“Anything You Want Today”

Daily writing prompt
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

My most ideal day from beginning to end?

If I could bring someone back for just 24 hours, that would be it.

My grandmother Consuelo passed away when I was 9 or 10. We didn’t have a lot of time together because she lived in Mexico, but whenever she came to Los Angeles and I got even a little bit of time with her, I felt a kind of love that still stays in my body.

To this day I miss her. If I talk about her too long, I start crying.

So my ideal day would be simple: I’d spend the whole day with her again.

No errands. No rushing. No noise.

Just her presence.

And I’d tell her: we can do anything you want today—absolutely anything—as long as I get to be near you again.

That would be my ideal day.

Question: If you could spend one full day with someone you miss, what would you do?
