Often times I've always asked myself what I would do if I had the chance to bring someone back to life, and when I saw that was today's contest topic, I found myself thinking about it all over again.

Although, instead of focusing on that and just answering the question right away, I will be taking a different approach to it. You see, like I said, I've often asked myself what I would do if I had that power, but funny enough, I've always hesitated to answer it.

It's not because I don't have anyone I would love to bring back to life, trust me it's not that. If I was in a deep sleep and was asked that question the moment I woke up, the first name I would call would be that of my mom. I won't even have to think about it because my body would just react naturally and the words would just willingly leave my mouth.

But then, putting how I feel second and my brain first, when I really think about it, am I sure I want to go through all that over again? Because bringing them back isn't the problem, watching them die again and having to go through that pain of losing someone I love is something I'm not sure my heart can handle.

Because they will eventually have to die one day and unless you die before them, you will have to go through the mourning process of losing someone you love, twice.

Although I must admit that bringing them back to life would feel different because you'd spend everyday of your life with them (if it's possible) and tell them you love them more than you did the first time they were alive. But at the end of the day, that still wouldn't ease the pain you would feel when they eventually die the second time.

But then again, even with all that said and done, if we're being honest and I was given that opportunity, I still would choose to bring my mom back because I would prefer her living till she gets very old, hopefully enjoying the fruits of her labour from her kids and probably even being in her grandkids life before kicking the bucket again.
