Today’s Prompt: 5 Dinner Guests. Who are 5 people you’d love to have dinner with (living or deceased) and why?

If I could have dinner with five people, they would definitely be the following:

1. My Godmother
2. My Grandmother
3. My auntie Kei-chan
4. My auntie Tomo-chan
5. My mom

These are all the most awesome women, all who are now passed away, except for my mom (Thank God I still have her!). I believe this would bring my mom the most joy to share another meal, more importantly the conversation, joy of being with her family and best friend and oh my goodness… the pure laughter that would result from the things that would be said. I can’t even imagine how cool this would be!

I know with all my heart, during the time we would be together, any thought of pain for both my mom and I would be non-existent. For those few hours, it would be just like the old days when I was the child listening to all the conversation going on around me, taking it all in. Learning and laughing.

What an amazing dinner this would be… good food and the best company ever. Another perfect day in the making.
