If Heaven Had Visiting Hours

I would give anything to have just one more day with my grandparents who have passed away. There are a lot of unanswered questions and things I want to know about them, and if heaven had visiting hours, I would be there everyday.

If heaven had visiting hours, I would visit my Papou.

I would tell him how much he means to me, and how much I love him.

I would bring him all of his favorite foods, and the food he never got to try.

I would show him the article I wrote on him, and every article I have written thus far.

I would thank him for the times he comes into my dreams, and the times I can feel him around me when I need a helping hand.

I would ask him to say his signature catchphrases, like "Sacramento, California!" and "Ah fanapoli!".

I would drive him around, to repay him for the years he drove me around, and to show him that I turned out to be a good driver.

I would bring him my computer so we can watch old black-and-white Greek shows and so he can finally skype his sisters in Greece.

I would remind him how loved he is.

I would ask him to give me the strength to get through my toughest days.

I would give him a big hug and never let go.

If heaven had visiting hours, I would visit my Grandpa.

I would tell him I love him.

I would apologize for not visiting as often as I should have, but remind him that the time spent with him are some of my favorite memories.

I would ask him questions about his childhood, and get to know him better.

I would bring him Coca-Cola and cigarettes, his two favorite things.

I would ask him to go bowling.

I would ask him to show me where he grew up.

I would thank him for giving me the brown paper bag filled with 100 $1 bills for my birthday.

I would take a selfie with him.

I would ask him the questions no one had the courage to ask, like why he made the choices he did.

I would remind him that, despite the choices he made, he has a family who continues to love and miss him dearly.

If heaven had visiting hours, I would visit my Grandma.

I would apologize for not calling her as often as I should have.

I would make pizzelles with her, because she made them the best.

I would thank her for writing to all of those celebrities, because now I have a huge collection of autographs.

I would thank her for starting the genealogy research, because it has answered a lot of my questions.

I would bring her all the sweets she loved and more.

I would thank her for administering tough love, because thanks to her, she molded each member of our family into the individuals we are today.

I would perform my dance solo for her, because I know she would have loved to see it.

I would tell her how loved and missed she is.

I would take her on that lunch date I promised her.

I would tell her how much she means to me.

If heaven had visiting hours, I would visit God and ask him why he took my Papou, Grandpa, and Grandma way too soon.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
