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.

Best day(s) of my life:
1. February 4, 2005 -- my husband asked me to marry him
2. August 6, 2005 -- my wedding day

Worst day of my life:
July 31, 2004 -- my dad suffered a massive heart attack and I was in Washington, DC working. I left my job to come home and be with my family. But, I wish I was at home in the first place to be with them. Luckily, my dad survived after having 2 stents put in his heart.

I'm so sorry for everyone's worsts.

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.

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!

This thread was a tough one for me to read. I am soo sorry for eveyone's worst days. I wish we only had all Best days, but.........sigh...

My best day is when I married my hubby! With out him, I would not have been able to get thru all my worst days.

But one of my worst days happened only when I was 14, so I didnt even know my hubby then. But I came home from school and my Mom was sleeping on the couch....She woke up and asked me if I could find a ride to my swim practice, Because she was not feeling well, and so I did. I Said good bye and see ya when I get home. About 3 hours later, O got home, and she was asleep on the couch, so I didn't want to bother her, and I let her sleep. That was about 8pm. My Dad got home from working afternoon turn, and he came running up to get me saying he thinks Mom is dead, and she did end up passing away in her sleep, she was only 44. It is going to be 15 years already, but it does still seem like it was only yesterday it all happened.

To this day, I still think to myself, if only I had tried to wake her, maybe her life could have been saved, but there is no going back in time.

Oh Mandy, I am so horribly sorry for the loss of your Mom. I truly am speechless and my heart really goes out to you now.

Thanks Sheryl.

It just seems like we all have soo much heartache in our lives. But I have to firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and that the Man Above only gives us what he knows we can handle. And I just always have to remember to look to my faith when I am having a bad day and remember how many good things there still are in life!

Mandy, I am at a loss of what to say! What a tragic circumstance for a 14 year old to have to go through. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, but you seem to me to be such a wonderful, caring person. I think your mother would be very proud.
