When was the best moment of your life?

Almost not opening this thread.

here is a story that happened to me yesterday. It is hands down the best thing that's ever happened in my life. no question.
let me take you back to February 2009... I had moved back to Ontario, had just finished school, broken up with my girlfriend, and started all over; in a new province, and in a new town, with a new job.
Upon settling into this new place of living, I kept to myself, and didn't really know anyone, so i decided to get a cat. I went to the local veterinarian's office and sure enough, I found a kitten to adopt.
Fast forward about 9 months later, she went missing. She was an indoor and outdoor cat, but I had trained her properly. I had her on a leash with a 150 feet of rope so she could wander about my yard and do whatever she wanted, but no matter what, she couldnt go anywhere (I got her a small dog harness and it fit her pretty snug). Eventually, she proved herself to know where home is, and I allowed her to venture where she wished (I even installed a doggy door so she could come and go as she pleased)
This cat was amazing, she was smart, affectionate, playful, and not that clingy. If any of you guys are cat people, you know what I mean. She was just a great companion for me.
Anyways, im getting side tracked.. she went missing on me. I live in the country, so I figured she had been eaten by a coyote, a bird got her, she got hit by a car, whatever. i presumed the worst, and was absolutely devastated.
Recently, I adopted a little dog from an old man going into an old age home. I took my new dog into the vet to get her checked out (shes 12) , and Im waiting at the counter to pay my bill, when I overheard a man state that he had found a cat, and he had been keeping it at his house the past 2 weeks and couldn't look after it, yada, yada, yada.. I Didn't think much of it. Until I heard a familiar squeak from the "pet taxi" this man was holding (its like a portable kennel thing). i peered inside, and there was my Lilly, almost 3 years old now, clawing at the door.
Its amazing that she recognized me after all this time, and I couldn't be happier that we are re united.
It really is fate and is by far the best thing in my life thats ever happened to me. If you guys want to troll me for that, thats fine, but this cat meant the world to me and I thought she was gone forever. Its like it came back from the dead -

The best moment in my life will be when I am completely free of debt so I can do whatever I want and not have that type of shit on my mind. I figure I'm about a year away. Being young sucks if you're making bad life decisions.

Beating Super Mario Bros. in 6min7sec in college. There is no possible way it can be beaten faster, I'm convinced. No power ups, never stopped moving, took all warps in a running position, and ran under Bowser without slowing down.
Funny because I had a beer with the guy I was roommates with the other day and we were talking about it. He had 6min10sec for about a week before I beat it. -

I'm sure it will be when my first born is here in a few months, but for now, I'd have to say capping the state championship game with a "nail in the coffin" dunk my sophomore year of HS.
We also won my senior year (and won baseball my sophomore year), but to get an and-1 dunk to cap the state title game was one of the most surreal moments of my life. Also gave coach a chance to sub all the seniors in for the last :30 or so, which was nice. -
Didn't seem like it at the time bc of my stage fright, but opening for the Plain White T's and Kevin Devine at the Continental in NYC was an amazing feeling during and afterwards.
