If I could bring back one person from the dead, who would he or she be and what would I serve for dinner?

So today’s prompt is “If I could bring back one person from the dead, who would he or she me and what would I serve for dinner?” I had to think for a while about who I would like to bring back from the dead since there’s not much people I know who is that that I want back. I was debating whether to have Queen Elizabeth since I idolize her or my grandfather from my mom’s side. I decided that I would rather bring back my grandfather from the dead. He passed away just a couple months ago, I think it was some type of heart attack in his sleep so it’s a good thing that he died while he slept, it must have been peaceful. I’m Filipino so we called him “Tatay” which is dad in Tagalog. I feel bad that I don’t know much about him. The first time and now my last time I got to see him I was just eight years old, I’m sixteen now so that was nine years ago. I think he was fifty some years old but November. I want him to be brought back to life because even though I wasn’t close to him my mom would tell me stories about him telling me how great of a man he was and that even though they are poor he tries his best to save money and buy gifts for my grandma. I think that’s pretty sweet J he passed away leaving everyone in the family in grieve, mostly my grandma. It’s good that she’s handling things without him, she’s a strong person, but it would be nice to have him back in their lives.
Hmmm… if he actually comes back from the dead, I would serve him anything he wants. But what would people who came back to life would want to eat?? Since he’s Filipino I would probably guess he would want something like fish or some meat? Er I’m don’t even know what kind of food he likes, wow I’m such a bad granddaughter… uhm if he comes back from the dead and since I don’t know what he would actually want to eat I’ll have to ask him and he can go eat at Jhem’s or The Elegance, both a well known Filipino restaurant in Saipan lol and probably get some dessert, since dinner is never complete without dessert! But if he wants to try something new I all for it. I go take him to some other restaurants maybe get some pizza, or pasta, some Cha, haha, fresh lumpia from Wild Bills, anything he’s up to try. While we have some dinner we could catch up on some things that I don’t know about, maybe he can tell me some stories that he did at my age. But it would be hard to communicate with him since he speaks very little English and a lot of tagalong and I can understand and speak very little tagalog. My understanding is much better than my speaking though. I grew up in Saipan and only been to the Philipines twice, both when I was young, English was my first language so I don’t know very much as I think I should.
Okay so back to the prompt, I would really like to bring my grandfather back from the dead so could catch up with him and see my grandmother smile knowing he’ll be back in their lives. J
