Sashajade, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. We just never know how long we'll have them.
I'd have to say the best moment was when I was told we had a son.... The worst was when my father died, 33 years ago...still hurts like it just happened.

I lost my dad to a heart attack while he was on vacation in Traverse City, Michigan. He had a fishing pole in his hand at the time and it was real quick, so he didn't suffer at all. I miss him so much, I was a daddy's girl.
I lost my sister in 1980 from cancer, 3 days before her 40th birthday. We were just getting to know he other as adults. The worst thing about getting older is losing family and friends.

I would have to say the best moment in my life is when I became a Mom...
The worse moment is when my cousin (we were very very close) had a massive heart attack and died on her job,and left a 10 yr old and 3 yr old...It has been 17 yrs and I still have a hard time with it.

My best moments were when I married my husband, when my kids were born, and when my grandchildren were born.
For my worst moment I have to explain a few things first. To get to our house from town you have to cross a low-water bridge. When it rains the water goes up and down, sometimes even covering the whole bridge and we have to drive a different way to get home. One night the river was up and we had to come home the long way. Well, as we did people and cars were everywhere. Not too long after we got home we got a call and a friend of ours' son had been smarting around and fell in above the bridge. The water had tried to pull him through the bridge but his buddies didn't want him to go through and tried to hold on to him. It's a long story to go into, but eventually they let him go (I think that if they would have let him go earlier he would have been fine but they didn't know what was under the bridge and were afraid he would get stuck.) Groups of people searched all night hoping that he had crawled out of the river and was disoriented and lost in the trees. The next morning even more people were there searching but my husband, son, son-in-law, father-in-law, and some friends were in the river searching. My SIL finally felt something and a boat and body bag were brought in and the boy who drowned was loaded on the boat and brought to bank. I happened to be there when his body was brought up out of the river and was close to his parents and their family during that time. I have NEVER been in such a difficult situation. The boy was only 15 and was a great kid. Our whole community suffered with his death. For us it was especially hard because we still drive over the bridge to get to town.

The best moment in my life was marrying my husband and having a family with him.
There are several moments that are about equal to the worst. The first was when my mom's boyfriend molested me when I was 7. It has taken me until this past year to fully talk about the things that actually happend. Second, when the same jerk set fire to the duplex we lived in killing our neighbors. He is now in prison. Third, my mother in law dying and my not getting to see her before she died. And I would say the absolute worst moment was getting the phone call telling me my father had been killed in a car wreck. I hadn't seen him in twelve years and he didn't even know he was a grandpa. |

The best moments in my life were my wedding day and the birth of my two boys There have been lots of good moments but those three are the best!!
The worst - I lost my father after a lengthy illness almost 22 years ago and wasn't there with my mom when he died. We had an ice storm come through and with roads closed, I couldn't make the 50 mile drive to be with her

Gosh, this is a hard thread to answer. First I want to say I am sorry for everyone's worst day. Too bad all days could not be our best day.
Id have to say my worst probably was the day I left my ex-husband. I was moving out of state and two of my children were to come with me once I furnished my "new home". Anyway, when I pulled out of my drive way my three kids were just standing there crying. All I could do was watch them in my rear view mirrow as I drove away. That day ripped my heart out and that image still haunts me to this day. My best day....Those are all the days I am not having to relive my worst day!!

No need to apologize for prying. I NEVER did get through that, I've just learned to deal with it. After awhile you find pleasure in the pain as it becomes the same. You'd think after awhile one would become numb but it never happens. I will take my choices to my grave. No, my kids are not with me now. I had my daughter for awhile but for her happiness and not my own I let her move back as this was her wish. HUGE MISTAKE!! I should have been selfish. But, I can't go back in time. Now two of the three are adults and live on their own. My daughter was to move here this past summer but she changed her mind. I could write a novel on this entire situation. There are no words to describe this story that relives itself constantly in my heart and mind.

Sounds like you've been through so much emotional turmoil....I just want you to know though, that I hope everyday is bigger and brighter for you from now on. Also, you just may have a novel there....something to think about...

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.

My best moment was marrying my husband. My worst was trying to have a baby for so long and when I found out I was pregnant I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Also my father died before he ever got a chance to meet my kids. |
