If you had the chance to spend the whole day with someone, anybody doesnt matter who it is, who would it be and why ?



I honestly would pick my grandpa as he was a big part of my life as a kid and knowing that i couldnt make it to his funeral to say goodbye im sure he would be a proud grandpa.


- Dont be shy or scare to name that person that made an impact in your life!

My aunt that passed away from cancer.

My aunt had a heart of gold and would literally do anything for anyone.
My aunt meant the world to me. She made me feel special and confident in myself when I thought I wasn't good enough.

But I know she is always in my heart with the memories and probably would be proud of what I have become.

I would choose my Grandpa, he was always there for me, I seen him in the hospital when he was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. He fought the fight for 2 weeks and passed away, he taught me how to be a good person. And how to work on cars since my garage is filled with every tool you can imagine, i have people who ask me how much for some of his tools. I tell them your checkbook couldn't buy one of them.

I would choose my grandfather as well. My grandfather was the only person that would have my full respect and the only person from my blood family that I actually considered as someone I could call my family. He died when I was 13 which was a little too early for me to really get to talk about and do what I wanted with him. He was in the 38th Rifle Division for the Red Army before getting moved to the 302nd Rifle Division nearing 1942. I wasn't too interested into WW2 history until I was about 15 so I wasn't able to talk to him much about it before he died and there's that history/stories just basically gone. I only know what I know from the few things he said plus my grandmother but never got to talk to him about it in more detail. Thankfully I was able to get his M91/30 shipped out to me (38k and a goddamn bullshit game of cat and mouse just to get it approved to be sent over here) so I at least have that. But yeah, he was the one that taught me how to hunt, how to fight, how to take apart guns and put them back together and what got me interested in wood and metal works at a young age. My grandfather was a cold bastard, especially to people when looking from outside his inner circle, I will say that, but I respect that in a person and given the shit he had to go through WW2 -- especially the Battle of Stalingrad, only more of a reason for me to respect it.

Didn't get to really say goodbye as after the war, he fell into some deep shit, still a young guy after the war, was doing work for the KGB as he was more of a hardcore nationalist than even I am, so he believed in the whole Cold War stuff and he ended up getting ties with some Russian mob guys down the road even though he would have denied that to his grave -- which he ended up doing as some punk wanted to be a "hero" and put 2 bullets in his head. So there was never a goodbye at all, basically a closed casket as your goodbye.

I know 100% if I were to have a sit down with him now if he were to magically come alive, oh shit, it would be shit talking back and forth like before. He wasn't a man that really showed "normal" emotions, it was always something to argue about and/or "you should be doing this better" type of deal, which I personally don't mind, I'm like that myself so I know it would be an arguing/joking/shit talking match with the guy. Probably would try and beat my ass though for falling into drugs at one time because he hated drugs dude, used to hear him always talking to people that if he found out they were selling or doing drugs, he would kill them, so I know the guy would get into my face about it.

Regardless, that was the person I looked up to as my father, because my actual father was just a straight limp wrist, a coward, pathetic and fragile, which my brother took that personality from him and it just disgusts me that he even shares the same surname as me and my grandfather. I truly believe if my father wasn't killed and my grandfather never stepped in and just left me to be raised early on, I would have turned out like my brother, who lives in such a fragile bubble, that the minor inconvenience makes his world come crashing down. My grandfather taught me how to grow up at an early age and how to be a man, which during puberty, plus around his death, those emotions were just something that kept getting me into shit after shit, but that's still something I would like to thank him for given how my brother turned out.

For the most part, I would just like to talk to him about his life in the war as I have some stupid obsession with history where I feel it should always be documented no matter what side and since this is someone close to me and I never got to really ask for it, to my knowledge the rest of it died with him. Other than that, I guess catch up and have him scold me for the bullshit I've caught myself up into life and then just talk about whatever bullshit is going on in the world I guess.

I'd choose my father.. not because he's dead, even though he might as well be.

I'd ask why he walked out on me and my mum when I was just 1 years old. What was so bad he couldn't keep in contact? I'd let him know I never needed him in the 24 years I've been alive. My momma did the best job being bother mother and father.

I'll tell him how I went to college and got all A*, and then went to university and got a 1st class honours degree. I've done so much sht that he's missed out on.. and he will never be apart of any of it.

I'd just want answers to know why he walked out tho.
