Happy or sad, but just nostalgic. Post my own later. Happy days

My dad holding me when I was about 17 or 18. He was never a touchy feely person but I had been attacked by my boyfriend and run home. It was the only time I remember him putting his arms around me! Julie xxx

The first Christmas i remember Harry,in elmhurst in 1945,when the raf laid on a visit from santa via a wellington bomber at fradley,still clear in my mind so many years later.Fred.

Happy. 1) The birth of my son Harry on Christmas Day 2003. I didn't get a christmas that year. But he was the best present I could ever have had. Sad 2) Wishing I could of had my daughter just a few days earlier, then my mum would have seen her.(she died two days after she was born, was in a coma, never got to see her, although, I went to her bed in the hospital with her, to show her her first grandaughter, then she passed away the next morning) catherine x

I'd have kissed my Dad 'Goodbye' as we left my parent's home that August day 1974. He died suddenly a couple of days later. They had visitors, ....brother in law was driving us in his car and our usual farewell was missed that day as everyone chatted as we left. Gwyn

Just after the war. Manchester opera house; La boheme. A young man and his girl friend sat together. I think theatres wre a little colder in those days. Both knew the story and just before the most well known aria , their hands were deliberately set one inch apart. 'Your tiny hand is frozen , come let me warm it into life' Suffice to say, they both lived happy ever after. Happy days

Boxing Days at my late Nannies house, wonderful times. Donna

Finding out i was pregnant in 1999, after being told i could not have children. Then him being born, healthy! xxxxxx

Would be invidious to mention anybody, but thanks to each of you. Some lovely or moving memories. Happy days Very best wishes

That's lovely Harry, Saw Swan Lake at Manchester opera house and Frankie Howard in A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum, Hilarious lol! My moment would have to be the night dad died, I was sent out to try and find a phone box to call for an ambulance and mum & my brother stayed with him..........he spoke his last words to them and I never got to say goodbye............regret it so much, but at least I know from mum what he said.

The day my Bride walk down the aisle to me God bless her xxxxxxxxx

And God bless Howie as well and the rest of you lovely people. Happ days

A family holiday with my parents and brother. We spent most of the time together. Sadly they've all died but I would love to relive those days.

When my 4th (and last) child was born. It was 5.40pm on a lovely June afternoon and the sun was streaming in the very large window in the delivery room. He was placed in my arms as he was born, he looked at me, looked towards the light, then back at me with wide open blue eyes and held my gaze. I just looked at him and it was as if he was the one I was waiting for, almost as if we had met before! I can't really explain how I felt. I love all 4 of my children equally, but there was something special about this one's birth - it was a truly magical moment and it will stay with me forever. Now he's a strapping 21 year old and still has gorgeous blue eyes! Sue xx

sitting on my daddy's knee getting a cuddle every time I went to visit!! Giving him a hug just before I left for the Sahara - I wouldn't have let go!! xx

Sue, that's such a lovely feeling isn't it? Felt like that myself with my third and last.....the first two had piercing blue eyes like their dad but the third one had my eyes hazel and red hair too like me........I thought yes!!! this ones mine lol!!! Lin

Oh Jean........ I can only try to imagine the look on your face and the emotion you felt...........how wonderful. Lin

The moment that I found out that I was pregnant after being told that I would never conceive. Also my mum has dementia and I would love to go back to one of our really long talks where she gave me loads of advice

Oh Harry , that is so lovely... and my favourite opera. I think it is the story more than the music, although that is great. Deanna X Can't think at the moment. ;-0)
