“Got my gram a new apron for her 90th birthday.”
She said, “yes”!

“Got our granny a spinner for her 85th anniversary.”
“Always wanted my own pet and I finally did it. Finally became the proud owner of this beautiful little guy yesterday. One of the happiest days of my life so far.”
Sometimes happiness is simply enjoying some harmful-but very tasty- fast food.

“The bar I was in last night had a goat in the outside area. Never have you seen so much joy shared between two bearded men.”
“My daughter loves swinging.”
“After beating cancer and having back surgery, my mom is finally able to go on roller coasters again pain-free. She was even able to talk my dad into going with her — that’s him sitting to her left.”
“I just submitted my last final paper for my Master’s degree! ”
“After years of working my way up the career ladder as a taxi driver, parachute jump pilot, flight instructor, and business jet pilot, I achieved my long-term goal and became an airline pilot on Airbus A320!”
“It seems that my girlfriend likes shooting a lot.”
“Heard cheering from the men’s washroom at the bar, walked in and stumbled upon this moment of pure joy. Men never grow old.”
“I went to a paint night with my mom the other night. We had such a good time, and it was the happiest I’d been in a long time.”
“Our daughter was visited by a therapy dog that helps patients to fight stress before her surgery ... The surgery was successful.”

Bonus: a child first hearing his mother’s voice.
