Dear Melinda,
I have r...Wednesday, June 30th, 2010<br /><br />Dear Melinda,<br />I have read every word of this post -- and it has made me so weepy and teary-eyed that I can hardly see to type this. If I could go back in time... If I could... I would be hugging all of my family-members and asking them to tell me things. I would be telling them how much I love them. I would be writing letters like mad to relatives that live far away so that they would have those letters to read. I would say things that I never dare to say. <br /><br />But maybe I would mess up the scheme of things...<br /><br />Have you ever seen the third Harry Potter film '<i>The Prisoner of Azkaban</i>'?? Read the novel if you can, but even the film is very, very good, actor Daniel Radcliff's favourite. Hermione Granger has a little gadget called a 'time-turner' that allows one to travel in time. But she only uses it to go back in time a few hours. In the book and the film there is some discussion about the dangers of going back in time. <br /><br />Still...<br /><br />I would love to see my father again, all of my grandparents and various other people that are no longer among the living.<br /><br />I need to blow my nose!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Anna<br /><br />P.S.<br />Thanks for stopping by my W-post. I was on my way to your 'U'-post and was caught of guard by the word '<i>Wistful</i>'. There is a similar word in Swedish, '<i>Langtan</i>' (the 'a' has an omlaut), a word that can make any Swede shed buckets of tears!<br /><br /><br />P.P.S.<br />I agree with Mrs. Matlock that you should try writing a story about and see where it takes you. But a far a 'closure' is concerned. I personally don't want to put a lid on my memories. But if there are lessons to be learned. Problem is that many 'lessons' in life only apply to specific situations and are not always applicable when it comes to newer events.<br /><br />Wonderful post!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941239743087412663.post-60312053668253601532010-06-28T16:50:35.906-07:002010-06-28T16:50:35.906-07:00what a lovely post.

My mom and I aren't close so my wistful moments are usually wrapped up in 'what ifs' wondering what it would be like to have a wonderful relationship with her. Each year at Mother's Day I stand in front of the card isle and just stare because none of them fit. <br />I know that I WOULD spend as much time as possible with my grandmother b/c I didn't know her well and I really wish I did.Yarni Gras!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03028237893356674106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941239743087412663.post-50461205033421979872010-06-28T14:18:14.345-07:002010-06-28T14:18:14.345-07:00what a beautiful post ... made me all teary eyed a...what a beautiful post ... made me all teary eyed and now i have rushing memories of the special people i would love to see again ... my grandma's and grandpa's ... a special friend ... and so many others ... think i will grab a cup of tea and remember good people ...Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270665398498790951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941239743087412663.post-63475055853257789052010-06-28T11:42:00.554-07:002010-06-28T11:42:00.554-07:00Wonderful W post!

Regret is always hard to deal with.<br /><br />Melinda, you could write the story of how you think those conversations and observances would have gone. Sometimes that can help give you closure. And in the writing you might find you remember more than you thought!<br /><br />Thank you for linking.<br /><br />I always love my wonderful visits here!<br /><br />A+Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462124067637610359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941239743087412663.post-53330222059056836282010-06-26T21:08:45.336-07:002010-06-26T21:08:45.336-07:00I just sent you two Bloggy Awards.
