The Moment you are conceived,
The moment you breathe your first breath,
The moment you take your first step,
The moment you say your first word,
The moment you loose your first tooth,
The moment you can ride your bike for the first time; without training wheels,
The moment you step on the school bus for the first time,
The moment you make your first “A”,
The moment you win your first game,
The moment you graduate from high school,
The moment you graduate from college,
The moment you love someone so dearly, you couldn‘t live without them,
The moment you are engaged,
The moment you are married,
The moment you experience your first kiss at your wedding,
The moment you say good-bye to your parents,
The moment you become parents for the first time,
The moment you get on the plane for the first time,
The moment you become grandparents,
The moment you kiss your grandchildren,
The moment you breath your last breath, Will that be the moment you know you changed the world forever?
