A new Twitter trend where people posted photographs of the happiest moments in their lives stormed the microblogging network, after a writer for Sports Illustrated posted a photo of brothers celebrating Yale University's Championship, and asked people to send such pictures.

According to CBS News, Richard Deitsch asked his 87,000 followers to post a photograph of the single best moment in one's life and within minutes came a rush of best moments of parents with a newborn, a lover asking for a yes, and homecomings from the danger of war.

The report said that dozens and then hundreds of photos streamed in, and the writer described it as a fountain of humanity, adding that never in his wildest dreams had he expected hundreds of people sending him the incredibly intimate photos.

 

Other photos included athletes finally crossing the finish line, patients who had just beaten cancer and babies battling for life in intensive cancer.
