A Real Day of the Dead

What if? It's the basis of many stories. We ask. We ponder. We wonder. 

On Tuesdays I throw one out there. What if? It may be speculative. It may stem from something I see. It may be something I pull from the news. 

Make of it what you will. If a for instance is not specified, interpret that instance as you wish. And if the idea turns into a story, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements 😉

What if the veil between the living and dead really did thin at this time of year, and we could talk to friends/family that have passed on and they could talk to us?

  1. I supposed I'd be used to it, and look forward to the annual "meetings." However, since it isn't like that, I wouldn't like it. I wouldn't want to hear from my dead loved ones. Again, if it was how I was raised, and always did, great. I wouldn't wish it to be true though. I know it is true to some, so I mean no disrespect to their beliefs when I say that!

  2. I would love it! I could ask my dad all sorts of questions and hug him and I could hug my mom.

  3. There are those on the other side I would love to talk to again. My mother, who passed on when I was 12, to get to know her as an adult, for one. But I would want to be able to choose who I do get to meet with.

  4. That's a beautiful what if. I'd love to talk to my late husband even if it could only be at this time of the year.

  5. Yes, I'd love that veil to be lifted. I would love to talk to my parents.

  6. I think it would be awsome. I would like to ask those who on the other side. What they thought of computers.
    Coffee is on.

  7. I would seek guidance from my late dad regarding the problems I'm currently facing.

    Hugs and blessings, Liz

I appreciate your comments.

I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
