There is hardly a person on the planet who can boast of a hassle-free life. This is why the moments when happiness overwhelms us are even more precious. The heroes of this article shared the stories that describe the moments like this.

  • I'll never forget the time when my parents got me a puppy. I got back from school, and they told me that they have kept my toys in another room and to go get them. Got a nice surprise when I got to the room. Happiest moment of my life. Miss him. © Xe137eX / Reddit
  • My son fell asleep in my arms in the afternoon. I sat down on the couch thinking about taking him to bed, and at the same time, I didn't feel like taking him to bed. His head is on my shoulder, I can hear him breathing...
    And I have soup cooking on the stove, and my hair hasn't been brushed since morning. But how pleasant are these cuddles, his warmth, feeling his breath! This is little big happiness! © ****.Zhizn / Pikabu
  • The happiest I've been after a total surprise was when my boyfriend took me to the beach and said he had the day planned for us. We walked to the top of a hill, and he guided me to a sign with my name on it. It had pictures of us and a note that said, "Read Me." I read the note.
    At the end, it instructed me to turn around. I did, and I saw him on his knee, with our moms coming up behind him. He said, "I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" © AlcatK / Reddit
  • Many women I know complain that their men don't spoil them with gifts, don't give them flowers and jewelry, rarely take them to restaurants. My boss even kicked out her husband because of this! What can I say?
    My significant other doesn't give me flowers, and gives presents only on special occasions. But! Yesterday he met me near our house, I was tired and hungry after work, and with a wide smile he took out a fresh, hot pizza out of his bag. And you know, at that moment there was no one happier than me, proudly walking with this pizza in my hands. © ******Petrovna / Pikabu
  • I had been trying to get my baby niece to say "uncle" for like a year and gave up and one day she woke up, and I went to get her, and we had a short conversation.
    — Did you have a good sleep?
    — Yes.
    — Are you hungry?
    — Yes.
    — Want goldfish?
    — Yes.
    So she grabbed one finger, and we walked to the kitchen and my mom tried hugging her, and she turned away and screamed "Uncle," and I was very happy, and we watched Hamilton while eating goldfish. © NovelProfessional767 / Reddit
  • As a child, I often visited my grandmother. There was a bakery that baked wheat pan bread. And the kids from the village and I experienced a simple and at the same time unimaginable feeling of happiness, when we were eating a loaf of white, still warm bread and drinking lemonade.
    Today I bought the same loaf of bread and mentally found myself in a place where I felt so good - in my childhood. The bread is exactly the same as it was then. Thank you, baker! © rusmizus / Pikabu
  • I haven't been skinny for a long time. Hell, I'm fat, and lately I've gotten even fatter. And 3 weeks ago, I started doing morning exercises again, counting calories and walking 10,000 steps a day.
    And bingo, today I squatted down and managed to tie my shoelaces without getting out of breath! And that was probably the happiest day of the year. © t.dzen / Pikabu
  • My new friends threw me a surprise birthday party a few years ago. I moved far away from home and was working with these 2 kind girls. My birthday came around, and they completely surprised me by getting a hotel and decorating it, and convincing 2 of my best friends from home to come see me. I only knew those girls for a few months, but they were a whole lifetime's worth of kind to me. © freezethawcycle / Reddit
  • When I was a kid, I was a total loser. I mean, I believed I was a total loser. I failed at baseball, mostly failed at friends, school.
    I started acting in high school. When I was a sophomore, I got the lead role in a play called Harvey. I worked very hard on it. Very hard. I had trouble doing it.
    My teacher was always trying to get me to be better, to think less and to act more, all that kind of stuff. I finally had a breakthrough I guess, and worked it like crazy. The first night, when I came out for curtain call, I got a cheer, a roar so loud it felt like I was going to go deaf.
    I realized I was crying. I realized for the first time in my life I was proud of myself. © SmurfyX / Reddit
  • In January, my beloved woman, with whom I had been for 4 years, left me. I was very upset, was left with 2 cats and no hope for the future. And I am already 51.
    I went on vacation. There was live music and dancing at the tourist center. One woman suddenly invited me. I danced with her, and it was the first time I danced in 15 years.
    And now we are dating and going on vacation together. I have already ordered rings and will ask her to marry me. I just wanted to share my happiness. © Artnikolaich / Pikabu
  • Used to work at a hospital as a nursing assistant. We had a woman in her mid-twenties who came in seizing and totally unresponsive, just out of the blue, no medical history of anything neurological whatsoever. She ended up in a coma for 3 weeks and things were not looking good at all - not positive, but I'm pretty sure there was talk of signing a DNR.
    Then one morning I come in for my shift, and she's awake and alert. I never heard the official diagnosis, but it looked like a heavy dose of one of the drugs we were giving her finally kicked in. The look on her mom's face that morning, and for the next week as she continued to improve, was incredible. So, so relieved and happy to have her girl back. She ended up going home, too. © Unknown author / Reddit
  • My son has started opening the door when there's a knock on it. If it's the bathroom, and he's inside, he opens it himself. If there's a knock on the front door, he just runs to the hallway (I don't trust him with the keys yet).
    Maybe these are little things, but for a 9-year-old boy who has been deaf since birth, who can barely see, and we've been spending most of his life in rehabilitation centers, this is significant progress. I'm sitting here crying. Knock on all doors, they'll finally open to you. I believe in it. © SmolaAl / Pikabu
  • My happiest moment was hearing the sound of my first child cry after the C-section. It had been an unusual pregnancy with major complications that the doctors couldn't figure out and could have killed us both. This moment is very closely followed by the sound of my second child crying after being born. © baconwastaken / Reddit
  • My husband started coming late from work, constant excuses. I felt offended, but I also work and look after the house, so there was no time to be sad. On my birthday, I set the table and sat down to wait for him. The doorbell rang, I opened the door, and there was a huge box!
    My husband was sitting inside with a purebred Labrador and a teddy bear. It turned out that he found out from my mother about what I loved as a child and what I dreamed about. He spent a very long time filling out the documents for the dog and looking for a puppy of the right color. © Podslushano / Ideer
  • There are only 2 of us, my son and I, and he recently turned 18, but already earns a little money. I've never noticed it, but it turns out he secretly puts money in my wallet, so to speak "saving it from emptiness." Sometimes large amounts. When it dawned on me, I sat down and cried from sadness and happiness. © Podslushano / Ideer
  • I'm a skydive instructor. Some people who skydive for the first time tend to do really weird things. I remember one lady. After landing, she didn't return for a long time.
    We rushed after her. We arrived and saw the dome. She was lying there and twitching. We ran up, and she was there making an angel in the mud as if in snow, very happy. We laughed for a long time. © Podslushano / Ideer
