What is your fondest memory of all time?

What if you could somehow go back in time to a special moment, where would you go and why? I was eleven years old and fancied roaming the green hills of my hometown, Anchovy. We would often steal away for hours to swim in the springs, cut cane in the ravines or just pick fruits. One day we went strolling as usual, when we decided to race back home, each taking a different shortcut. I got lost. To say the worst, I wound up in the middle of a well-kept field of Marijuana. This was an illegal activity and the owners always make sure that no one enters and if they do, never live to tell the cops. I was about middle way down when they spotted me. Two were armed with machetes, but the most dangerous was armed with a riffle. I ran as fast as I could, but even so, I knew that I was running into the gunslinger. The other option was to stop and be chopped to pieces, or so I imagined. When I came in full view of the trigger finger, about fifty meters, he called out to others asking where 'did the little boy go'. I was right there. It became clear to me, that he could not see me, I ducked behind a tree until he walked passed me. I thought he would have heard my heart, drumming away with fear. I told my grandmother what had transpired when I got home, and she told me not to tell anyone, lest word got out to the wrong ears. Plus, they would not believe me anyway. I have never felt more closer to God. It was such a special emotion that nothing on earth compares. I would like to feel it again. What is your moment, the time machine is ready, tell me about it.

Wow, that was scary! One of my happiest moments was when our first baby was born. I just couldn't praise and thank God enough for our healthy baby boy.
