When I was 7 yrs. old, my Dad swam out to the reef with me on his back and dove down below the reef. It was the most unbelievable sight I ever seen. The reef was alive with all sorts of colorful seaweeds and colorful fishes. The water sparkled with rays of sunlight. It was breathtaking and like a dream you wish would never go away. This memory was be always be with me forever and ever. I was so happy. I am now 61 yrs. old and sadly now the same reef is dead, but I still love the ocean and thankful for the time I had with my Dad.

That was one of the most lovely things I've read... My happiest moment would have to be when my son was born and I held him and kissed him. Also, the months following, watching him grow and get bigger and learn. He's now 15 and the most wonderful son a mom could ask for.

Life is all about creating great memories and it is all we really have. The ocean is beautiful and it is good that you can still remember how great these memories are.

It's nice to hear such a touching moment, and how symbolic it is for you. You can find happiness in simple things which is really important and I think some people don't even realize what makes them happy sometimes. For example, one of the happiest moments for me was cooking with my grandma, she would teach me little family secrets and it was just fun to learn from her.
People should also try to be positive and think of everything they are grateful for everyday because everyone is special.

I'm only 17 now, but the happiest moment of my life so far was just over a year and a half ago, when my niece was born. She is the most beautiful baby girl I've ever seen and now she's living with us, and I love her as if she were my own daughter. Every moment with her now is the new happiest moment of my life

Young Senior's memory is really beautiful.
Made me sad for some reason. I have a lot of little happy moments in life but they are from so far off in time (maybe this is part of the reason why happy moments can be so sad).
I remember a few years back slunking nervously up to my brother, his girlfriend, and my beautiful nephew after a long absence for a meetup, not anticipating a positive reception. (FYI - I always seem to be dreading doing everything and everyone seems to be dreading seeing me - what a shame)
And then seeing my little nephew's face light up to see me. It made me feel special...and positive. There was only a positive history between me and the little guy. I wish there were more moments like this for everyone - where we are just happy to see each other and not dreading this that and the other things. How beautiful life would be if we are all glad to see each other and we could go about our business just being.
I would have to say I have a lot of happiest moments that I treasure. Every time I get to spend one on one time with my 27 yo son is the happiest for me. I treasure every minute. He lives in another state now and they are few and far between. I have a great picture of his smile on my phone I look at almost everyday! Cathy
That's a beautiful memory!
Sadly I can't remember any moment with my dad that I would call The Happiest.
But since I became a mother I'm thankful for every single day and try to give my kids their Happiest moment day after day.
i dont know but i miss my mom so much i guess my happiest times in life were any time spent with her. i miss her so much. she past young, she was 67 and i was 33. i am now 38 and really miss her and am finally getting it. so many things i never got until i lost her. i didnt know what real grief was, how hard life really is, how alone we really are.
Mine was finding out i was pregnant after a long time trying, then having my child, seeing her for the first time and watching her grow feeling very proud i had finally created this beautiful little bundle
Mine was when I gave birth to each my children and the nurse put my child on my chest right away. That was amazing!

Same here. Most significant change in my life. I knew it would be special but had no idea how much my brain chemistry would change after delivering. It's a special moment for us.
