Happiest , too personal, saddest ditto,

but the snapshot is easy , me and mum in LA standing beside the white cadillac we were just going for a ride by the Pacific in. Mum was fit and well and we were both really happy :))

Saddest- glancing in the rear vision mirror of my car,catching the puzzled look on my Dad's face as he stood forlornly
in the nursing home carpark as I drove away.He was in the middle stages of Alzheimer's disease,and couldn't understand why he couldn't go back home to live with Mum.

Happiest-my wedding day,when my OH gave my hand a comforting squeeze when we were standing at the altar.

Another happy one- pride,and the feeling of relief after a long and exhausting labour,that our first child was healthy,well,and had all her fingers and toes.

Snapshot-watching Grandpa (OH's father) demonstrating to our son how to make his new toy car work-we actually do have a photo of it.

My saddest moment was not my parents' deaths (though they tore me apart).

It was the day we left our youngest at her University accommodation. I can see her now in her 'big' slippers and waving as the automatic glass doors slid shut. I can hardly see the screen for tears even now and it was ten years ago!

My Saddest,was my Dads funeral .It was the first funeral I had ever been to and I was 30.I had to be pulled out of the car to get into the church.
My Happiest.Holding my daughter ,and realising she was my first blood relative(I knew) and she was MINE.
Memorable ..I think the same as the Happiest.
Snapshot is a photo of me holding my sister(adopted) I was sat on a chair in the garden aged nearly 5,and she was just a few months old,screaming her head off lol

Do not all the memories even the sad ones of loved ones past make you smile and remember happier times?
Have you smiled by remembering your memories tonight

If you have then I am glad

My saddest memory.........Watching my dad say goodbye to my lovely mum in the Hospice.

Happiest....peeping around the hospital curtain and seeing my daughter holding my first grandchild.

Sorry, but today it has to be the saddest......my Dad's birthday and 4 years ago he was in hospital, never to recover after a bad stroke.......it was the last time I was to see him smile.....

Happiest, oh so many most of them to do with the children and family.....

Lots of memorable ones as well......too many to say.....

One minute.....then it must be the last time I saw my Mum, gave her a big hug before coming home and saying we loved each other......she was great....

Saddest memories thinking of my deceased brothers.

Gladdest memories, thinking of my grandchildren.

Snapshot, my second wedding.

Most memorable? Can't remember!!

Sue I was nay I am proud of that photo. I can understand your sad time.
Shazz good for you I have known many happy parents after IVF ( having been there myself, but not as a parent) I do know the agony you go through to get that bundle of joy

saddest moment was when i was 11 and my grandmother died, she was like a second mother to me.
Proudest moment was having my son after having had fertility treatment.
I couldnt believe he was mine!

You must have felt very proud, Uzzi.

My saddest memory - getting a phone call to say my father had passed away in the nursing home. This was 20 minutes after they had rung to say he was going to hospital. I was so angry that he just slipped away without waiting for me but when I saw him I just wanted him back.

my proudest and saddest is me dad in cap and gown collecting his degree after yrs doing open uni. Pride is obvious, sad because I wasn't there it's just a photo I have.

Seeing my son's face when he held his son and the look on my daughter's face when she held her long awaited first baby. I couldn't believe my babies had babies:-))

My son aged 3, running down the path with a big grin on his face, and clutching the spoon I had been mixing cake with. He did so enjoy the cake mix!
