Welcome to the 14th edition of Saturday questions.
There was actually a pretty weird idea for this week going on, but since it falls on 09th May - which some of the longer-term readers of Invisible Movement might recognise as a very sad day, as that's what the very first 09th May in this site's history was; I thought about paying some honour to people, animals and plants that are no longer with us. This question is dedicated to my friend Milan, who hasn't been with us for 4 years already; as today, my tree-brother Miki and I will be remembering him.
Name up to three living beings (animals and plants are OK, too) the death of which you would undo. Preferably someone YOU know, someone who was REALLY a part of your life. If they were here now, what would you tell them? Would you change your ways towards them?

Mick C. a friend of mine who died of cancer just days before christmas having only been married 8 months earlier to his beautiful wife Kate. Today would have been Mick's birthday (he was such a kid about birthdays) and tonight at dusk all his friends and family around the UK will be sending up floating paper lanterns in the sky (Kate isn't ready yet for a large gathering of everyone). So if you see floating paper lanterns tonight (especially around London) you now know what it's about. Mick was so full of life and such a character, I wish I laughed more at his jokes and appreciated his child-like sense of fun and enthusiasm for anything silly (setting off stink bombs in the office was one of his favourite tricks). I think the world is a little less entertaining without him.
I'm lucky to be spared of having to cope with someone close dying, but there is one person I would have liked to meet- my grandfather, who died before i was born. He succumbed to skin cancer when my father was fairly young, and I wish i could have met him-even though I don't know what i would say- it feels sad that I never even got a cance to meet him
it's a very sad topic for me. i would bring back two of my uncles. one died in a car accident and the other died during his duty. he was a policeman. and i would bring back my grandmother. i miss her and my uncles very much but i know they are in a better place now.
I'd undo the death of my granpa and my granma's sister. Granpa has died of emphysema and granma (I used to call her by granma too) died of Parkinson's disease. I wish I'd spent more time with them principally at the end of their lives to let them know the much I cared and loved them so much.
A tribute to what is lost in the day and found in the dark: 'Lost and Found' - myspace.com/bluesforboogie - what is remarkable about dreams is that these people we have lost sometimes come back to visit. It is so great to hug the people that we only can in dreams. Peace.
I don't really know who i would want to bring back but i wouldn't mind talking to my grandad who died before i was born just to know what sort of person he was like. Also i would like to know how my cousins family would have turned out if my cousin didn't die when she was little.
My biological grandfather that passed away from a heart attack and pneumonia in February. I didn't get to know him. He divorced my grandmother and remarried, and my mom didn't feel like she was welcomed. That was the main reason why we didn't visit as much. She always felt like an outsider and thought we felt the same way. I'd visit and get to know him better. The more I've listened, the more I see myself acting like him.
My great-grandparents. My great-grandmother passed away when I was five. I'd pay more attention and ask my great-grandfather to tell me more stories about living back in the 30's and 40's and the wars and all that history.
I know this is a fourth person, but I'd bring back my grandmother because I miss her so much. Even though she's been gone for almost a year, it still hurts. She passed away from cancer. I would visit more often and stay a week like I did when I was in school. I would call her more often just to say "Hello."
One big note: I wouldn't bring any of them back if they were coming back with the whole cancer, pneumonia, and whatever have you. I couldn't go back and watch them suffer all over again.
