Which moments did you guys have in your life that you'll never forget, could be good or bad both is possible ...
A great moment in life I'll never forget is the first time I was alloud to go out :) It was all so very exiting but quite ridiculous if you think about it, because the party started at 20 and it ended at 1 o'clock lol, but I had the time of my life :p and now the party starts at 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock and we're not home before 6 lol :p
A bad moment in life I'll never forget is when my grandfather died, loved him very much :)
Last post
The same ... bad moment occurred when my grandfather died. He died over a year ago. It was the most important person in my life and the man who raised me. He was my hero. He was and will be forever. All of his passions, all interests were also mine. He fought the disease - cancer for over 3 years. I was with him until the end. From the moment when he died a lot of things have lost their sense to me.
And a good time ... when I married my wife and when she told me that I will soon be a father. Great feeling.
having my first child placed into my arms in a Vietnamese orphanage, having my second child placed into my arms after giving birth to her and noticing those two placements were exactly alike. (no higher high than those two moments)
9/11... a day that will live in infamy in my spirit forever
the day my dog Lola got him by a car
The births of all 4 of my children. Each was a different experience. First one in hospital when I had no idea about what to expect, 2nd was a home birth, 3rd back to hospital after a pregnancy marred by asthma worries and hospitilizations, 4th an emergency C-section after developing pre eclampsia - all equally remembered, although I have to say if I'd known just how lovely an epidural was, I would have had one everytime rather than with just my last child...lol.
I will never forget when my son was born that was so special and also when he was 11 days old on Christmas eve he was admitted to hospital he had a thing called Pyloric Stenosis that was horrible but il never forget it.
When my dog Lexie had to be put to sleep she had cancer.
When I was a kid and found out my mom had cancer, when she died, when my father died, when I was walking down the aisle and started wondering "Why am I marrying this man," when I gave birth to my son, when I realized that there was no way my marriage was ever going to work. That's the big ones that stand out.
And Earthmother, I had an epidural too. There's no way I would try to give birth without one. Yes, I'm a wimp and I know it!
the day one of my cancer doctors told me that i was officially OUT of cancer treatment. the first day of college, i was sitting in my first class listening to the professor and realized i had made it thru cancer/drug addiction and was now a college student.
The worst moment in my life was 5 years ago when my dad passed away from prostate cancer, so sad and unexpected...but 2 very happy moments were when my son was born 25 years ago and i watched my grandson being born 10 months ago.. Also last year my son won an award for apprentice of the year, i was very proud of him..
Not to hijack but I just have to say this: after giving birth "the natural way" I wanted to personally hunt down whatever %$#@! it was that told me that natural childbirth was "better" and something I should do, and KILL that person DEAD.
I was done having my kids after one adoption and one birth, but I seriously wanted to have another birth WITH the drugs just so I could compare and start a one woman war against whatever &^%$# in the world go around preaching to us WHY we shouldn't have pain meds at birth?????? HUH??? Ever try passing a pineapple through your who- ha? Unless you have, then SHUT UP about the natural childbirth superiority. OMG. (Okay, "maybe" it's better for baby in some ways, yes, I know but I really wonder if it's better for the mother!!! THAT can't be right!)
My baby came out perfect, uncrumpled, smiling, ready to learn how to play poker or something, but I felt like I had been run over by multiple trains. I think it took me MUCH longer to recover than it would have with drugs.
okay, rant over. carry on.
I'm hijacking horribly but: so true. And I really hate that when women descend on preggos with their own personal horror stories. I wouldn't rant like that to someone if I knew they were expecting.
A good thing I will never forget was the first time I read a book the whole way through. It was in the back of the car on the way to school. It was 'Green Eggs and Ham' hahah
Bad thing, when I was in high school a friend confessed to me that she was having a sexual relationship with her 45 year old, not to mention creepy, English teacher. That moment changed me forever as I had did report them and I basically had to leave school for a bit because I was being threatened by people....scary 0.o
wow, must have been a difficult situation for you then ... but it still happens now everywhere teachers who take advantage of their students for good grades or just because they have a crush on their teachers ...
There are so many moments in my life that i will never forget..
Well, the most recent comes to mind. My Daughter had to have her wisdom teeth pulled out December of last year. After it was over the nurse came and got me and her mother. My Daughter was sitting there all doped up still from the anesthesia. The nurse and her mother kept waving and lifting her arms to try to bring her back to "reality". She kept fighting them, and they finally pulled her up to her feet. She shoves their hands away, and then walks across the room. She then threw her arms around my neck, jumped into my arms, and laid her head on my shoulder. It was just like she was a little girl again (she's fourteen). She's almost as tall as me now, but it reminded me of those days long lost. It was an awesome feeling for me! I guess nothing replaces the comfort of a loving father, no matter how old you get. It's one of my favorite memories in my life, and I'll always cherish it. She'd kill me if she knew I told you guys, ha ha.
The summer before my grandpa died he took me up to the mountains for my first time ever in las vegas. We watched the sunset and there was a beautiful double rainbow. I remember saying how much I loved rainbows. He died two years ago on May 29th and after the funeral I drove up there super upset and I watched the sunset in the same place and I remember looking up and seeing double rainbows. Now everytime I see one I think that maybe he is watching over me. This is a picture of the sunset and it is my favorite picture ever. Also a moment I will never forget because honestly what are the chances of that happening twice.

Aww what a sad but beautiful story...
The night of the planetary convergence. All the planets lined up, and it was supposed to be a moment of great cosmic significance. A group of my ragged counter-culture mates and I trekked up to the top of the highest mountain in East Gippsland. It was a perfectly still and clear night. Nobody had a telescope or even binoculars, so we couldn't see the planets, just the moon and the bright stars. The pagans danced, the buddhists chanted, the muslims prayed, the christians sang hymns. Everybody got stoned or drunk. There was kissing and hugging aplenty.
After midnight, the Aurora Australis leapt out of the horizon, and hovered over our heads. Shimmering, changing colours.
It was not a night of great cosmic significance. In the cosmos, nothing that humans do, or perceive, is significant. We slept amongst the rocks on the mountaintop, and the next day went back to our tasks.
