If you could relive one day again, which would it be?

Just that really, you can't change anything but you could just enjoy every part of it again. Mine would be a day at uni where all of my friends hung out for st Patrick's day all day and the sun shone happily. Had such a lovely time! There are more poignant ones but that day was just tons of fun!

Two days for me.
The last day before dad died. Wish is prolonged my conversation with him on the phone. It was just a run of the mill one, and I wish his last moments with me were longer.
The last time I saw my brother. I wish we just chatted more and then maybe our conversation went on a bit longer and maybe took a different path, towards one which would have made him think differently, and possibly saved his life.

What a lovely idea this is.....

The day DD1 was born. Or the day I went on my first holiday with my lovely friend. Difficult to decide.

The day before my mum died. It was a lovely day spent with her and we had no idea she would die the very next morning. I'd give anything to spend that day with her again.

My 7th birthday - which was also my first communion day (a massive deal in Ireland) and the fair was on in Booterstown, so the whole class ran amok in fancy dresses and mini tuxedos, high as kites on candy floss. I literally felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

TwoGinScentedTears · 02/02/2019 19:49

Any day that me and my Dmum spent together before she was diagnosed, before the loan and the heartache set in, before she died.

One of those non days. Where everything was as it always was. Even one of the days that she did my head in. But especially one of the days where the sun shone, we cracked open a bottle, and we just did what we always did: talked. I miss her voice so much. I'd go back to that in a heartbeat. And I'd tell her again how much I love her and she'd say right back at ya. It's almost a year since she died and the coming week is gonna be hell. But I'd give anything to go back and live In a Moment where none of that was on the horizon. Ignorance truly
Is bliss.

Love you mom,

My wedding day. It was such a wonderful sunny August day. All our friends and family were there and we had a fabulous time.

norbert23 · 02/02/2019 19:51

Sending love to all those with bittersweet days xxx

The first full day home with my DS2 (picking that over the first full day at home with DS1 so I can have them both there!)

The day I had my children

CatnissEverdene · 02/02/2019 19:57

We had a family holiday once on Burgh Island, Devon. It was a hot sunny summers day, we had all of our DDs with us and our very gorgeous 1st grandchild who was a few weeks old. We went down to the beach late afternoon, swam and just lingered on the beach watching the sun go down. That really was a truly perfect day.

SummerHouse · 02/02/2019 20:01

@dunkin Heart a little broken at your post. So sorry. Flowers
What an amazing person you are to be positive about the cuddles you had.

Harrykanesrightsock · 02/02/2019 20:02

2008 in Cornwall. Sunny, beach day. Happy kids. BBQ and then sat outside until the early hours watching stars and drinking Sangria. I’m sure my heart rate drops by 10 when I think about it.

FrannySalinger · 02/02/2019 20:03

A perfect day on Kho Phag Nan when I was young, gorgeous, and travelling the world. My wedding day and the birth of my children were incredible but thinking back to that day makes me extraordinarily nostalgic

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 02/02/2019 20:04

The last time I saw my Grandad. He died suddenly and unexpectedly when I was 13. My greatest regret rema that he never met my husband and children, but I would give anything to see him just one more time...

WeeTinkerMonkey · 02/02/2019 20:07

One of the days of my honeymoon.
Gorgeous Scottish village, beautiful sunshine, sat with a whiskey with my new wife and looking forward to a possible whole lifetime ahead of times like this with my wife... Ahh...

She fucked her work mate a few months later so we divorced.. lol

JustTrying15 · 02/02/2019 20:10

The day before my Nanny died. I was only just 8 and didn't even know she was dying but I would love for my Mum to have one more day with her Mum. Would be even more perfect it somehow I could be the age I am now and show her my wonderful son.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 02/02/2019 20:11

Hard to choose!
My wedding day - that's high up the list! If nothing else I could just relax and enjoy it all and not feel any stress.
Actually, hang that. The day after my wedding when dh and I had a day in the hotels bridal suite for free and a leisurely drive to our honeymoon. Was a fun day.

First day with ds1. Not the labour as that was hell, but the first 24 hours with my brand new little baby.
I wouldn't want to relive my first day with ds2 as he was in special care for 24 hours. Horrible day.

Magmatic80 · 02/02/2019 20:14

The day DP and I drove through Death Valley. It was his first time in USA so a lot of the elements of our trip I’d experienced before (the food etc), but this landscape was just so out of this world we were equally blown away. I wasn’t expecting to have that as best thing we saw in the two weeks, but there was so much diversity in the scenery. It saddens me a bit that I can never see it for the first time again.

AgentCooper · 02/02/2019 20:17

Any random day in my DS’s first few months. I was so down and anxious throughout his first year, I don’t feel that I enjoyed any of it properly or really felt what it was like to love him. I feel like everyone else around me got to feel it, but not me. He’s 16 months now and I know how it feels to be absolutely bowled over by my love for him, to be full of joy at coming home to him. But what I wouldn’t give to have a day to hold him in my arms as a wee tiny squishy baby, to kiss his wee gumsy mouth, smell his wee head and feel so much love for him.

Boyskeepswinging · 02/02/2019 20:19

The first full day of our first holiday in WDW. Due to jet lag we got to Magic Kingdom as they were opening the gates at 7am when the sun was just coming up. I had always wanted to take my DS to WDW, I'd planned and saved for years and we'd finally made it. It was the start of the best holiday ever.

Piewacket · 02/02/2019 20:22

The day I went to Kew Gardens with my son way back when he was just fourteen, and it POURED with rain all day and we got thoroughly soaked, but we saw tiny ducklings following their mother across the lawn, and walked up to the top of the pagoda, and looked out at the rain-sodden view, and we did nothing but laugh together all day. It was magical.

Bloodybridget · 02/02/2019 20:23

The day I held my best party ever - actually it was a team effort and not at my house, more of an event than a party. And my now DP was there and left thinking "h'mm, Bloodybridget" so it was also the start of my happy ever after.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 02/02/2019 20:24

The full moon party in Ko Pha Ngan in 2001. It was just so much fun - either that or wandering around in Paris then visiting an all night Hippo restaurant !

RavenLG · 02/02/2019 20:27

Day DP proposed. It was such a lovely sunny day, we had been around a lovely wildlife park. I had fed capybara (my favouritest animal ever) and it had been so lush. Then he proposed which was obviously amazing. We were staying in this beautiful little cottage in the cotswolds and all the flowers in the garden we're so vibrant and buzzing with life. We sat and enjoyed some cider classy drinks, before going to a local pub and having a wonderful meal and drinks in the setting sun. It was bloody amazing, no worries, no cares. Just love and happiness.

A particular day during a family holiday to New York with DH and our children who were 16 and 9.

Started off on the Staten Island Ferry where I listened to Carly Simon and reinacted Working Girl as we sailed passed Statue of Liberty. We then walked up Wall Street, touched the Bull and continued onto the 9/11 memorial. So poignant. Had lunch from a food wagon on South Street then walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. Spent the afternoon wandering Brooklyn dreaming about which Brownstone we would buy then had pizza from Grimaldi's. Watched the sunset over Manhattan before catching the East River Ferry back to 34th St. Walked passed the Empire State Building before heading back to the hotel.

So many memories of that day. Not just the iconic Bucket List items ticked off the List. Also DH at the age of 48 having his first taste of pizza. Sitting on the steps of some random church in Brooklyn eating melon and watching the world go by. Wiping the tears of my 16 year old DS at the 9/11 memorial.
