[Tink]

My best days were obviously similar to what everyone elses' were... the birth of my kids and grandkids, etc..

Worst days are hard to choose. I'd have to choose a worst period of time:
Fall of 1991.

1. came home to find my home (which hubby and I built with our own 2 hands over a 3 yr time) burned to the ground and everything we owned gone.
2. got a call from social services informing us that our 6 yr old had been molested on the school bus by a 17 yr old.
3.Father In law died of septic shock.
4. My father died of a heart attack.
5. a family friend was killed in a freak accident.

I seriously was so traumatized that I quit answering my phone, afraid I'd just get more bad news. These things all happened between Sept 23 and Dec 4.
