Great story UL.
Memorable memories... not sure which are the best of my life but memorable.
Went to China when it first opened up to Americans. Was sitting by myself outside of a restaurant just watching pedestrians and traffic. An elderly women on a bicycle going by just kept turning around looking at me. The expression was "uppity American". I was so thrilled to be there and JUST smiled at her. Her face split open with a smile and kept turning back to me smiling. It was a thrilling connection!!! One I will always remember.
My first job when in one night I was asked out by 5 guys. I freaked. Of course, I went out with the first guy who asked me.
Watching my 6 week old son who I was patting on the back and rocking....start patting me back!!!
Singing nonsense to my very young son who was mimicking me... only to realize others were hearing the exchange. hehe
Seeing my son see his breath in the cold air for the first time. Like WTH is this??? Makes a person realize what we take for granted!
Loved your story UL!!
That exact scenario is one if my bucket list items. I always get the urge to go visit the moors of the Brontes when the weather turns here to crisp fall. Thank you for this story! I have always said that when I won when the lottery, Yorkshire is a likely place I would live because I could go up north to Scotland easily and down south to sunny climates easily.
When I was early 20’s I took a solo trip to the UK. I was there for a few weeks. One of the unforgettable places for me on that trip was trudging up to the remains of Castle Campbell, the Castle of Gloom. It was misty and beautiful and quiet, and I was the only person there. Ghosties were floating around, it seemed. Later that day I walked into town and had the most wonderful food I have ever eaten: deep-fried macaroni and cheese at a restaurant there. That was a good day!
Best day of my life? I slept through it.
I haven't had mine yet (or maybe I slept through it, like LDAHL), but I've had some good moments, like this one with my SO at a friend's wedding:

I've been thinking about this for the past several days and can't come up with the best day so far, I think I'll put my money on tomorrow.

That picture said it all--he was my front man.
He was sick once, and his fellow bus riders all got together and bought and signed a card. I could have dropped dead while riding my bus and no one would have noticed. Opposites definitely attracted in my case.
