I’d say my grandpa but he’d try to hang up after 2 minutes because he doesn’t want to pay long distance rates, so I guess my great great great great great great grandkids to see if Trump is still president.
my grandma from 20 years ago before her mind started slipping and before she died. i would tell her how much i love her and how much i truly appreciated my childhood for all she did for me so i can make sure she really knew i enjoyed every second.
My nana. I’d do just about anything to hear her laugh about the silly stuff my kid is doing, some cutting remark about what a shithead my mom is and have her end the call with ‘well alright kiddo, I gotta go – love you ok’ just like everytime before.
My local Chinese food restaurant. I can’t keep them on the phone long enough to finish ordering. The extra time on the call would relieve the stress of trying to order an egg role in the same breath as the meal.
I’d say my mom. She passed in 2018. That being said, part of me knows it would always be my dad that I would want to talk to the most. Luckily, he’s still around. I know future me is going to miss him terribly. He’s my rock and best friend and the person I love the most on this planet.
My daughter. I would want to call her when she’s old on her death bed to tell her not to be afraid and everything will be okay, so she gets to be with her mom one last time.
I’d choose my mom. I’d use those 10 minutes to tell her it’s okay to let go, that we understand she’s in pain, and that we’ll be alright. I just want her to have peace
David Lynch. I need insight into season three of Twin Peaks. The ending felt like a drug induced fever dream. Probably won’t get it, but I’d still love to hear him share any of his thoughts on anything.
My grandma. She passed while I was pregnant with my daughter. The only child I could have due to ovarian cancer. Her death/stress from it sent me into premature labor, and my daughter was born at 34 1/2 weeks.
I would have given anything for her to have met her. 14 years later, and it still brings me to tears instantly thinking about it.
I would love to talk to my husband again. Just so he knows I’m okay. I can live without his opinion of my upcoming move though as he would not be a fan lol!
My Nona. There is so much I wish I said to her, or learned from her. I miss her so much
Her cooking was magical and there is a soup in particular that I would love to know how she made. But whenever she was making it, I’d sit at the kitchen counter and talk to her, not paying attention to what she was doing. I was too into chatting with her.
I regret not just walking over and making it with her.
My dad’s father. He passed when I was very young. I have a few memories of him however I did not know him. It would be nice to speak with him if only briefly.
My mom. She passed 3 months ago. I have intense dreams of her and I would love to know what she wants to tell me. I would also like to tell her that she was my North Star. I miss you, mama.
Definitely my dad and i would record his voice. I have voicemails from him but I’d love to have a video of us chatting back and forth. He died suddenly and as the old saying goes – I thought I had more time 💙
My papaw. He’s been dead since I was 8, and I know he’d be so proud of what myself and my cousins have grown up to be. I’d give anything for him to have a conversation with my kiddo. He’d be smitten.
Definitely my dad, just to bring him up to speed on how my siblings and I are doing in life, tell him about his grandkids that he never met, crack some jokes.
I was going to answer, but I started reading the comments instead. I think I would donate my call to everyone here missing their dad or another relative. I envy you your loving families. ❤️
Dad for sure. He’s been gone since mid 90s when I was in my 20s. He was amazing and my hero from my earliest memories. Kind, quirky, fun and funny with a huge laugh and smile. I can honestly say I miss him every single day.
My best friend. He was killed in a car accident at 24. I’m glad he got to meet my wife who was my girlfriend at the time. I talk to him sometimes and wonder if he’d be proud of me.
My mother. She died in 1978 at the ripe old age of 33 from cancer. I was 10. Watching her die in pain traumatized me on a level that I’m still not really over it.
She was taken from us when I was late 20’s living abroad. Cancer. She was sick and I showed her the engagement ring I bought for my now wife. I now have a house, 2 beautiful boys and I became a manager. I feel like she labored so much of her life for her kids and then just passed before she could see the fruits of her labor as a really good Mom.
I feel like I would like to pick my dad. I would have loved for him to know his grandkids and to know what I have become. I also don’t pick my dad because 10 minutes wouldn’t be enough it would be so hard to say goodbye again. I think maybe I’ll just give someone else my 10 minutes. Who wants them. Just don’t even tell me I had 10 minutes take them and never tell me.

My Nona. There is so much I wish I said to her, or learned from her. I miss her so much
Her cooking was magical and there is a soup in particular that I would love to know how she made. But whenever she was making it, I’d sit at the kitchen counter and talk to her, not paying attention to what she was doing. I was too into chatting with her.
I regret not just walking over and making it with her.

My grandmom before she had her stroke. I never got the chance to speak to her. Just smiles and hugs.

I’d pass, because if I got 10 mins to talk to her again, I’d be gone by morning because I can’t grieve her again
My sister. She died in december, i was asshole to her and i just want to apologise and know that shes ok
Definitely my dad and i would record his voice. I have voicemails from him but I’d love to have a video of us chatting back and forth. He died suddenly and as the old saying goes – I thought I had more time 💙
My dad (he died in 2017 and I didn’t get the chance to say all the things I wanted to say)
I’m picking my mom because only in the last couple of years did I understand it was not her fault.
Myself. In the past. Gonna drop some knowledge on younger me.
My papaw. He’s been dead since I was 8, and I know he’d be so proud of what myself and my cousins have grown up to be. I’d give anything for him to have a conversation with my kiddo. He’d be smitten.

My best friend. He was killed in a car accident at 24. I’m glad he got to meet my wife who was my girlfriend at the time. I talk to him sometimes and wonder if he’d be proud of me.
Safe answer would be my brother, who was killed in a car accident at 10 years old.
Risky answer is my biological father, who I know nothing about. It’s wild how many different directions that call could go.
My mother. She died in 1978 at the ripe old age of 33 from cancer. I was 10. Watching her die in pain traumatized me on a level that I’m still not really over it.
Myself, I would give myself info on Lottery numbers; and invest in bitcoin.
My dad.
When he passed in February, it was so bitter and so hurtful to have something so tragic happen and I couldn’t call or run to him to get through it.
My dad. Fuck, I’d take a 2 second phone call just to say a proper good bye.
Mom.
She was taken from us when I was late 20’s living abroad. Cancer. She was sick and I showed her the engagement ring I bought for my now wife. I now have a house, 2 beautiful boys and I became a manager. I feel like she labored so much of her life for her kids and then just passed before she could see the fruits of her labor as a really good Mom.
Well.. my wife of 16 years died on mother’s day so I’ll start there.
My mom who died when I was 5
I feel like I would like to pick my dad. I would have loved for him to know his grandkids and to know what I have become. I also don’t pick my dad because 10 minutes wouldn’t be enough it would be so hard to say goodbye again. I think maybe I’ll just give someone else my 10 minutes. Who wants them. Just don’t even tell me I had 10 minutes take them and never tell me.
My dad lost him 3 weeks before the world went in to lock down.
My childhood friend. He was murdered just before we finished undergrad. He was funny, creative, loyal, and so smart. I’m giving my son his name.
