Name something that's happened...

[Virgo10]

that you never thought you'd live to see.

I never thought I'd see the Berlin wall come down. I also never thought I'd get to see a really great comet like I did when Hale/Bopp showed up a few years ago.

For some reason I never thought I'd get to see the Pacific Ocean. When I finally got to Oregon some time ago, I cried when I got to walk in the water.

But the number one thing I never thought I'd live to see was the Boston Red Sox winning the world series. Even two weeks later I'm still walking around saying I can't believe it!

Oh Roberta - this is so up my alley right now! I really didn't think I would live to see the Pacific Ocean either - and I'm actually going to see it in March (God willing).

I'll probably be just like you - I'll cry for sure. And then I'll laugh, and then I'll cry some more. I have a thing for Oceans. Even though I've only had personal experience with one so far.

Ditto for the Red Sox.
I never thought I'd see a private company with a real space program.

Most definitely the fall of the Soviet Union (from within, no less)

something I read in a letter last year, and unfortunately even now I'm not sure I can believe it... something I'd hoped for for at least 20 years

I never, ever thought I would see the United States attacked as we were on September 11, 2001. It's been 3 years and I still can't believe it happened.

End of Cold War and dissolution of the Soviet Union.

I agree!
