Perfect moments

The perfect key lime pie, that first kiss, a night out with your buddies. Give us a list of perfect moments. Ones that have happened, and ones you've dreamed of.

# My first qualification to the nationals in 100 breast stroke. It was magical. Everybody had told me I would have to wait one more year. I was too young. I was too far away from the qualification time. My starts were too slow and my finishes wasn't strong enough. I wasn't enough for qualifying. I was also you and naive, a few years later I would realize they were right, but not this time. I had practiced. Stayed behind on every practice, worked my butt off when the others had been playing around. It was my time. And I did it. I did the perfect race. That I totally failed in the nationals doesn't matter, I made it there. It was magical at the moment. I haven't been that happy ever again. Sports are funny that way, it's just a game, really, but I got to experience one moment of nothing but true happiness. And I am grateful for that.

# Since the almost end of the world all I can think of is what is missing. How my family and most of my friends are just gone. I have dreams, a perfect moment, that my dad walks out of the mist side by side with my best friend Luke. It would blow everything I've ever experienced away. I would give anything to see them both just one last time.
