Many precious moments like holding our baby daughter for the first time.

Telling my mum she was now a grandma when daughter had her first baby

The most precious though must be getting the phone call 3 years ago from our daughter saying still all clear and now pronounced cured after a 5 year battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma

Difficult Uzzi. There are 'precious' moments and there are 'wow' moments.

Precious to me the day I walked down the aisle to join my lovely OH almost 54 years ago. The days when both our children were born and I held them for the first time. The day I held our first little grandchild, a tiny 5 pound boy born 6 weeks early on holiday in Jersey, he was so beautiful and so perfect and I bonded with him as if he were my own child. Then, of course precious too were the other four grandchildren when I first held them, especially the last one, the long awaited girl. Another precious moment when our first grandson was married. And the (so far) icing on the cake the first time I held our gorgeous little great grandchild. And more recently at this child's first birthday party the time he looked at me and pointed and gave a big smile (see avatar). And I realise that, without the first precious moment the others would not have happened.

Wow moments have been the first time I had my breath taken away with my first sight of the Grand Canyon and also Niagra Falls. Impossible to describe the feeling, both so wonderful and (to use a modern term) awesome.
Another wow moment was outside our cottage on holiday in the wilds of Fife at about midnight, no light pollution and we could see stars for miles, a huge canopy of them. And another like moment in Lanzarote with a beautiful sky of stars.
Sunsets are always wow moments for me and there have been many beautiful ones.
And the other late afternoon oh called me outside to see a perfect beautiful rainbow.
So my wow moments are all of nature. I shall be thinking of others now. :-)

The last time I saw my mother, who was in a nursing home after a long illness, and who had drifted back to her childhood days, for quite a long time she really did not know who I was. However on the last time I visited her, she hugged me, gave me a kiss, and said you have been a good son James look after yourself - I left the nursing home as it was coming up to their meal time, got home and about half hour later I got a phone call from the nursing home saying she had passed away <3 :-(

So many to chose from.

The moment I held my children for the 1st time.
Seeing my grandchildren born
Having the chance to say "Love you Dad" before he died.

One of my most precious moments was just last week. We were sitting at a restaurant on a beach on Zakynthos at sunset when a loggerhead turtle came out of the sea, dug a nest and laid her eggs right in front of us. She then ambled back to the sea. We were just a few feet away from her. It was our wedding anniversary too so that made it extra-special.

because I know this is hard will allow several if different

Mine are the day my OH said I do. ..note not the proposal.
The last conversation I had with my Dad
, we didn't know it was the last but we still said love you, love you more.
The day I found my Minx a bedraggled, tick ridden, 9week old pup on deaths door and she so cautiously put her head out to be stroked (that broke my heart)
