Best Moments of your life

[Barley]

What was the most memorable, most fantastic or best moment of your life.

For me I have a choice of about three, but at the top I would put completing the London Marathon in 2000. It gave me such a sense of achievement (I broke down in tears after I crossed the line), although it took me nearly 5 hours this was my Olympic Gold medal, especially given that 5 years before I weighed over 21 stone.

Other memorable events include watching the eclipse in Cornwall in err was it 1999 (was such an awesome spectacle, especially watching this enormas shadow coming towards you across the see at 1000mph then everything decending into darkness). Another was Manumission in Ibiza, yea I was off my head on smarties but the atmosphere and rush of that place was amazing…..

On the downside the worst was my dads death in 1995. He was the best man in the world and if I become half the man he was I will have achieved a lot.

In the future I have an ambition to run an ultra marathon like Baywater or do a Triathalon........

I've had many good things in my life, but the birth of my daughter is the absolute number 1.


Summer, for all you do, I sure love you.

Same thing with the birth of my daughter. Such a wonderful thing, it still overshadows all the shlt that followed.

The last day I saw my ex in China. We had never actually admitted to our feelings for eachother because we new the day would come. I would leave and probably never come back. So we didn't want to get too deep only to end up hurting eachother.

So on my last day in Hangzhou, she came with me to the train station, where I would leave for the Pudong Airport in Shanghai. The light sprinkles of rain seemed to resist a torrent just as we tried to hold in our tears.

As we sat in the station, there wasn't much to say. We had spent the previous day together and it seemed that all the emotion building up since then would pour out if we dared open our mouths. So we sat, occasionally staring at eachother trying to make small talk, trying to comfort the other. Finally, she reached into her pocket and pulled out her bracelet. She handed it to me. "Your husband?" I replied with apprehension. "I love you more than my husband."

As is common with young lovers, silly traditions emerge from silly situations. For some reason, she was bent on writing in my Chinese-English dictionary and I was bent on preventing her. So she would retort that I liked my dictionary more than her, "You love that book so much, it is your wife." Well, somehow her bracelet became her husband and so that is how I referred to it.

On the train she sat with me the few minutes we had left. We held eachother in a deep and knowingly final embrace. The tears no longer held back. Time is never long enough, and she had to leave. She quickly ran to the side of the train and found my window. Pressing her hand against the glass, I pressed mine against hers. And we stayed there until the train began to move. Like out of some old romance movie, she ran after it. But she couldn't keep up. Far too soon, gone.


I can still smell her perfume on her bracelet.

That sounds awfully bittersweet DaShi.

EDIT: Bugger, well I spoke too soon. Oh well.
