I've got three and they are in the order they define me 1) The day I accepted Jesus Christ as my God and Savior 2) My wedding day to my wife 3) The day my son was born -Fiz
parents divorce day i met my future wife (wedding day doesn't count, as we'd been living together for the past 5 years) last day i saw my mum alive (lung cancer y'know... passed 10 days after my last visit)
Yep, that was quite a life changing moment. I remember at the time thinking I was gone, then all I could here was you shouting as I was lying about 20 feet away on the grass banking, realising I was alive was my life changing moment. And meeting my dad after nearly 30 years.
I think I'm about to have mine: My father-in-law passed away about 18 months ago; my wife and I have spent that time renovating his house at weekends. The work has finally paid off, and we're about to sell. The money we get from the sale will enable us to clear all our debts (mortgage etc.) and move away from the rat race that is London. Knowing that whatever we earn, once we deduct utilities, council tax etc. is pure profit: that will be a life changing event The sad thing is that my father-in-law had to die to enable us to achieve this vision
When horrible childhood memories finally hit me when I was about 14, and me thinking 'my god, that actually happened to me', it was a horrible time and I had to go and see a councillor and everything, it basically split my whole family up. My nana and uncle both tried to overdose, my mum and dad split up and then he attacked her and she had an injunction put on him, my brother stole money and got addicted to drugs and then I split with my first love after 2 years, then I found out he had been sleeping with someone else. Ohhh the joys, anyways, 5 years later and things are a lot better, unbelieveably my parents are back together like nothing ever happened.
Don't think I've had the one yet although I've had a few: > The day I was so upset I nearly drove into a tree at 60mph. > The time when I was feeling very depressed that MrDT via msn convinced me to get help. > The day that my father pretty much ended our relationship.
The only thing which really springs to mind is the day I went for an interview at the Army careers office. It basically set it concrete what I want to do with my life and gives me something to aim for over the next 3 years while at uni.
Blimey, some of you have had it bad, the worse I've come to in terms of family is that 3 of my great uncles have died of cancer (one died last week), my great-grandmother died of cancer, and my mum (other side of the family) had cancer, but it was found so early that it cleard. Made me think how likely I am to have cancer.
this is a really moving thread a lot of you guys have been through a lot, i think it's great that it can be shared here on a modding forum. BIG BIT HUG
My first time seeing a computer. I remember it was at my Dads work and it looked like something out of Space 1999. I remember the green glow from the screen and it number crunching stuff out. Knew I wanted to have go on one of them, and have spent the best part of my life in front of one either for work or pleasure. My second, is finding out my GF was pregnant. Wow, it was'nt expected and so the full rush of emotions that went through me. My third is my wedding day, I had awful trouble trying on rings (I didnt wear any before) and when it came time for my wife to put the ring on my finger I whispered 'it burns it burns' which set her off in a fit of giggles.
i've had life changing moments but they don't stick... all i can properly think of now are times i think i could die or when my ass is going to be kicked for doing something bad... edit: being dodgy on my moped has crapped me up a bit. done some dodgy skids on grass with people on the back.. and iv'e come off in the rain proberly leaning into the cornor too much. i also think i should have got a geared crosser now which crosses my mind on ebay all too much. also theres the goods and bads which can kinda change you like gf, school, freinds, money, hobbies but usually in a different type of way to what i think we are ment to say. also exam results can make you regret what you have done.
it was prob the disbelief that i had actually pulled someone...and she had feelings for me....ive been rejected most of my life so getting a girl was a HUGE change.....then a year later she broke my heart!!!!..... man...i never knew i had emotions like i did during that time.
16, party, LOTS of alcohol. when the party was ending people went inside to sleep away from the barn. i was unconcious so obviously had no idea people had left. a mate stayed there and slept in the barn to make sure i was ok. i woke up early, he said "you alright mate", i said yes and left. then he called me on my way home and told me he woke up while i was vomiting in my sleep. i was choking on it. he turned me over and cleaned me up after. i had no idea any of this had happened, and how close i came to death. shook me up a bit. didnt drink for a few years after that. back to normal drinking habbits now though
well since i am 14 and not much happened yet... I say... actully making chick freinds... got more social and stuff... I was mostly a loner and stuff 2 years back...
My life-changing moment happened the day that I realised I would have a life-changing moment. It changed my life. I now blissfully wait for the future when my life will change.
Not in any particular order as its hard to order them into more/less life changing. My Mom dying in my teenage years Marrying my Wife Having Children Successfully beating severe depression But like the murphys, Im not bitter. In fact since I recovered from depression I have a whole new outlook on life and things keep getting better and better. Its amazing how a postive outlook can change things around you.
Funny, from the threads you've posted, everything that happens to you is life-changing. If it is YOUR life its changing.
