Do you and Mom has plans on getting back together so we could be happy family again?
I might seem childish asking him this but I haven't seen my Dad for like 14 years already because he has to work somewhere on the other side of the globe. I just wish we could be one happy family again. The child in me didn't get to enjoy it that much. :(

I am a very firm believer in learning from mistakes, but not only that, I also believe it is a parent's duty to their kid to teach them how to avoid the mistakes that they have encountered.
My question would definatley be:
"Dad, what is the one thing in the world that you do not want me to do."
I know his answer would probably be smoke seeing as his father passed when my dad was 15, standing beside the hospital bed watching his father with lung cancer pass away. His last words to my dad was "Son, whatever you do, please do not smoke." He was 52 when he died.
He also tells me every single day that when he passes away, he wants me to swear to him that I will never let the gouvernment inject any sort of unknown vaccination into me. I'm really not sure why he says this, but he is the smartest man I know, I trust him.

My father is was a Major General of Bangladesh army. But his best achievement is he is a hero of our national independent war. He is one of the national real hero of our nation. So I am so proud of him.
I saw what is real love to motherland from him. When he talks about our independent war often he can not stop his tear, we also. But when I ask him why he is sad however Bangladesh is an independent country now. Then he says do you know why we battled for bloody 9 months? Because we dreamed that one day we will independent and we will shine in the worlds. But where is our dreams now? Today Bangladesh is the most corrupted country in the world. Bangladesh is poor country ever. Why? can you answer my son?
Then I can't answer...can't speak anywords. Just see at his eye and saw how deep his love to motherland.
So my question would be that "You fought for independent, and I am starting to fight for independent of our ICT sector. So am I in right place?"
You can view my profile page where I said about my ICT dreams. I wanna be a worrier of digital-bangladesh. I have wrote some articles already about why Bangladesh don't support paypal or don't making payment gateway in our local daily newspaper.
Sorry, I don't know either I could reflect my mind in this answer or not.
Thanks

It's hard to imagine any scenario in which you could ask your father one and only one question. Presumably, the only way that could happen, and you'd know that you would only get one question, is if it was certain that he was going to die in the next few minutes.
But in that scenario, asking him any questions wouldn't be on my mind. Except maybe questions like: "Can I get you anything Dad?", "Can I make you more comfortable?", or "Is there anything you want me to tell Mum?"
However, to play the game that you set up...
I don't have any burning questions for him, as all the really important things have either been asked or never needed to be asked. However I am curious about all the things about his life that we've never got around to talking about. So I'd ask him some open-ended question about his life like:
"What stories do you remember about your childhood, about grandpa and grandma?"

I would ask my father how could he love me so much when I did not met his expectations and failed him?
He worked so hard for me to finish college. I did finish my degree and went abroad to work. I miss my boyfriend and was so homesick that I gave up my job and went back home to my native country. I know that he was expecting much for me because working abroad is a big opportunity and I can earn more than I can in our place. But he did not say a thing and just welcomed me with open arms. He said he don't want me to be sad, he just want me to be happy.

What do I do next Pops? I'm 50 years old and I'm out of work. I'm not trained or qualified for anything except what I've been doing, and that kind of work isn't coming back. When I lost my job, I tried to get another one. I even went to the temp agencies, but they aren't hiring. Things are tough in Michigan right now. I've got a few dreams about being a writer or learning about web site management, but half the time they seem like a bunch of foolishness, even to me. We're living on my wife's salary, so I can't relocate. I do whatever I can to help make her life easier and I try not to complain. I shop, cook, clean, do the wash, the banking, and so on. I don't feel like much of a man most of the time, and I just don't know what to do next, so please Pops, can you tell me? I'm hurting down here and I'm all out of answers.

My parents got divorced when I was 6, and I haven't seen him since. I am now 38 years old. My biggest question to him would be why didn't you love me? He lives in the same town as I do. And then I would ask the question was being an alcholic his whole entire life worth it in the end?
