My mom died when I was 9, so I missed a lot of info from her. Would have liked to hear what her life before marriage was like, she did not marry until age 38, was taking care of her parents until they died.
I would also have liked to ask my dad why he paid for me to live with a foster family after he divorced my step-mom. It was explained to me at the time, that it was better for me to live with a family. But he WAS my family. It wasn't until I met my DH as he was going through a divorce, that I realized he (DH) would never have sent his kids away to live with strangers. And my dad lived in the same town as me.
