best and worse moment of your life

Willow · 10-14-2006, 07:33 PM

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!!

Omigosh!!! I do not know how you got through that! Do you have your kids with you now? (sorry if I am prying!)

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.

Oh havent we all at some time or other?? I dunno....It's all about lifes choices. I realized sooo long ago that for every action, there's a reaction. One can only do the best they can at the moment.

Thanks Janet!
