The obvious answer is my Dad but after that I would really like to have spent more quality time with FIL. Regret not getting to know him better but I was young and selfish with my time.

Sorry for your loss bro.
Not as much for me, but I'd give a lot to be able to have my kids spend time with my grandpas, they were both such a trip in their own ways. One was big on teasing and joking with us kids - it'd be a real show to see him with them.

The best man in my wedding died in a boating accident May 5, 2012. My phone rang at 6:00 in the morning after a night out at REGGIES (I turn 30 this month). Worst day of my life. I'd give anything to be able to watch him play with his little girl or sit in a duck blind with him one more time.

I'd give up all my material possessions to see my great grandparents again. I was extremely close to them.
My son is a split image of my great grandpa.

When that REALLY got to be hard to think about was when I had my two boys. Here I was spending tons of time with them, making "memories" and feeling their love for me...and knowing that until they got to a certain age at least, if something happened to me, they'd never remember any of it. When they were young I'd often times feel myself get depressed about it...just the worry of what would happen if.
I think about this too, and how if I die before he gets to a certain age, he might end up calling some other guy dad. Makes me sad and mad at the same time.
Not a healthy though, and I keep it out of my head most of the time, but I guess it's inevitable for it to slip in there on occasion.

That's not entirely true...my sons are now 12 and nearly 8, so I'm fairly confident that they'd remember me pretty well. But when they were really young, but had been around long enough for me to know THEM really well, it really was tough to know that I had been in that exact position with my mom and she must have felt the same things for me as I felt for them...and now I feel nothing in return because I don't remember any of that with her.

I would give everything, including my life, to spend time with my son who died 11 years ago at age 22. We would spend time together while he played his beloved PRS guitar, which he had for only 2 months before his death.

My granddad on my Mom's side for sure. Heard he was a real piece of work in a good way. I'd sit and listen, sleep and listen some more.
If I could put the meeting off 10 years or so, I'd give it all.

I'd like to spend time with my dad's father...he died when my dad was in college and I never met him.
I'd like to spend time with my wife's mom...she died 5 years before I met her...I'd love to talk to her about my wife...
I'd also like to play one more round of golf with my friend Howard...I miss that guy...on the little course we always played in Santa Maria...hear him derisively call me king and see him drop one more "bomb" (long putt)...

My pawpaw (moms dad).My dad is a good dad in terms of providing and even caring, but he didn't have that father gene which is fine because he still is a good and interesting man. But my pawpaw taught me everything from not just saying you're a Christian but the daily walk, I still respect him so much for that. And all the other things like hunting, fishing, and sports. Id love to watch a LSU game with him again so I could hear him gripe and change the channel. More than anything though the time he invested in his family, he was the hub and it hasn't been the same since he passed. For those who don't believe in God, my PawPaw's favorite thing to do was fish. He died while in his boat in Bayou Pigeon sitting in his boat arms stretched wide open with a smile on his face, all while he died of a heart attack. I dont think that is coincidence. This was in 2006, and I was 18. I'd do anything to see him again, and one day I will ...just miss him.

My son, my father, the list could get long. We have people in our lives now who are still with us. Concentrate on them. The time to see the others will come when I die and it will last an eternity. It is natural to grieve. It is important to learn from past mistakes. Enjoy the ones that you love now why they are still with you.

My best friend died about an hour ago from cancer. So, I guess him.
I wouldn't be posting here, but I'm stuck at work and am pretty much by myself.

This right here. My wife and I don't discuss it anymore...it still hurts too much. But, I think about that kid all the time.

Hang in there Bud, sorry to hear about Gma's passing.
At least you were there for her these past 2 weeks everyday and past years assisting her. :)
