The Best Moment of My Life

As I was breastfeeding my boy on the bed while keeping an eye on my daughter splashing about in the bathroom, I glanced at a portrait of hubby & me on our wedding day hanging on the wall and I thought to myself that was the best moment in my life.

Then I asked myself was that really the best moment in my life?

My mind drifted to back when I was a little girl, at the time we were in Minneapolis and I was straddling those McDonalds' character rides with my brother and other friends and back then I thought that was the best moment in my life.

Then I remembered this one time when I was younger, just watching my parents getting ready for their big night out to celebrate their wedding anniversary, just the two of them. My father was never more handsome and my mom was absolutely gorgeous. They looked so happy and so much in love, and even then I thought that was the best moment in my life.

I went on to recall the time I was 14 and had lost a whopping 14kg. My father was so excited for me and took me shopping. He was the one going crazy in the store telling me to try this dress and that. I was so happy to see him so proud of me, and I thought that was the best moment in my life.

Then memories of watching my mom smile and joke with me for the first time after almost a year of watching her grieve over the death of my father and I thought that was the best moment of my life.

I remember feeling proud that I got exceptionally good result for SPM despite my partying ways and I thought that was the best moment in my life.

I remember falling in love for the first time and at that time could see me spending the rest of my life with him and I thought that was the best moment in my life.

The image of me donning my stewardess uniform and accepting my cabin crew certificate upon course completion came into my mind and I thought that was the best moment of my life.

I recalled the moment I realized that I was in love with this man who was destined to be my husband and I thought that was the best moment in my life.

Then I saw myself cycling in beautiful Salzburg with the mountains as my backdrop and back then I thought that was the best moment in my life.

The day of my graduation while I was receiving congratulatory hugs & kisses from my husband, my mother & my step father and secretly knowing that I had a two month baby inside of me, I thought that was the best moment in my life.

And now, as I watch my son feed, my daughter happily splashing away and squealing in delight in the bathroom and the portrait of both hubby and me beaming on our wedding day and I'm thinking, this is definitely the best moment in my life.
