The most important day of life....

So what is the most important day of life? A thought that occurred to me as I await the arrival of our child about 5000 miles away from where my wife is....is becoming the parent the most important day of my life? Emotionally thinking, I might be tempted to say yes - although my wife would certainly disagree and classify it plainly as the most painful day of her life!! If I am not emotionally speaking, then I really do not know... The day I was born was also an important day after all, as all other potential candidates days for being the most important days of my life certainly depended on this day to happen. On the other hand, given the kind of ass I have been in life, my parents may not think of that day as being terribly important - may be they think it was just terrible :). The day I scraped through my graduation was also quite important day at that point in time .... certainly the most important one since I managed to "pass" an exam which I had excelled in failing.....Was the day I married the most important? My wife will generally disagree, except of course when I forget the anniversary  - I have certainly learned it the hard way - hell hath no fury like a wife catching you missing the anniversary.......I am still trying to figure out the most important day as I welcome our young one to this world.....
