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! David

I wish you could, too, David. In sympathy, Joy

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

My Mum, my Dad, and so many others including Mr Ken Bigley. Joy

hi all i would bring back my brave little daughter lauren jessie who was born with a heart defect and died in 1998 at 2and ten months unexpectedly after giving her big brother a kiss. eileen glasgow

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

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

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.

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)

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.

i know this is probably really selfish, but as i sit with tears in my eyes for my mum and all shes missed in the 10years shes been gone, i couldnt bring her back for a day as i couldnt bare to let her go again. i miss her so much, my kids and husband and my dad miss her too, and now as the tears are falling ill leave this.

Hi bridget.I think the inital pain eases but I get sad for all the things he missed out on,as I said before my Dad died 18yrs ago.He missed all my childrens weddings so at each wedding I had special flowers at the church and then went and laid them on his grave.He missed all his great-grand-children's happy smiling faces,and all the things both happy and sad that have happened since he passed away.Yesterday was the Grand National and although he was not a betting man he used to" like a flutter "and he would also put a bet on for me.I haven't done so since he died but it was yet another day like so many through out the year to remember him with love Lynn

Hi Everyone, I would love to bring back my Dad i lost him last August even though my Mum and Dad divorced when i was 17,and i am 54 now it still hurts. I used to see Dad and chat on the phone but i hoped all those years that my mum and him would get back together but sadly no. We sat with Dad when he died i told him i loved him and i would see him again,but i miss him so much i chat to him every day (no i am not mad). Can anyone tell me when the pain starts to ease? I am on sleeping tablets but they do not help alot. Please any advice would be a help. Thank You

I would bring back my Grandpa and we would go to a test match at Headingley together. We both love cricket but never got to go to a Test Match together. Iif only we could do this.

Hi Lynda, Is it me or is GC playing up tonight - seems very slow ? Dad got into the family research about 10 years ago and got some old family portraits reproduced to hang on the wall in his study. Funny that I liked the photos, but didn't pay much attention at the time. He died in 2000 and just before Xmas I found a hand-drawn family tree he had done. There were some mistakes, but it really helped me get started. He never had internet access to help him, but he was an engineer & so would have taken to the technology. So sad I can never show him what I've found out. I'd have liked him to see this: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb(.)com/~wingrove/s-marshall-rick.htm That's his mum - Beatrice Fanny Wingrove. I'm sure he would have been proud ! Rick.

My dad. Apart from missing him, he would have just loved everything I've found out about the family, GC, the internet & the whole thing. Rick.

Dawn.I read your reply and it brought tears to my eyes as like you I would bring my dad back.Its been 18yrs and not a day goes by that I don't miss him, and often have a little weep when polishing his photo frame Lynn

Bill, just have to say, a huge hug and lots of love. M.

I would bring back my Mum so she could meet her 4 Great Grandchildren. She used to say she was longing to be a Great Grandma. She was a brilliant Grandma and would have given my Grandchildren so much love. My elder son's daughter was born 9 months after Mum died (on 6 February 1997) and is named after her. Do I believe in reincarnation? I think I do. My Dad died on 5 April 1987 and Mum missed him so much. She had 10 years without him, but now they are reunited, I hope. I would have to bring them both back - I couldn't separate them again! Sue

I would bring back all my grandparents so they could get to know there two beautiful great granddaughters, and I could quiz them about my ancestors and get a little further with this tree!!
