I’ve just been reading the other thread about the worst decisions people have made in their lives. I’m saddened to hear people’s stories and would like us to have a positive thread to go alongside it..
so what’s the best thing that’s happened to you, or the best decision you’ve made?
AIBU?
What’s the best thing that’s happened in your life?

So many are saying their partner and having children are the best things that have ever happened to them. Which is lovely but it makes me wonder -
if a group of men were asked the same question would they respond the same? Or would their answers be focused more on their careers or travel or other life experiences?
and secondly if your own children do not have children or even get married/have a long term relationship, would you feel that their quality of life would be limited and they would be missing out on the best thing their could possibly do in life?

Having a daughter. Didn't need to have any more children as I only ever wanted a girl. She is mid 20s now, and is such a good friend. We have lots of laughs, are in touch every day (by whatsapp, text, or twitter, or phone or in person,) we share lots of interests, and we can depend on her for ANYthing. She is bright and intelligent and successful and funny. And I love her so much.
We had such a lot of fun when she was a child. Did stuff I hadn't done for over 20 years, (that I used to do as a child.) Re-living my childhood for a decade, and going to concerts and shows with her was amazing. Had a lull when she was between 16 and 20 as she wasn't in touch a lot coz she was a teenager at college and then at uni (and it was a bit uncool to be in touch with mum!) But it went back to normal 5 or 6 years ago!
Best thing to happen in my life was having her.
