Would you bring back someone who died?

I was thinking about this.... If you have had someone who just died, and you now have the chance to give them 1 hour of life back, but you have to give up 1 year of your life. Would you want to bring back that person? I just had an uncle who past away and he willed over his old farm house to me. Now I live in this huge house and I really would like to ask my uncle some questions about different things. So I thought it would be amazing if I could bring him back to life for an hour just so I could have a good conversation with him. I wouldn't care about 1 year off of my life because having this conversation with my uncle would mean the whole world to me. What would you do if this could happen?

I had a grandfather who passed away three years ago. I grew up with him. He was the father I never had. I learned a lot from him. He stood by me every time, mostly when things are getting a bit off. I was with him on those times that he was sick and bed ridden. Although, I prepared myself that one day he will be gone, it is still hard when the time came and he passed away. Until now, I still think of him. I miss him a lot. I think I never really got over it. I would gladly give even 5 years of my life for an hour with him. I would tell him how he shaped me up to be the man I am today. I would tell him that I am living the life that he wished for me but never got a chance to see it.

This man seemed like a wonderful person. I'm glad you had a chance to spend your time with him before he pasted on. I wish I had spent more time with my uncle because he could have taught me things that I wish I knew now in my life. That's why I would like to have time with him again so I could really sit down with him and have a conversation with him that I should have done many years ago. I'm sure your grandfather is looking down on you and is very proud of what you are doing with your life. Just keep in mind what you did learn from him and keep carrying it on in you. Thank you.

Im sorry about the loss of your uncle Benz. Well I know that I wouldnt mind giving up years off to have my mother back. Id do the same if I were to lose my husband. You never get over losing someone close to you and you miss the all the time.

I lost my mother in September, she had been suffering for quite a while. I have thought about this too. There are things that I would like to ask her but I don't think I would want to have her back for just an hour. Knowing that one hour is all I would have would be very difficult and it would be like loosing her all over again.
