To ask if you could relive one moment of your life what would it be?

[Rainbowb]

Mine would be when dh proposed to me in The Maldives or

Or my graduation!

Just given birth to ds in a pool. He was hanging in the water and all I see / hear was focused on him. The world didn't exist.

A voice in my ear ,mw , said ",pick up your baby" . I reached down and gathered him up.

If i could live in that moment for ever I would, it was prefect.

The first moments after the birth of my DD. I was so tired and scared that I couldn’t enjoy those moments.

Seeing my DH’s smile when our DD was born. That’s the clearest memory I have of giving birth and I’d love to see that look on his face again.

DD birth - the last 30 mins of labour coupled with the first two hours afterwards

Just realised I didn't say a moment so probably when she opened her eyes after being born and looked at me. No noise, just staring up at me. The most amazing feeling in the world.

The aftermath of DD's birth.

Definitely nothing to do with the birth of DS! Ugh.

My wedding day. Outdoor ceremony. Walking out with DH (we walked down the aisle together), then sun came out and all our guests were looking at us with beaming faces. I felt bathed in love, it was wonderful.

Any time I was in a room with both my parents. They died while I was still a bit of a nightmare. I'd love the chance to apologise and thank them and well, just tell them I really loved them.

They'd probably look at me all wtf? But still...

I'm another that thought birth immediately. Both my children. Amazing, love , full moments.

Another is after my son died, the first time dh and I danced afterwards. Over a year had fibre. Hazy and painful, We just started dancing and then we realised we were dancing, which was so alien, so impossible, that we Both realised that we were "getting over" it. Because we could dance again. Because we could hear music. Enjoy it.

There were a few moments when I was travelling where I felt completely happy, content and at peace with myself and the world. I would capture those moments again.
Also the moment I told my parents my GCSE results was pretty amazing.

I don't remember collecting my A Level results at school, or any part of that day. I think the fear then relief affected my ability to store memories, so I'd love to have another crack at it.

How many of those moments do people have in a lifetime when they are totally happy and at one with the world?

Mine was a day when DD was 2, we were playing at a beautiful beach nearby with friends, a complete feeling of freedom and content for a while.

Any moment with my mum. I miss her so much.

When DD was born and we didn't know what sex we were getting. DH saw her before I did and loudly announced, with tears, 'its a grill'! (he is dyslexic)

May seem strange this... My Dad's Taoist funeral a few months ago - it was beautiful. Immediate family had to bow down to the floor to honour and thank him for everything he had done for the family... And then the other mourners had to light incense and do a little bow at the altar where there was a picture of him as a young man. I miss him every second, but for those few moments, everything felt so right and so special and I know he would have loved every second of the way we honoured him. And apart from that, still walking between my elderly parents linking both of them, whilst shopping just a few months ago. We did this frequently - but I knew it wouldn't last forever of course. We just never realised it would all 'disappear' so soon

Not childbirth here either.

I think for me some nights out with good friends, or weekends away. Being young and stupid and having crazy fun with no responsibility. Laughing so much you have a tummy ache.

Maybe my wedding day. I was so nervous that a lot of my memories of the day are a blur. So I'd love to go back and relive it.

The first time I held my children. Especially my eldest - there was something so breath taking about realising that this 8lb 3oz screaming, purple lump had made me a mum. And the first year with him, just the two of us most of the time as my husband worked so often.

I'd love to be a little girl again and be in the car with my dad. He used to make car journeys so entertaining for me and my sister. We'd play games and sing and go all over the place just the 3 of us. He adored us and we idolised him. He died 4 years ago and I'll never ever get over it.

The feeling just after giving birth. You couldn't put it into words. 16 hour slog of labour, pushing and pushing and the absolute feeling of elation once you have given birth. And then they give you your child to hold 😭 I'm getting a little tear in my eye just thinking about it.

Oh also the day I ran my first 5k at the age of 42 😁 that felt amazing.

My first thought was my wedding day - either the moment my dad squeezed my hand in the car and told ne how proud he was of me, or the moment DH and I turned to face each other at the altar and he whispered how beautiful I looked.

The birth of DS too, although just the moment he was handed to me and I called to DH saying how perfect he was.

Being a bit melancholy, perhaps any moment with my Gran. She died when I was about 4, she was only mid-50s, and I do wish I could remember her properly.

Watching an astonishing display of the Northern Lights, standing on a frozen river as far north as you can go in mainland Europe.

FOr me it would be the moment we said our wedding vows, over dhs shoulder I could see his mum in tears rummaging in her bag for hankies upset that I was ‘stealing’ her son!

And she made me cry. I wanted to be able to say my vows without crying and she spoilt the moment!

Watching the sunrise over Mt Everest on honeymoon. Absolutely breathtaking (and not just from the cold )
