Julie, I agree with you. I lost my mum before christmas and it would break my heart to have her back for a day and then to lose her again.

Oh my word George, that can of worms again.. I would definately bring back my grannie who died in January just gone, aged 94. She was the best and we all miss her badly. I would choose her because i have found out things about her family since her death (the reason i started this) that she would just have loved to have known. i.e. when and where her brother was killed during WW2 and where he is buried. And most of all just to give her one last bit kiss and a squeeze as i didn't see her from the August of last year. Pam (feeling all sentimental)

Hi, I would bring my mom back she died 33 years ago and I still miss her very much. Just for one day she would be able to see her two great grand daughters I wish. Bye June.

Such a hard choice but I'd bring back my Grandma who died in May 1998, two months before I got married. It saddened me so much that she so narrowly missed her first grandchild's wedding. Otherwise I'd bring back my Great Grandmother who died in Canada aged 99 in 1994. I only discovered that side of the family in 1992 and bitterly regret never being able to make the journey over to see her. Lou

If only......... My Husband who died in August last year, and have him free from pain. It's just coming up to his favourite time of year, and he was too ill last year to really appreciate it. Lynda

I would like to bring back the child we never new. My wife had a misscarriage only weeks into pregnancy, we both wondered wether it was a boy or girl and grieved all our lives for it, so it would be nice to meet up and find out. David

George Thats a wonderful thought:) Would love to bring my Gran back - even if for only an hour - so much to tell her about everyone and I've even solved the mystery of her aunt:) I used to go in every day all my life and even 5 years later I can't think about her properly for long - better stop!

I would bring back my brother, Ian, who committed suicide in 1982, when he was 24 and I was just 18. I would love to ask him what made him do it and how could we have prevented it. I never stop thinking of him after 22 years and I would like to know if he knows I named my first son after him. Before his death, he often spoke about starting our family tree, and in some small way, I like to think his memory stays a little stronger because I am trying to do this. He was very much loved, and it would ease my mind to know for sure that he knew this. Carol. x

Give me back my Aunty Jean and Uncle Harry. What a pair they were. They were such opposites but made a great team. Parties, whatever they were marvellous people. He looked like Spencer Tracy, wonderful singing voice. She very good looking but the jokes she made up about their lives together were hysterical.. Wish I had written them down. Could have published a book. Both were very kind hearted, never had children but really we had two sets of parents. Always in my thoughts My childrren remember them with affection. Wish I had them here just for today. Would like to introduce them to my grandchildren.
