The Best Time of My Life
By Joe Kemp

    It was June 15, and in two days I would be turning thirty.  I was
insecure about entering a new decade of my life and feared that my
best years were now behind me.

      My daily routine included going to the gym for a workout before
going to work.  Every morning I would see my friend Nicholas at the
gym.  He was seventy-nine years old and in terrific shape.  As I
greeted Nicholas on this particular day, he noticed I wasn't full of
my usual vitality and asked if there was anything wrong.  I told him I
was feeling anxious about turning thirty.  I wondered how I would look
back on my life once I reached Nicholas's age, so I asked him, "What
was the best time of your life?"

      Without hesitation, Nicholas replied, "Well, Joe, this is my
philosophical answer to your philosophical question:

      "When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of
for me and I was nurtured by my parents, that was the best time of my
life.

      "When I was going to school and learning the things I know
today, that was the best time of my life.

      "When I got my first job and had responsibilities and got paid
for my efforts, that was the best time of my life.

      "When I met my wife and fell in love, that was the best time of
my life.

      "The Second World War came, and my wife and I had to flee
Austria to save our lives.  When we were together and safe on a ship
bound for North America, that was the best time of my life.

      "When we came to Canada and started a family, that was the best
time of my life.

      "When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that
was the best time of my life.

      "And now, Joe, I am seventy-nine years old.  I have my health, I
feel good and I am in love with my wife just as I was when we first
met.  This is the best time of my life."

best time of my life is when i met my first crush i thought i was in cloud nine

I think the best times of my life just passed me by. Suddenly it all dawns on me that I can never go back like before and won't be able to do the stuff I always did during my time there anymore. I'm getting sentimental. :'(

best time in my life iswhen i know that a lot of people love me

It's now and i plan to make it till tomorrow. i hope she thinks the same way :-X
