If you were in a room with everyone you’ve ever met (including strangers, and people you no longer talk too), who would you look for?

I would look for my old classmate Sarah, she was lovely. She loved chewing gum, and would always give me a piece.. we felt so naughty eating it in class but one day she came to school and told me that her family was moving and never said anything about it again and that was the last time I saw her, she never came back to school, nor did her sisters who were a few years old... I asked my dad to drive past her house once, and it was all cleared out (you could see it was empty because the curtains were gone too).

I just think about her every now and again, just wonder where she went and why.. we were only 6 or 7 and I really miss her still.

DrJonesIpresume · 10/05/2024 20:45

My dad. We have 48 years to catch up on.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 10/05/2024 20:50

My father. 57 years of catching up.

And I'd be dodging several exes, as well.

My dad. Best human I've ever known and I miss him. I didn't realise how amazing he was until he was gone.

My mum passed away at Christmas. I will always be looking for her.

Emotionalsupporthamster · 10/05/2024 20:52

My best friend. She lives down under now and we haven’t seen each other in the flesh in 5 years. I would love just to give her a big hug and have a natter over a glass of wine.

Hoolihan · 10/05/2024 20:52

My mum. I'd love to meet her as an adult.

alrightluv · 10/05/2024 20:53

Hard one as it'd be Mam, dad ,eldest sister and brother. All passed. I know they're around though. Be nice to hug them all again though.

My Uncle Graham (not a real uncle but a friend of my Dads) I know he would actually genuinely care to know how I had turned out and about my kids etc unlike the majority of my still alive family.

My brother

WhatsMyEmail · 10/05/2024 20:55

A girl called Moira who lived near my parents (I must only have been 3 or 4 as my parents divorced around then). I slept over and she had one of those light up caterpillar cuddly toy nightlights. I was so young I don't really remember much about her so I'd love to catch up with her and try to piece it all together.

My mum. It’s been nearly a year since she died.

hby9628 · 10/05/2024 20:56

A girl I used to go to primary school with until she moved overseas. We are Facebook friends but I'd love to catch up with her irl.

ValueAddedTaxonomy · 10/05/2024 20:57

Mine too. I'd love to see her and Gramps again.

Also, I'd love to ask a few people a few questions about things that confuse me looking back.

MrsSkylerWhite · 10/05/2024 20:59

My youngest child, whose life isn’t yet sorted out.
Thereafter, my husband. Thereafter my oldest child whose life is in a very good place.

Chilliandbanana · 10/05/2024 21:00

My mum I have 18 years of catching up to do with her 💕

Geewizzcheese · 10/05/2024 21:01

My gran, it’s been over 10 years since she passed and I still miss her so much, she raised me. I want a hug and to tell her everything that’s been happening and that I just missed her so much.

My best friend in the whole wide world, he was the brother I've never had, he meant the world to me, he was with me through thick and thin, supported me when ex bfs were trying to kill me, supported me through my days of absolute rock bottom suicidal depression, he made me laugh, he made me feel safe. He was never anything more than a friend, not even a peck on the cheek. I think he's the only person in my life that ever truly cared for me, sadly he died the day before my birthday a few years ago and I miss him so so much 💔

Doihavetogotoworkdotcom1 · 10/05/2024 21:04
