so crossed him off the list right away), Paul (ditto), Mary and on and on with the religious folk. Then there are the historical: Washington, Ben Franklin, Lincoln, Robert E Lee (I paused and thought hard here), Queen Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots, FDR, Captain Cook. The politial choices: Nelson Mandela, Lec Walensa (spelling?), Martin Luther King. Literary figures? Hemmingway, Shakespeare, Jane Austin. Hmmm, the famous - Jimmy Buffett (high on the list of possibilites). Then there are the family members. My maternal grandmother, who died before I was born. My Aunt Susan, who my mother adored, my paternal grandmother (who I knew and loved), my paternal great grandfather who fled the genocide in Armenia. But I think I've narrowed it down to Anne Morrow Lindbergh. She lived an amazing life, wrote beautifully, and I think I would actually like her as a person. I'm sure I'll come up with about 50 more choices before the day is over, but, yeah, I think I'll stick with her.
 
This is hard.... at first I was going to say my husband. He is my bestest friend and I love spending time with him, but after some thought I think my grandmother. We were very close all my life and the last few years of her life she was in florida with my parents and developed Alzheimers. (I didn't get to see her much) I would like to say goodbye... which I never got to do when she died- she died suddenly.

My grandfather. He died the year I was born so I never got to meet him. He was an inventor and seemed like a really great guy. From the stories that I have heard he seemed to have a quick wit and was a really unique individual. He used to make furniture and I actually have a couple of his pieces in my home. My mom was pregnant with me and my sister when he died. When I was born, everyone said I looked like him.
 
Ok, I have marinated.

I would love to say that I would love dinner with famous people from history or otherwise, but my mind tells me that is too far out there.

I guess the person I would love to have dinner with right now would be my brother. He was the black sheep and I have not heard from him in nearly 14 years. I hear snippets regarding him now and again. I would like just one quiet evening to talk to him face to face. I don't think that I could change the path he has chosen, however there are alot of things I would like to get off my chest regarding his choices. Talking on the phone, writing letters, just don't feel the same as face time.
 
I would choose my mother-in-law.

DH and I started dating in 1987 (boy, that shows my age) and his mom died of cancer in 1986 so I never met her. Her name was Helen and my DD is named after her. She never drove but was always on the go here and there - garage sales, volunteering at church, you name it. She sounds like a wonderful woman and I'd like to ask her about DH when he was a little boy and ask for advice on raising kids.

I would pick my grandmother (on my mom's side). I only saw her twice and she had dementia, so she never knew who I was and didn't even recognize my mom. All I know are stories my mom has told me about her. She was full blooded Indian and I would love to be able to ask her questions about her life and our family history. On a side note - I had this dream after seeing her for the last time (I was 13) that she was well and told me she loved me and talked to me for a while and then said goodbye. When I woke up, I told mom that that was the last time we were going to see grandma. We went back for her funeral a week later. I'll never know if she somehow really did say goodbye or if it was just a very imaginative dream. Regardless, I would still like the chance to meet her again, so I would definitely pick her.
