I'm with the minority here, because my father died one month before I was born and I have only seen him in pictures. I would give just about anything to meet him, even for one day, and even if I had to say goodbye at the end. At least this time I would have the chance to say goodbye, and so would my mother, and so would everyone else in his family. When someone dies suddenly, in the prime of their lives (he was 32), and the body is never found... you can bet we would all pay a million to have that chance for closure.
To put another spin on it, his family received some life insurance money as a result of his death, and you can also bet that we all would have given back every cent to have him back for even one day. There would be no second thoughts in my mind. I think I would even be willing to pay a million dollars to meet him, if I had it.
