What day would you like to re-live?
Mine is June 19, 1984-I visited Liverpool and it was magical (mystery tour) from start to finish.

What's yours?

1. My wedding day. (for starters).
I'd gladly live that day again almost forever!

Another day I'd like again is witnessing the birth of my son but skipping the part where they rush him to the neonatal intensive care unit and then what happened thereafter.

Mark.

3. My dear Maccagirl...
I could not possibly choose...

I've been incredibly lucky to have many, many great days...

This might sound as though I'm bragging, but I assure you that's not my intent...

I've had a long life, and there've been some incredible highs as well as lows...

Yours sounds quite wonderful!

:hug:

4. June 10, 1996. The day before mom died.
Put off having a true heart to heart because there was going to be tomorrow.

Regards, Mugu

7. Interesting question. Relive exactly as it was, or relive so you could have changed something?
One day I can remember to relive exactly as it was would be Oktoberfest last year. Awesome day.

I'm on the right.

8. March 25, 1995
We were invited to Washington by my parents, both still alive,
to spend some time with Bill Clinton and Al Gore. My wife was
the prettiest woman in the room, and there was plenty of competition.
My sister sang a tribute to my dad, and I made friends with the
finest foreign service officer of ANY country I had ever met (he
was from Canada, then serving as Ambassador to the USA). Hillary
left a video she had made called "Hillary Gump," which had everyone
literally laughing so hard, tears were running down their faces--even
Newt Gingrich!

We were all flying higher than a kite, and never wanted to come down.

Don't remember the exact day, but the days before I married my ex-wife. That way, I could stop the whole thing before it started...

16. I know that feeling, except it would be not marrying my ex husband
it was a very unhappy marriage, from a seemingly very good dating relationship. HOwever If I had not married him, the likelihood that I would have met the current spouse was about zero so I endured much to gain more.

Plus the second husband and I have a wonderful daughter

17. glad it worked out for you
and me as well. I got remarried and have a wonderful daughter as well who graduates kindergarten next week.

With my ex, we had a good dating relationship and then a very good engagement, but something happened a month or two before we officially tied the knot - maybe we both got cold feet? By the night before the wedding, I was pretty sure it would not work out, but wrote it off as nerves/cold feet and went ahead anyways... and, after a good honeymoon, we had a few bumps right away and the whole thing went downhill fast. I'm just happy we didn't have kids. With me, I'd say it was due to a lack of relationship experience, while with her, it was probably a lack of maturity and having no clue about money/finances.

14. When I first met my ex
It was strange and scary. I went to his apartment and I thought he was a serial killer and my mom had been right all along. The thing was I didn't care -I knew from the moment I saw him I was in love. Then we made love for 12 hours.

Khash.

18. don't remember the EXACT day
was in July 1982.Met the most amazing girl.Beyond anything I ever dreamed of.We met when my brother and his wife set a trip to a now closed place called lakeside park in southwest virginia.We met there and KNEW we were right for each other,A year later we were forced apart over economy and family situations.I moved from here in southwest Virginia to Detroit.

Twenty Years later I was in a failed Marriage and got a call out of the blue from a voice I thought I would never hear again.She was also in a failed marriage and had hired a PI to find me.

4 HAPPILY MARRIED years later I can look back there and definitely say that day at the park was the best day of my life

21. Somehow...
I thought you'd say that. And I was thinking the same thing about my mother. Only the date would have been April 18, 1985. My heart aches for you this morning, Laura. And I want to, so badly, go back into time & help my mother too. But you and I both know we can't. And it wasn't your fault... and it wasn't my fault. It's just so sad. :cry: :hug:

33. In some ways...
It is my fault. For not seeing things as they were happening so awfully fast. There is one thing that I could have done that would have kept this all from happening.

22. July 23, 2000
it was the day before my dad passed away.

I was reading to him in his hospital room. When I had to leave, I whispered in his ear that I loved him. And for the very first time in my life, he told me he loved me too.

All the misgiving I had about him, all the anger I had toward him, vanished.

Life is so short.

27. The weekend of June 23, 1986
The weekend of June 23, 1986.

The young lady I was going out with at the time invited me to meet with and stay at her parents with her for that weekend as a birthday present.

Her parents lived in a small, TX town (Honey Grove-- how's that for an endearing town name). Their house was a hundred plus year old church they had renovated. In the living room was the original church pipe organ her dad tinkered with as a hobby. There was also a hot tub in a corner of the living room.

The parents trusted her, and graciously went to bed early that first night so that she and I could share a bottle of champaign in the hot tub while watching the movie 'Cocoon' (how odd the things we remember versus the things we forget).

They had a stable and barn in the back as the family raised Arabian horses as a hobby, and I rode a horse for the first time in my life.

Had I been a better boyfriend-- who knows, she might very well be Mrs. Lantern Waste today. But, being the scrub that I was, I simply walked away from one of the better blessings presented to me in my life.

Stupid, stupid me.

But it was still the best weekend of my life... :)

28. Wandering around Venice all day in June 2003
Like Peggy, I've had a lot of amazing days, many travel-related. And a few X-rated days from college which are better left undescribed.

The day to re-live was the last of a 4-day trip to Venice. For 3 days, I had to "work" (which involved never being more than 1/2 hour from the hotel where I was conducting interviews with European hematologists - a limitation which didn't exactly suck).

But the last day I didn't have to work, and following the advice of fellow Quaker, I avoided the long lines to look at San Marco, and instead went to early morning Sunday Mass at San Marco instead. Spent the rest of the morning wandering Venice, and then had a late lunch at a restaurant in the Cannaregio that had two tables out front. I was "trapped" there with a good book (about Venice) by a thunderstorm for an hour or two, so I "had" to order a carafe of wine (they wouldn't sell me a single glass, but would sell a carafe). Ran back through the rain to the vaporetto, and went back to take a nap in my room. Around 5, I realized I could sleep when I'm dead, and spent the rest of the long June evening wandering the tourist-free Castello area, listening to the people who lived there prepare for the week. Finally sat down for pizza at a cafe outside the Armory, and on my way back to my hotel, wandered past a church fair which featured local folk singers entertaining the crowd in what I can only assume was dialect. Sat in the deep window of my hotel with another glass of wine, and listened to the music from the fair, which you could hear from blocks away. I have never been so tired or so happy or so enchanted.

30. march 10th, 2003.
The day of the shootout at my house. i should have filed for divorce that day but though I could still make it work even though I hated the stepson that caused it. My life has been total hell since then. A trail, a lawsuit for 2 million dollars by the guy who tried to shoot me. Divorce. Ugliness.
