50+ community Weekend Check-in July 17-19, 2020

Happy Friday everyone, I hope you're all doing well

Life has ups and downs, we all know that. It's not always a bed of roses and we have to take some days with a pinch of salt. There are, however, some days which are particularly nice and stick to our minds, so today I like to ask you
What was the best day in your life?

What was the best day in your life? All in all, I think the best day so far was the day I married my late wife. It was in her parent's home, all our relatives and friends were there. It was a marvelous time.
@Offmytrack sorry for the loss of your wife. It is nice to have those wonderful memories.
@soulsings It was a wonderful 30 years. I will never forget.
@Offmytrack when I think of the relationship in my life, I realize that it has had a big influence on who I am today.
@amiablePeace77, it was the day i soloed a plane for the first time.
@purpleTree4652 congratulations on soloing a plane. that is a great accomplishment.
The best days of my life was when my two children were born. No doubt.
@spectacularSunrise7824 wow that must be incredible to see your child born from your body. And to see them grow up.
@soulsings
Instant incredible love as soon as they were put on my chest both times. It is amazing seeing them grow up to become independant loving individuals.
@spectacularSunrise7824 what a miracle
The best day of my life was a short boat trip to an island. The water was really stormy and most people were below deck hugging the floor but it didn;t bother me. I just stayed on the top deck watching the crashing waves and just felt alive and at peace.
@gentleLand5245 wow that sounds like an incredible experience with that connection with nature.
I don't know, but kast week I was at my work and when my supervisors came and found me they told me that me and my team were the only ones at work. Today my team leader called me before I get dressed to go to work and told me that there is nothing to do as there is a machine that stopped working, so our work has stopped, but when a supervisor came today and didn't find us they called me and now I am waiting for troubles.
Hi.
I was maybe 13 years old. I think I spent the night at a friends house. I see myself just dancing down the hillside from her house i summer, just happy to be alive!
@Helgafy
That must have been a very happy time in your life. Are you still in contact with your friend?
@amiablePeace77
Hi amiablePeace77.
I'm 67 now. I'm living in Norway. My friend married (and divorced ha-ha-nothing to laugh at - but that is how life goes for many) to an American man and I visited them in California. We had contact a few times until I got 27 and then our lives split apart. She came back to Norway and is remarried to a nice man after I heard.
With love from Helga
