What constitutes a defining moment?
Something that is etched in your memory for life?
Something so impactful it changes your life forever?
Or perhaps something that makes you realise who you are and what's your story?
A defining moment to me is ...
Sleeping atop a cold mountain unsheltered in a thunderstorm,
It's walking for days with no rest with people so close they're practically family,
It's capturing the objective after a fierce fire fight,
It's watching the sunrise knowing the mission was accomplished,
It's throwing my peak cap to the skies, drunken with emotions and exuberance,
Above all it's breaking the limits,
pushing myself past what I thought I was,
making my parents proud,
forging a brotherhood so strong,
and achieving.
This one's for my late grandfather.
Rest in peace.
