Question: What important event in your life will you always remember!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The birth of our daughter!. There was an almost total eclipse of the sun on that morning!. Everything looked golden including the yellow daffodils!. We had the birth at our home!. Before she was completely born, with just her head out, she looked around and said "La, la"!. A few minutes after she was born and wrapped up on a blanket, I caught the placenta and took it out to the back yard and buried it near to the cherry tree!. A magical day!. That was in 1979!.

She called me earlier today as she was standing in line waiting to check in her luggage to board a plane for Europe to wish me a happy father's day!. She is flying as I type on an eleven hours flight to a conference and a mini-vacation in Norway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This question has no acceptable answer!. To "always remember" means philosophically that at no time in the future could you forget; however, one never knows what the future holds!. One could get dementia or senility in old age and completely forget what they were sure they would never forget!. Thus, this question speaks only to what one would WANT to remember NOT what he/she WILL remember because the future is always uncertain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Forgetting is much easier!. Keeping the past alive in our minds is part of the process of suffering!.

I find occasionally people will retain a happy memory, but typically they keep suffering memories alive and on a regular basis!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
