If you could have back for one hour someone who has left your life, who would it be and what would you do and say with him/her?
It doesn’t necessarily have to be someone who has passed away; it could be someone who is simply no longer a part of your life. With whom would you most want to spend one more hour? What would you and s/he do during that hour? What would you say? Search your heart.

I had a friend, right at the end of highschool.. that I guess technically somewhere in there he asked me to go out, but we were both attending college somewhere else.. he went to another state even. Was one of those, boy the timing sure sucked sort of deals. Over the course of our first year at University, calling each other, etc.. we realized that we were nothing more than good buddies. He eventually moved back to Michigan, we saw each other a few times.. and then he got engaged, and was going to get married… etc.. he was going to spend a summer at her family’s house in Ohio.. and that was the last I ever heard of/from him. I always wonder if he did end up getting married, are they happy, does he have kids.. Or did it never happen, and what is he doing now? Did he meet someone new? He was one of my closest friends after high school. I would love to have just that one hour, that I could catch up with him, see that he is doing ok, and see how life is treating him. I’d want to tell him that I missed having him as a friend, and that I wish we had kept better contact.
