Do you have a picture of the best moment of your life?
That's the question Sports Illustrated writer Richard Deitsch posed to his 85,000 Twitter followers on Monday night a day after Andy Murray won the men's singles final match at Wimbledon.
Deitsch could not have anticipated the powerful responses his followers would tweet back to him. Graduations, weddings, babies, and cross-generational moments are just some of the pictures that Deitsch began retweeting onto his own page.
UT San Diego's Matthew T. Hall rounded up some of the best pictures tweeted out by Deitsch's followers early this morning. Deitsch has continued to tweet out more photos as he has received them throughout the day, and we've picked some of our own favorites.
This is Twitter at its finest.
