And todays question is....

if you could have a day to sit and talk and spend time with 2 people, who would it be and why? Mine would be my dad.  He died 3 years ago, and there is not a day that goes by that I dont want to talk to him, ask him a question, tell him a joke or hear him tell me a joke.   My second one would be Peter from the Bible.  He had it going on, and seemed to be so real.  It would be great to see what it was like to walk w/God all day on a daily basis. Have a great day everyone!!! Hugs, Rhonda D.

Ok....I think you read my mind....it kind of gives me goosebumps!!  I have been a little stressed lately for numerous reasons and just this morning while I was driving to work I was thinking how nice it would be to have my great-grandmother here with me. She died in March of 2000. I miss her terribly.  She was a very important part of my life. So, my first person would be my geat-grandmother.  My second person, would be my Pa-Paw. He died in November of 2000. I miss him a lot too. Every time I look around the farm where I live, I see little reminders of him!  Great question! What about the rest of you out there??   Karen

It would have to be Jesus because he is, well... Jesus and my daughter's gymnastics coach. He was a member of the 68 mens olympic team and has coached several womens olympic champions. I could just sit and listen to both of them tell stories and never open my mouth.

I guess that would be Jesus and my mother. I would want my mother to be there because I know that she would love to hear Jesus speak as much as I would. Man just think of all the things he would tell you and you could ask. THere would be no confusion on what anything in the bible really means. No one could twist it and tell you it really means something else. The things one could learn.

this is the hardest thing for me to answer..........I am actually crying while posting this. I can not choose just 2 people so I chose 3 and I am sure you will all understand. Person 1: My father, I never knew him thanks to mom, he is now in a nursing home suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome from viet nam, severe alcoholism and depression and possibly dementia. I have seen him only 1 time in 30 years and I let him see his only grandchildren. I am his only child. I am a part of him and want to tell him I love him.

Person 2 : My fathers mom, she came to the U.S from Czechoslavakia back in the early 20's I think. I am the 3rd generation of my fathers family here in the states. I am just like her, short, stout, mean and love cats.........I think it would be great to learn of her life in Europe and her journey to the states. She died when I was 7. ok person 3 truly tears my heart out.......... Person 3: my 21 yr old son my mother and her husband made me give up for adoption in Texas when I was in high school. I dont know him and do not know where he is due to the closed adoption. I want to tell him I loved him and thats why I gave him up after kissing him and holding him for only 10 short minutes. From the moment I felt him move in my belly to the moment they took him from my arms I loved him...it only grew..........and it does every day. I want him to understand I gave him up out of love and my mom and her husband made me.........there is no greater love than that of a birth mother.......please understand my decision...... of course those 3 people are in no particular order and there are many famous and not so famous people I would like to meet.....but those 3 are priortiy.

 

Jesus and my grandmother.  I would just love to sit and learn from Jesus whatever He wanted me to know and my grandmother because she died 11 years ago and she's the first person who talked to me about Jesus that I can remember. Jackie

This one is easy for me!  My first person would be my Grandpa Courtney...he died when I was 8 and I've never really let him go, he's always in my heart and mind.  My second person would be my great great grandfather on my mother's side, Jesse Thomas Young...I've been searching for his family for years (I do a lot of geneology) and can not find any record of him as a child, therefore no record of his family...I would love to talk to him and find out where they came from and who his parents were.  I did not include Jesus on my list of 2 for this simple reason:  I talk to Jesus every day and when I need questions answered, He provides those answers...so I already have that communication with Him! I'd give just about anything to see my grandpa just one more time though...I still miss him so much.  Great question Rhonda!

I must say it would be my parents. They died 16 months apart. My Daddy, and hero, in 2002 and my Mother, and best friend, in 2004. I will count them as one because they are together now. I miss my Daddys huggs and my Mothers calming voice.
My 2nd would be my Grandmother, Rosie. I returned her to God in 1992. She taught me about Jesus, how to cook, how to be a "Lady", and how to have self respect. She gave me good orderly direction in my life and she was also my secret keeper not to mention the stories she could tell me....OMG. they were amazing! One important thing she taught me was to dream and never give up on them!
Great question! You go Rhonda D!
Huggs,
Rhonda T
Jackie, I agree with you . My Grandmother is the 1st one who talked about Jesus to me. She taught me how to be a Grandmother. Maybe one day I will have a Grandchild and be the kind of Grandmother that she was to me.
Denice, Ditto on the relationship with Jesus. Without it, I would be nothing!

What great answers!!!  As I sit here and tears are rolling down my cheeks, I am reminded of how blessed we all are, as I could have listed 10 or more, as Im sure we all can.  There is my first husband I burried almost 6 years ago when I was 27, and the list goes on from there.  We all have people that impact our lives so greatly, and I know that now as in years to come, I wish daily that I could sit down w/all of you, and we could laugh and cry together in person.  We all know we cry and laugh together on screen, but oh what a loud and racous reunion we will have when we can all set a day and get together.  Im working on trying to do that this summer.  Look for postings on my gathering planning.  Hugs to all, and thanks for the goosebumps and tears. Rhonda D.

2 of my best friends from when I was in college that I have lost touch with.  I miss them both very much and would like to know what they are up too, etc.
