Best day of your life so far

[capgemleopis]

Up late and thinking about some of the best days of my life so far. Goes without saying the day my children were born were my best days but other then that I think the day I found out my first born was going to be a little girl was up there and then probably the day I found out I was pregnant with my second baby was very special.

what about you?

No day where I involuntarily pooed myself makes it into a 'best day' so that rules out my kids being born

But my wedding day was by far my best day

Thanks for sharing everyone. Some of these are just so lovely to read.

Placemarking for later

I don’t agree with @Fredflinstoneswife either but that’s what makes her happy. This is a thread about personal moments and that’s hers. As long as she doesn’t gad about telling kids they’re sinners it’s hers to value.

I say cut her some slack. We can speculate as to why her 11 year old version might need to feel saved. And we can be glad she felt happy.

The birth of my 3rd child. My other two births were much more painful so I didn't feel that rush of love (more traumatized) that I felt with my third.

Wedding day! We’re childfree and after having to postpone everything due to Covid, being utterly stressed that key people may have to self isolate and then a massive storm bringing down a power cable through the churchyard, I couldn’t believe we even made it up the aisle!!! Saying our vows in church everything just melted away and it was just us and all the love in the room. Then having a massive reception and looking around realising that everyone we loved was in the same room and realising that would probably never happen again in our entire lives was complete magic, particularly after 2 years of not seeing people and separation, it made us realise how much we truly valued our circle of friends and family. Not to mention the fact that I married a man better than I could possibly imagine after a previously turbulent love life!

In terms of moments, crossing the finish line of my first marathon and realising I had done something incredibly hard in very personally difficult circumstances was incredible and a huggggge confidence boost.

But the moments that get me the most are when it’s me and DH at home with our somewhat special needs rescue cats. They were both overlooked in the shelters for various issues and we have had some utterly magical moments where they realise they have come home forever, that we love them and they can sleep soundly. In particular when we’d gone through 6 weeks of careful and sometimes tense introductions and realised that it had worked and we could definitely keep DCat2 as they weren’t going to kill each other… I had been holding back on falling for him and was suddenly able to lean in to the fact I really adored him. Watching them sleep soundly with full bellies and under close vet care knowing they will never go back on the streets is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. They are worth every penny and all the effort because the love they have brought me and DH is priceless.

My wedding day even though we only managed 9 months of being married before he died. It was a just out of lockdown wedding and we managed to have all the people who mattered to us come and celebrate the day. It was low key and beautiful.

Going to Wembley and watching my team get promoted to the Premier League. Pure euphoria when the final whistle went, celebrating with family and friends for days after, memories I’ll never forget.

It might not seem like much to some, but I’ve spent a lot of time and money supporting my team over many years, so it’s a big part of my life. And to watch them finally get to the place us fans have been longing for was something special.

Not sure but definitely husband and children related. They are the best.

DS2 birth was probably the happiest I ever felt for a period.

Everyday of my honeymoon🥲

it’s been a while

When me and my first boyfriend made it official. It was amazing cause I’d never had never dated before and never thought I would.

And next would be when my DD graduated with honors. I was very proud of her. And happy that she was finally going off to college and I would get to finally have my life back 😂

The day I quit breast feeding. Still remember it - finally saying Oh Hell No - getting in the car driving to the store to buy formula knowing I never ever have to experience that level of pain again.

@Fredflinstoneswife you know it’s all BS though right ?!! I still can’t get over people living their lives by a glorified story of something that factually and scientifically cannot and doesn’t exist.

This happened to me 5 years ago. My real life started from that point.

Don't Catholics make the sacrament of reconciliation around the age of 8? That's the point where the church believes that we become responsible for our own choices and have an awareness of sin?

I had a similar experience to Fredflintstones wife and it has brought me huge joy in my life. All she was was doing was sharing her happiest day as per the OP and I dont think it's the place to try to tear down the specifics of her faith. So what if an 11 year old had an experience and turned to God? Christianity is based entirely on Jesus saving people from their sins. That's the whole point of it. She understood it at an early age and embraced it and I really don't understand why people came on to berate her for it. There are plenty of threads on mumsnet making fun of us religious people. She wasn't trying to convert anyone, just sharing an experience. Whether you believe it or even respect it, I don't think this thread was the right opportunity for the religion haters to pull her down for it.

Why do you feel the need to respond to her happiest moment with telling her it's all made up? I just think that's very mean spirited.

Ok yes I take your point @Darkdiamond in the context of greatest moment I agree my comment was a bit mean. For that i apologise.

Any excuse to make an anti-Catholic comment.

The day I had an epiphany in a therapy session and realised it wasn't all my fault, after all (*it= childhood trauma).

I remember coming out of the session and everything looked and felt different. Something major shifted, as my life changed pretty fast after that ( in a good way)

Obviously the day I had both DD's and lots of amazing days with them thereafter.

Pre DD's the day me and DH got together. We'd been friends for a long time and went to a work event together. I had liked him for a long time but didn't think feelings were reciprocated. He took my hand and we had a kiss and it is stuck so vividly in my memory every time I think about it I smile and and get butterflies.
