Originally Posted By BlueDevilSF My mother died last year; my dad is still living. Wish for Mom: She had a very strained relationship with her father. He died at a relatively young age (early 60s). Were she still alive, I would wish for her to be able to come to terms with whatever transpired. Unfortunately I was never told what exactly happened; all I know is she carried a lot of pain that she kept to herself. Wish for Dad: My dad was a very, very difficult person when I was growing up. He worked in a job that created a tremendous amount of mental and physical stress, and he took it out on us kids. The story is more complex than that, so let's just say he and I were at each other's throats for a long time. He retired in '96 and mellowed out considerably. He's almost a completely different person now. However, it seems he finds it very hard to forgive himself for the way he treated us kids in growing up. I forgave him a long time ago; I firmly believe that he did the best he knew how as a parent. Yes, it was hurtful, and yes, it was difficult and has had lasting effects on me into adulthood. We have a much, much better relationship, and he has even dealt with the gay issue a lot better than I would have ever given him credit for. So, for him I wish him the ability to come to terms with the past and stop punishing himself for it.

Originally Posted By goodgirl Come December, my mother will have been gone 12 years and my father 22 years, so I am going to bestow my wishes on two of my sisters. For Geri, my oldest sister at age 72, I wish you many more healthy years of life. For Pat (age 65), I wish you success in your weight loss so that your other health problems subside.

Dad: My wish would be that he could find a place in his heart where he is the happiest. I really don't think he's very happy, he's just going thru the motions of life. I think because of the era he's from he thinks he has to be married and has settled for someone he definately loves, but is not in love with. I also wish that someone would put an Austin-Martin in his driveway

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Assuming we'd really all wish for health and such, I'm going to skip to things a little lighter just for the sake of conversation.

I'd wish him a part in the film or Broadway play of his choice. For my mom: I'd wish my mom could take an extended luxury cruise to Italy and Ireland, two places she really would like to see.

Originally Posted By DVC_dad I wish my children to all achieve happiness, and if not, at least contentment. I wish my mom would be more understanding with how we are trying to raise our kids.
Originally Posted By RAM1984 I wish my mother could either be free from her constant physical pain or join my father in eternity. (I do NOT wish my mother dead. She and I have discussed this; it is what she wants.) My wish for my father is that wherever he is; he is making music. Hopefully with Jack Teagarden, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller and the like.

For my husband: That he starts to play the lottery and wins so he can stop working, since he hates having to go to work every day! lol Seriously, I wish I made enought o enable him to be a househusband again - he totally dug it for the few years I let him get away with it in the past.
