As cheesy as it sounds, I would probably go back about 5 years so I could spend more time with my grandpa before he died. He lived in Halifax, so I'd usually only see him once or twice a year, and as I got older it seemed like the visits became less frequent. I'd go back and spend as much time with him as I could.
He was probably the smartest and most kind person I've ever known, and I bet if I got to spend more time with him it would make me a better person too. Plus, he was an amazing artist so I would love to be able to go back and paint with him.
Also, if I could go back in time I would go to his funeral. I was unable to make it to his funeral when he passed because Jewish funerals usually take place before sundown the next day and I couldn't get there in time. I never really had that element of closure when he passed away, so sometimes it doesn't even seem real.
