I would want to talk with my maternal grandmother, the most decent and honorable person I've ever known. I would ask about her background, her raising, my mom.
Of the famous people, I would choose Mark Twain. He could see the joy, the tragedy, and the folly of life.

I'd tell my dad that I loved him one more time, and how I appreciated all the sacrifices he made for me when he was alive.

My Grandfather ( my Mum's Father). I used to visit love visiting regularly and loved that old guy then 14 yrs old discovered Music,Cigarettes and Girls so rarely saw him. Joined the Armed Forces and eventually visited when I was about 22yrs. He said to me- metaphorically- ' Where have you been all these years?' Went abroad and next I received news he had died. Would love to see him again and tell him I love him!

The two people that started as lovers and became lifelong friends.Not so much a discussion of regret, just to continue our lifelong conversation.THey both knew me from when we were young and becoming and that can not be duplicated

Marilyn Monroe.

This is a hard choice, because I would want to talk to my mom, and tell her how much I love her and miss her, and then I would try to tell her everything that has happened since she died 10 years ago. However, I would also want to talk to my dad and tell him how much I love and miss him, and then ask him why he left the Catholic church, and many other questions about his family that I never found out because he died when I was 20 years old.

My maternal grandmother. It wouldn't matter what we talked about. I'd just be happy to hear her voice again.

People in my family

William Shakespeare. I'd love to learn about his writing process. I'd also tell him that he's still the most famous playwright in western civilization.

The one that got away. What happened? I'd want to know if I could have stopped it.
