Surviving past 50.

I just got a little emotional at that like some big girly man.

Can't explain why. +1's

Just plain surviving is no mean feet it seems sometimes.

To be honest, my biggest achievement is getting together with my girlfriend, and keeping the relationship for almost 2 years. :)


^ That, and either learning Cliffs of Dover or Technical Difficulties on guitar.

My fingers hurt like helllllllllllll.

It may be lame but, my son is my biggest accomplishment.  Everyday i'm grateful he hasn't turned out like me.




Learning how to wakeboard/ski.

How did i know you'd be one of the first people to mention their children?

My biggest acheivement so far? I've had a couple, but the biggest of the lot would have to be surviving four years in a long-distance relationship, and its now ticked over into the sixth year, but no longer long distance :P

Being born was pretty good.
Surviving open lung surgery at 13 months old was pretty big.
Still being alive now is pretty big as well.

umm

at the age of 17, sucessfully leading grandma around the better part of italy for a whole month without losing her once!

getting to the stage of telling people "I can play guitar" as opposed to "I own a guitar"

But probably my biggest achievement is my motorcycling, getting my full lisence, leading 20+ riders of mixed skills and bikes regularly and getting good feedback while having the time of my life on a crotch rocket.

also no.

actually that was exactly 4 years ago to the day...

commemoration ceremony for the 60th anniversary of the battle of monte cassino where my grandad fought, was shot up and awarded an MM for his actions.

if you scroll to the bottom of the main page you'll see why it's quite a significant day for me.

26th battalion, don't know what squad.

from what I gather the officer in command was killed and my grandads squad was surrounded by germans just north of cassino (although one report says it happened in cassino) so he threw grenades at them at a risk to his life, he was shot 3 times (leg, arm and torso) if an english officer had witnessed it I'm told he would've received a victoria cross, but I gather that happened quite often, acts of heroism went un noticed simply cause an english offier was not present.

regardless of the award I'm still proud of him and think of him very much on this day.

he died peacefully in his sleep 9 months after I was born when one of the arteries in his stomach (damaged from the wounds he recieved) let go, I was the only member of my generation to meet him.
