I JUST NEED 10 MINUTES WITH AN OLD FRIEND
This week's prompt for Hive learners asks us to share what we would do if we were given a 10 mins timeframe to go to the past to change something. I was left dumb for about 10 minutes thinking about what would I love to change in my past? What great mistake must I have made that I would love to change?

After all the thoughts put together, I could not figure out a single thing that I needed to change. Although I thought of different things but yet, they don't have any direct effect on my future. If I was to go back in time, I would only go to visit a friend who had died to see her and talk to her one more time.
Yeah, this friend of mine died about 3 years ago and we were planning on meeting up after not seeing each other for over 5years shortly before she passed away. She was a childhood friend and my High school sweetheart. We had this very close relationship while in school, I was in love with her obviously, she knew but we just kept being best friends until she left the school in ss2 and I was in ss1.
But obviously, getting to see her in the past for 10 minutes cannot bring her back but I was hoping I could have gotten to say hello, gotten to see her and how much she had grown until suddenly, not more than a week later after we chatted and made plans on seeing each other the news hit! She died from an appendix operation.
I was angry, sad, and cried. It had been a long time since I had cried for anything but the feeling of losing a dear friend was very hurtful. I thought about it for days and I think about it sometimes. Nothing is guaranteed in this World but Death, We just don't know when but just hope for the better.

Imagine losing a dear one to Death, is a horrible experience anyone can have. Only if we have the power to bring back someone to life, it would have been a good thing.
May her soul continue to rest in peace!
The ability to bring someone to life is one that i would pray for but it is against nature. Not everybody should come back.
Wow. @starstrings01 I can totally understand this. It is painful when you loose someone who is dear to you. And worse when you didn't even have the time to express how much you loved her. May her soul rest in peace
All is fine now.. thanks for your nice comment
Crazy...
She must have been operated by a quack. Such an operation is so simple that you could be on your way home the next day.
Sad.
Sad it is...
This is really sad but You didn't say what you will tell her if you get the ten minutes.
smiles, because I don't know what I would actually do. I would just prefer getting the 10 minutes to rewind the time in the past to meet her and not knowing she would die only for us to gist and talk hoping for a better tomorrow.
Because it would be weird having 10 minutes to meet her when she is alive knowing she is going to die. I would not have the courage to face her keeping the fact that I know she would die soon.
Awwn, that would have being so sweet.
That seems rather like a hard decision.perhaps that ten minutes could be before the surgery. Have her do it in another hospital instead of the one she initially planned. Perhaps she won't have died afterall
Exactly... that would have been a better plan..
You are welcome😀😀

It's so sad things turned out like that. But as we all know, everything happens for a reason.
Yeah true. Everything has a reason behind every occurrence
Yes dear.

I'm sorry for your loss, I know how it feels to think that you would never see her again
It something that happened years ago. It's okay brother
Losing a friend who was very dear to you is very painful. When you were planning to meet her, the death snatched the opportunity. Such sudden deaths often leave strong memories and regrets with us. May God rest her soul in peace.
Death is the reality of life that can never be changed. Everyone who came to this world, has to leave one day.
Yeah, anyone who came to this world has to leave. Life is just a market place and the real destination is the Afterlife.
Yeah
Losing a loved one is heartbreaking and getting the opportunity to see such person ones more will be breathe taking but don’t you think it might just open wounds that were trying to close??
Smiles... I only would like to see her before she died without having the knowledge that she would die.
Nothing beats as much as losing someone and never getting them back. It is more than difficult.
Yes bro.. it is something we cannot avoid. That's life generally.
Hmmm. Very sad indeed I always wished I could see my mum too even if it were just once, we never said goodbye and I know just how you feel about your friend...
I can smell senior and junior course mate love 😂... You were in different class, I wish to know how you meet though.
Lol... junior and senior course mate love 😹... no be by class also... I was older some guys in the senior class although she was older than me with months.
We were close, and always usually the talk of the school. But we were not dating, just good friends.
May her soul Rest In Peace.
I completely understand.
It’s sad. Love is something that should not be kept inside.
It eats us up. That’s what I learnt from sane pain 🥹
