What is your happiest memory?

Question

Mine would have to be the birth of my sons, so that makes two happiest memories. Birth of grandchildren run close behind those days. But on an everyday basis... I'm happiest just being alive, seeing the beauty all around us, playing with my grandchildren.

Plum eccentric: What a touching story. My mother has alzheimers and it's a heartbreaking horrible disease. I'm sorry for your loss but so happy you had those two hours just as they were.

Answer 1

One of the happiest memories is the last 2 hours I spent with my Dad before he died !!!! He had Alzheimer's and was in a VA hospital. The last day I went to see him I sat at the head of the bed while he laid with his head at the foot. I rubbed lotion on his feet and ankles. The whole 2 hours I was there he was very alert and coherent. He knew us and we talked about everything like current events, where I was living (750 miles away), when I was going back, we talked about everything !!!! Those last 2 hours I spent with Dad were like a gift from God to be able to see him as he always was and for him to have seen me and to know I was there !!!!!

Answer 2

Growing up w/ four siblings who are still close and agreeable with each other. We did everything together on the farm where we were raised. We worked hard but our play was just as hard as we build forts in winter snow, haymow games climbing and playing tarzan w. heavy twine ropes. It's a wonder we didn't get hurt or worse. We looked out for each other though and noone messed with us at school or on the bus. Our imaginations were the limit and we didn't have electronics to occupy our minds. It was great.

Answer 3

My happiest WWE memory replaced into while factor cashed in money interior the economic business enterprise in 2006 to overcome John Cena and win his first international call! i individually felt like I won the international call. as a results of fact factor were working his @ss off ever for the reason that he replaced right into a newborn to get to that spot. He had fullfilled his existence-long purpose! factor replaced into ultimately a international champion! in spite of everything the bumps and bruises, the highs and the lows, the reliable and the undesirable, he ultimately have been given what he were working for, the WWE Championship. it is so happy for me as a results of fact he's my fashionable wrestler of all time and seeing him triumphing his first international call replaced into so large! And his 20+ 3 hundred and sixty 5 days dream had ultimately grow to be a certainty. very reliable question. *starred*

Answer 4

I always loved my Dad, and in my heart knew that he loved me - but we never said the words. Then, a year before he died, he had a major heart attack and we thought he was going to die. He was "high as a kite" on pain medication, and my sister and I were sitting with him. I suddenly thought, if I don't say it now I'll never get another chance. So I told him that I loved him, and his dear eyes just sparkled and he said, "oh, I love you too ! You are the loveliest girls I ever could have wished for !" He recovered from that episode, and we all went back to our normal selves again, and he finally passed away a year later, with no warning. The memory of his dear old face on that day is a very special one that keeps me warm when I think of it.

Answer 5

Sad to say, I think my happiest memory was marrying my ex-husband. He had custody of his 4 year old son, and I felt I finally had a family.But, on the other hand, I am happy every day I wake up and am able to get out of bed and live my life. Life is good!

Answer 6

I have many. Yes many. Life has been good to me and I thank God Almighty for it. One of moments was when we bought our first house. The smile on the face of my wife was awesome. It was a dream come true for her. She always wanted a house to call a home. She didn't get it on her first marriage and neither did I on my first marriage. But when we married we worked for it. She cried with joy.
But don't choose this answer as best. I saw others here that are truly worthy. As in the one who spent the last 2 hours with her dad before he passed on. WOW.
In reading everyones answers I detected much joy. Thumbs up for all.
Southern Comfort, you need to share your story of your son with us. That's moving.

Answer 7

My kids, yes, but for the longest time I had wanted to see the Taj Mahal. I went to Agra, and my first glimpse of it was at a distance when I didn't expect it. It was in a hazy sun-light as the sun was setting, and was glowing pink. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen!

Answer 8

My daughter's birth and my wedding day are among my happiest memories. Another would be when we first moved from WV to FL, it was all so different and so exciting to me. My daughter got roller skates for Christmas and it was amazing we could be outside in Dec.

Answer 9

Meeting my brother for the first time in 34 years. met him in a restaurant on may 12 2006 in Wilcox AZ. Talk to him every week since then

Answer 10

Being home with my maternal grandparents when I was younger...I did so love them and had such fun with my grandpa.....'running the streets' with him in his old hump backed Ford! - going to the poultry market; the meat market; fresh veggie farm; picking strawberries.....going to the ice house [they still had an icebox when I was very young]

Then coming back home and watching him cook...he had been a chef in another life and could whip up some wonderful meals...and my grandma would make her rice pudding....they were fun, and happy and I felt so loved in their presence.
