Who is Your Person?

I think the current events and general state of things has had me thinking about my Grandfather a lot lately. Even in 'normal' times and before the nonsense, there hasn't been a day that's gone by that I haven't thought of him.

But with all of this - *gestures at everything *- I really find myself thinking about how he'd react and respond to things. I can be deep in a project or task for work and I'll find myself zoning out, considering what a conversation with him on recent events would look like.

He's the person I'd choose to bring back if I could. Even if it was just for a set period of time. I lost him wg I was 16 and often wonder what it would have been like to converse with him as an adult. That curiosity has only grown stronger in these last seven months or so. 

I just so wish that I could pick his brain and spend the time with him, conversing, perhaps even debating, and seeing things from his perspective. His worldy experience and knowledge would undoubtedly make me see things with fresh eyes. 

If you could choose anyone who you could bring back, who would it be, and why?
