First of all apologies for not posting earlier Momo because like some folks I was really having trouble with singling out any particular day of my life so far objectively as the best, since there are many memorable ones and many which hopefully will come later on because of life's major milestones that I have yet to accomplish. Perhaps I was over thinking it or maybe too lazy or both so with that in mind the best day till now would have to be my graduation day for my Masters which really felt like a significant achievement having done it all on my own living abroad. It wasn't easy because at the Masters level teachers and professors expect you to know most of it before hand which is quite fair given that we already have a base with the bachelor's degree. But it had been atleast more then a couple of years since I had actually done any real studying so getting back into it felt like an overwhelming ordeal at first. There were many moments during where I felt like I couldn't do it but I persevered because of all the support and faith my parents had put in me to achieve this goal.

I dedicated my thesis firstly to my parents without whom any of it would have never ever have been possible. So on the day when I finally graduated I was really happy to have my mother and sister accompany me to celebrate the occasion. Unfortunately, my Dad couldn't make it but he sent his best wishes and a wonderful graduation present, a watch which I wear proudly even though it isn't quite fashionable anymore to wear those. All in all it was a wonderfully memorable day and I will cherish the memories forever. Thinking about it always makes me extremely thankful for all the love and support I receive from my family for which I can never truly repay them but hopefully will be able to take care of them like they have done for me up till now. :)

I would also like to thank you very much for creating this nice thread Momo and everyone else for sharing their wonderful stories here. Also I am not in for the giveaway so please don't try to find me anything even though I know you can't help it. ;)

Just thought it was worth bumping this to make sure people saw how generous Momo has been. Thanks again for Block Story:)

Nice thread!

Just wanted to say that I am still enjoying your present to me immensely, Momo1991 :D

I'd had Tiny Bang Story recommended to me before, and they were right, it's highly enjoyable... peaceful music, nice puzzles, and exploration, oh yeah! I like this one too much to rush it

STG83's story reminded me of another happy yet bittersweet day - my niece graduated from medical school last year. Sadly her mother could not be there since she died of cancer (after a three year struggle) right after my niece left for college. So sitting there in the audience, after traveling many miles to attend, was one of those special days when your heart swells with tremendous pride but your heart breaks a little too....

The best day? The day I got married, 10th of January, 2009.

Also, not in :)
