If you could live in one moment from your life for eternity what would it be?

Say if heaven or the afterlife, whatever you want to call it turns out to be just one moment from your life where you just felt content, peacefully, euphoric etc...what would that moment be?

For me it would be a tie between a couple things but something that just clears my mind and grounds me and makes me feel like nothing else matters is putting one of my son's to bed. Hes under 2 years old and ill cradle him in my arms, in a really comfortable little rocking chair and just rock back and forth. Its dark and theres usually running water or rain playing from a sound machine and theres something so euphoric about. You really dont care about anything else at all in the world. No matter how bad my day was or how crazy and chaotic he was all day I forget all of it. I could probably ramble on and out without ever finding the right words to describe it but anyone whos done it probably has felt it too. What about any of you guys, it could be anything from the hottest woman you ever slept with to your wedding day or a vacation etc...lets hear it
 
Is first 3 plate bench an irresponsible answer?
Not my answer just a question, I refuse to respond affirmatively due to commitment issues in case this turns out to be a real thing on judgement day.
Your story is touching and closer to my real answer but it would be a hell of a hard thing to whittle down to one moment.
 
Its kind of like one of those secret things in life that is a gift in just how good it feels but no one self seeking would ever expect it or think it would be there. Kind of like giving to charity or helping people it fills holes in your soul that you wouldnt have expected. So much so that I usually forget due to the distractions of the day and lots of times try negotiating with my wife to not have to put him to sleep. But everytime I do I remember how awesome it is.
 
When I met my wife. We met at a work function (very large organization and we lived 5 hours from each other), just chatted about fuck all, spent the night sitting in the cool September breeze until the early morning talking to her.
