When I held my children in my arms for the first time. Nothing in this world compares to it.

This is the first time my parents let me go somewhere without them. I was four years old (I'm 25 now).
There was an old couple that lived next door - one weekend, they were on their way to go pick grapes at a farm. My family was in our front yard, and they pulled up and asked if I wanted to ride along. I was so excited. I still had on my PJ's, so I RAN inside, changed my clothes, then RAN back outside and jumped into the back seat of their harvest gold diesel Mercedes station wagon. I still remember the way the pleather interior smelled. We drove 40 miles into the country and picked grapes off the vine. I'd never seen a grape vine before. I'd never even seen red grapes before (my mom only ever bought green ones). It was hot, and they only brought one jug of water. The old man drank some, then offered me some out of the same jug. For whatever reason, the cooties didn't bother me. I took a big slug.
The field next to the vineyard had watermelons. The old couple cooked up a covert operation where we would steal two watermelons - one for me and one for them. Since then I've learned that they asked permission.
This was the first time I'd ever been somewhere without my parents. Mom and Dad always treated me like a child (and still do). These people treated me like and adult - a partner in crime. I felt so free.
On the way home, we shared grapes in the car. (Eating in the car was something my parents never allowed.) My neighbors were the coolest people in the world. All the grapes were in a crate in the back of the car - I was sitting in the back seat and would reach back and pick out whatever they requested or whatever I wanted (red, green, pink, raisin...). They had a big styrofoam cup that I'd put the grapes in. I'd take a few, then pass it up front for them to share. Then they'd pass it back for a refill.
After we got home, I still remember carrying that gigantic watermelon back to my house with both arms hugging it. I was so excited to have my plundered prize.
I don't know why that memory has stuck with me all these years, but it is one of the earliest and most vivid memories I have. He died about a year later, and she is still around - 95 years old. We still keep in touch.

Graduating from university.
Going back to when I was 17 or 18 I never would've thought in a million years I would be a university graduate.
Now at 25 I can say I have a bachelor of commerce and it really proved to me that as human beings, we can do absolutely anything if we really put our minds to it. That is the truth.

It was when the doctor removed the bandages from my right eye the day after surgery. Vision was restored to my right eye, after a very lengthy time of blindness (I am still totally blind in my other eye). I got to see my family for the first time in years. As the surgeon told me, "In the world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king". How true. I praise the greatest physician the world has ever known: Christ Jesus.

When my son was born and I saw him for the first time. Until that moment I never knew that much love was possible. I had some complications so I didn't get to hold him for a few hours, but when the nurse brought him to me and I held him, I was overcome with so much love and joy to hold my precious child.

may sound crazy...
My most memorable moment was when I shot a gun for the first time, at a gun range of course! It was so empowering. If felt like I had just jumped out of a plane!

The days when my older sister was in the hospital, i remember her being in so much pain at the hospital and worrying whether she would survive so much surgery :'(
My most memorable moment was when i cried myself to sleep the day my oldest [stupid] sister told me that the sister in the hospital cried whenever we didn't go to visit her and it made me appreciate her so much more! I love my sis
