Most memeorable incident of your life

What is the most memorable incident of your life??:wave

Please share it..:drool

 

Seeing that i am an old codger i have so many but if i am forced to choose i would say seeing my daughter born.

 

Happy stuff? Graduating college is probably the biggest one for me yet.
I was looking at my friends facebook page who passed away last year at 20 years old when i saw this. Probably one of the bad stuffs, but there it is.

Pretty sure when you post these types of questions youre supposed to tell us yours too.

 

Mine is when I got admission in the Engineering college(For 4 years bachelors degree..I am in 2nd year now)...

When I saw a girl there who is my teacher also.. I started loving her.. I proposed her but she said I am younger than her.. I don't know if love demands any age group..

 

Good stuff my children being born.The pain and the Joy of seeing the tiny toes and fingers.
Bad stuff Not being able to see my mom before her accident that took her life12 yrs ago and say how much I loved her.

Seeing my daughter pass her batchelors degree last year, and when she passes her masters degree next year i suppose that will take pride of place, but in all honesty i think it is when i see my son and daughters faces on a christmas day opening their presents, even though they no longer children anymore !

 

Dunno but it usually demands a date first,I don't know if its the most memorable but I think the happiest as a kid were weekend summer nights playing in forests on massive swings,jumping out of trees onto hay,building tree houses,running through farmers fields with crops over your head.

I always remember after 'the gang' had decided we were going to the forest ect. being so excited running in and asking your parents if I could go with them I was on the verge of exploding "Can I go,can I go,can I go ,can I go!" Nothing has ever made me that happy since.

Not one particular time just all that good innocent stuff before I realised the life and the world is :crap and I'm gonna die someday.

Cynical? Me:-D

 

Hmm best times, being in the labor and delivery room and seeing my grandson being born. His dad was returning from Iraq, we got calls from Qatar, Ireland, Riverside and he arrived 51 minutes before the baby was born. He was on one side of my daughter and I was on the other.
Being a kid and going to the stream behind the house and swinging on the Tarzan Swing across the creek- one morning we saw the nuns who lived down the block swinging on them...
Getting married on Bell Rock in Sedona.
Worst
Getting the call my second grandson was born 11 weeks preemie and he was on a ventilator and I needed to get there he might not make it. We were blessed , he did and he is 2 years old now, had some lung challenges but he is brilliant , naughty and adorable.
Finding out my oldest grandson has Autism when he was 3 years old
Getting divorced from the man I married on Bell Rock in Sedona...so it was the best and worst.

 

For me, maybe some things are better left un-said.

 

@ Rikky:L- The bad news is - it gets much, much worse as you get older. The good news is - You were right about the dying bit.

Memorable moments, eh? Been so many, but getting married, having kids, having 'quality times' in various place, locally and world-wide on the positive.
On the bad side, losing almost all of the ones closest to me in various circumstances. Including my closest friend, of eighteen years standing, in a supposedly routine operation in the last few weeks.

 

Probably my operation

 

Good or bad?

Good: "I do."

Bad: Not telling. Some things are just not for sharing on a public web forum.

 

If you were the Dr., you probably would have tried a discount box-cutter and Duct Tape from Staples.rolleyes

 

Spoilsport!

Welcome to MG Engineer!:major

 

just cause i tried to use SATA with IDE doesn't mean I'd screw up an operation!

 

Most recent event is being told Nov. 24, 2009 that my cancer is gone. None showed up on the xrays.

 

The birth of my children.


Congrats on the news, by the way, obnoxious.

 

Always great to here news like that,even of people I don't know too well.

I can't imagine how I'd cope with something like that,best wishes

 

Having read all of the bellow i dont think i can add much more except to say when thing are getting me down and my dauter gives me a hug and a smile ,Best feeling in the world

 

For me, it was getting to actually deliver my own granddaughter. You see, her mother was my patient before I met and married HER mother. Awesome.
She is the light of our life. 18 and gorgeous.

Also, my hole-in-one on Mother's Day, 1987. Have been trying to repeat it ever since, but haven't.

 

When you said "Hole-in-one." I had flashes of you buying flowers or a huge gift for your mother that made her day but now I've realised you were out playing golf :-D

 

Thats so sad TEECEE, just think of all the people that love you:wave

 

That IS Great news:dancer:celebrate. Glad for you as well:grouphug

BT

 

Of course I love a lot of people, Tony,:wave but, sometimes the
'most memorable' are usually not very good memories.. :wave

 

Teecee, my wife and son and daughter where just talking the other day because my son and daughter are at that age now where all there invite's are to birthdays, engagements and weddings, and now all my wife and i seem to do is either hear that our friends are divorcing, or dying and we go to funerals all the time :cry !
This thread is starting to depress me now :cry so sod it i'm not coming into this thread anymore :wave

 

May the stars carry your sadness away, May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, May hope forever wipe away your tears And, above all, may silence make you strong.

 

What a nice write up tony thats really sweet !

 

Oh Fred, what good news, good for you!!!!! :cool


Mine has to be childbirth, just as exciting and wonderful four times as one

 

Once I had stupid situation. I was closed on the stadium after football match. To my happy there were glass doors in the room where I was closed. And my friends saw me there and an hour later were able to find a man with the keys. rolleyes

 

The Best: The birth of my son, jonas!

The Worst: When Jonas started talking

The Very Worst: When he started walking!

He is the only kid I know that goes out fully dressed, when he comes home, his fully starkers! Within seconds mind you, no kidding around....

 

wow.. the thread is nice.. buck up people..

 

Most memorable, not happiest, right?

Last car accident I had, that I was the sole survivor of.

 

Oh how sad.

 

The only redeeming factor in that case is that I wasn't at fault. I don't think I could have lived with myself otherwise.

 

I've heard of guilt being a hard thing to get over, being a sole survivor, whether fault is involved or not. Had to be hard anyway.
Must have been a special purpose for you.

 

Yeah, peeving everyone off here at geeks. :-D

 

shhhh, thats his job

 

Adrynalyne, I think you redeem yourself quite well

 

Interesting!

 

This is shaping up to be a most important thread for this time of year!

There is no "most memorable" incident, only many ones that have shaped the way I think and view this world and why I'm here.

Like:

Why didn't I get seriously injured when, as a youth, I got hit by a RV at speed when I was riding my bike (the bike got destroyed, yet I had no injuries and I saw and remembered all, including rolling on the road watching the curb spin before my eyes)?

Why did my youngest son display all the classic earmarks of Cerebral Palsy --- enough to be diagnosed with it at 9 mo. of age --- not show any such earmarks now? He's 9 now and looks and behaves like a normal child (if there's such a thing :-D).

Why, when driving my mom from California in her car six months after Dad died, did the car suddenly give up the ghost in the middle of Utah -- giving a loud rod knock and sudden loss of compression and smoke --- that there was about 12 bottles of oil in the trunk and upon filling the crankcase, the car was drivable and made it to Chicago and lasted another 2 years?

Why am I making half of what I made 3 years ago and still able to pay all my bills and keep up with rent?

...and many more like this.

:confused

 

Prayer:-D Do you think its because your religious and god is helping you personally?

I'm not going to argue against it if you do,I just wondered.

 

Some things are best proven experientially, I guess! (wow! the spell checker OK'd that word! I thought it was made up :confused :-D)

It's interesting you are the one asking --- in fact, I did not pray a lick when I got hit by the RV, so --- am I somehow Unbreakable (Like Bruce Willis?) or is something else in play?

 

I'll bite why is it interesting?:cool

 

Your correct in your assumption, but again, I didn't pray before, during, or after getting hit, so ---
