Why Can't We Just Rewind?

If you could rewind your life back ten years what is one moment you would like to re-live?

My brother and I were having this conversation earlier today, what would you want to go back and experience again if you got the chance. My answer came to me without a second of hesitation. I would go back to Walt Disney World in Epcot and re-live seeing the Tapestry of Nations millennium parade. In 2000 my family went to Disney World for the first time, and the first night seeing this parade I fell so in love with it, so much that I convinced my dad to take me back to see it again the next night. The music, the colors, the dancing, the joy... ahhh no greater feeling. Being back in Disney this past year, doing the College Program made me miss the trip I had taken with my family so much, I hated being there without them, it just didn't feel right. I wanted to share every moment of everything I was doing with them. The very first night I was allowed to go into the parks with my ID I went to Epcot to see the firework show, Illuminations. At the end of Illuminations, music began to play that I thought I recognized from the parade back to 2000 so I immediately called my dad to tell him about it and I ended up bursting out in tears because I just wanted to be sharing it with him so badly. If I got the chance to re-live any moment it would definitely be that parade, I want to re-live those feelings of being filled and overflowing with child-like joy.
