Ask the Williamsburgers

More often than not, we are blessed with the people we have and know in our lives. We often don’t realize how much of an impact they’ve had on our lives until they are gone and we can’t tell them.

This sad but truthful notion inspired my very popular question this week: If you had a chance to have an hour-long conversation with someone, dead or alive, celebrity or not – who would it be and why?

Here is what a few had to say:

Zena Saylor: My son Joey – because we miss and love him so much.

Polly Eastep: My first husband Ron to tell him I’m okay.

Nancy Decker: My son Steve and my husband Greg to tell them I love them and miss them.

Penny Manning: My mom, dad, and my cousins Patty and Harry. I would especially love to talk to my husband Sam – I miss him so much.

James Gibboney: My dad – to thank him for everything.

Sharon Pfaler: Vince Gill – I would say how much I love his music and him.

Bethany Stokes: My mom

Della Helsley: My mom and Paul Lane – to thank them both for helping me become who I am today.

Lisa Leamer: My Dad.

Robin Brantner: Any and all of my grandparents

Bonnie Edwards: My dear friend, Teresa Limbert – we need one of our great talks.

Sarah Dean: My Mom – I’d tell her everything she’s missed in the last 8 years and that I love her.

Dotty Reigh: George – I miss our time together and I still love him.

Cori Shirk: My great grandfather – he was supposedly a wonderful man and I would have loved to have known him.

I was blessed with such a wonderful Pappy Pete, and he passed away when I was only 9 years old; I would absolutely love an hour-long talk with him to just get to know him a little better as I am older now, and to let him know how proud I am to be his granddaughter and how much he’s missed.
