If you could spend one hour with any person, who would it be and why:

There are a lot of people that have passed away that I would like to talk to, but they are probably enjoying their rest. I would rather be able to spend one hour with my nephew, who I have only seen once. He was born January, 1, 2010 and I just see how fast he is growing in all the pictures. Instead of seeing pictures, I wish I could hold him for one hour.
