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

[norbert23]

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!

The beautiful winter day mum and I went a walk in the snow in the countryside before going home to dad and dh.
I went that walk alone today , mum and dad have died.

The day before my mother died.

One of the days my DD was alive without a doubt.

I can't pick just 1.

A day in ibiza on a girls holiday. All day at the beach, all night in clubs and bars. Just pure decadence and hedonism.

The days my dcs were born.

Our wedding day.

A Christmas day when we had no money, just each other and enough food and drink to last months. Dd was only little and had everything she wanted, me and dh played poker and drank ourselves sober when she went to bed but it was such a lovely day.

A day recently on holiday.

A day over this Christmas just relaxing at home.

I am lucky to have so many to choose from really. Nothing dramatic or very interesting to anyone else but special because they are ordinary and extraordinary at the same time.

Without a doubt my wedding day. DH is my second husband but my first ever boyfriend. I regret dumping him more than anything. The moment I walked down the aisle and looked at his face smiling at me will stay with me forever 💖

Also, any of the days of my mat leave with dc1. I felt so unbelievably happy and fulfilled. He was an absolute joy and I knew it was special.
I now have 3dc and am never that calm any more.
Or that first year of Uni! So much fun! Any day.

Not my own wedding day, I don’t like being the centre of attention. Probably my best friend’s wedding.
She wanted to book us into her wedding hotel but had been afraid I would see it as cheeky, we were staying at a nearby premier inn. It was a beautiful hotel on the Ayrshire coast.
She got married in Culzean castle and I’ll never forget that feeling walking up with the pipers playing. She had a dress malfunction so we had to keep eating delicious canapés and drinking champagne til she arrived. The humanist ceremony was so touching in a room overlooking the sea.
Then back to the beautiful hotel to be pampered with gorgeous food and an open bar, live band and fireworks.
Best wedding ever!

My wedding day, over 25 years ago. It was just perfect and such fun with friends and family.

The day I realised I was in love for the first time. I was a student and it was a hot sunny day. We had a break and I was lying outside with him, both stretched out, his head on my stomach. His eyes were closed and he had a big smile on his face. I was playing with his hair and I just felt my stomach flip over and being overwhelmed by how happy I felt being with him and the fear he might not feel the same way. I remember saying, “I wish I could stay out here forever”. What I really wish I’d said was “I think I’ve just fallen in love with you.”

I never found the guts to tell him.

The day my child was born

A perfect day on an island off Mexico where my daughter was trying to catch fish in her sun hat while me and my husband were drinking pina coladas watching the world go by

These are lovely and heartwarming. for those of you with bittersweet memories

3 for me:

• A trip to nz with dp, boat trip on our own up the coast then a day hike back through abel Tasman, beautiful scenery, dinner out at the end of the day, then snuggling up in our campervan. Carefree, no worries, beauty all around and no rush.

• any number of days when dc1 was born, that first year was my happiest. But one that sticks out was my 40th birthday, in cornwall on holiday, gorgeous sunny day on the beach with dp and dc, just pottering and loving him. He was much waited for and just a perfect baby .
• i wish i could go back to my childhood, to days as a family on holiday in Scotland. I find it hard to remember specific days but i had such a happy childhood. Probably spent pottering, reading, chatting, nothing out of the ordinary. Df died 6 years ago after having had dementia for 15 years, and dm now also has dementia. One of them has been ill almost my whole adult life and i would love to go back to when they were both well and i could talk to them properly.

A really fun sunny day in Blackpool in 1974 with a posh friend (never any strings attached) who'd borrowed his mum's car for the day. We did the pleasure beach, drinks, nightclub, followed by a whole night of Clint Eastwood. And it was fun, fun, fun...
I sometimes wonder if he ever remembers slumming it with me!

My DF had not been well and to cheer him up I took him and DM for a surprise day out. He was a huge steam train fan and I booked tickets on a steam train to Stratford upon Avon. He was like a little boy - they stopped the train and he and others all climbed into the engine to have a look round. It was the happiest I had seen him for a long time. He died a couple of months later and I was so happy we went on that trip, it's one of my favourite memories.

The day my first daughter was born. It was a terrible day. Deeply traumatic and sad and just awful but I would give anything to see her again. To hold her. To drink in every bit of her before I had to let her go.

The last day of a holiday in 2001 in Cornwall with my best friend and his wonderful mother. We wandered round St Ives, had lunch in a restaurant overlooking the beach, then saw The Unsinkable Molly Brown at the Minack theatre. There were fireflies in the dusk and it was a day of being purely happy. My friend moved to Australia ten years ago and his lovely lovely mother died. I'd love that day again.

A Saturday night in Feb 2018 visiting my mum that evening in hospital, I never knew that was the last time I would ever speak to her, if I'd have know that night was the last. I would have never have left, id have stayed and held her all night. Id give anything to go back to that night.

My DH’s 30th. We went to stay with my parents (non-UK based), and we spent the day in the sun, the 4 of us, then my DF took us all out for dinner to celebrate DH’s birthday. We sat outside in the evening sun at DF’s favourite restaurant - an amazing, remote little place with Michelin star food - and we all drank a lot of wine, and we talked, and we laughed, and it got dark and they put all these strings of old school outdoor bulb lights on, and we stayed until the restaurant closed. DH had an amazing birthday, but also, DF was in his element - sharing good food and wine with his family and telling silly stories. We lost my DF to cancer quite suddenly about a year later, and that is always how I will remember him, sat there eating lobster ravioli in the sun and trying to convert DH to being a red wine drinker. (He succeeded!)

All these lovely memories really do make realise how important it is to make time for carefree days whenever you can. I'm having a pj day with my DD and introducing her to Wallace and Gromit. It's been very sweet so far.

The day my dd was stillborn, I would give anything to have one more cuddle.

Wow, Fenella - there’s something extraordinarily lovely about that, in a sea of lovely stories.

And so sorry for your loss Blizy.

The day DS was born, he's only 13 days old now but I want to relive it so I could insist he was placed on my bare skin instead of me watching people pass him about while I laid on the operating table in a panic 😥

Thanks @Sandsnake. He died 4 years ago now, and it still makes me both smile and cry to think of that day. I’d give anything to have it again.
