Best day - April 23, 1983 - Got married.
Worst day July 4, 1978 - Lost an eye to a bottle rocket (fireworks), just after HS graduation. Screwed up my plans to go into the service, which dramatically altered the course of my life.

[Edit] Funny thing is, my mom always told me I was going to shoot my eye out if I didn't quit being so reckless.

The best day of my life was when I was 15yrs old and met the love of my life who I married when I was 20yrs old.

The worst day was the day my Dad passed away.
 
Best day - when I got full legal custody of my kids. They never didn't live with me, but that day felt way, way better than I thought it would.

Worst day is when I broke my back and lacerated my liver. I was 38, on my way to do some scuba diving, fell about 35 feet off a rocky shelf onto a rocky shore. I think I was lucky to be wearing my wet suit already bc I think it's what held me together till they got me to the ambulance.
(These kind of injuries come back to haunt you.)
 
Best day when my daughter was born, worst when my mum had a stroke, badly affecting her brain, knowing she was ‘gone’ and never coming back was harder to bear than if she had passed away which, mercifully she did five years later ...
 
Best day: There were 5 best days because I have 5 children! 💕

Worst day: it was actually 6 months worth of days: When my heavily addicted son went missing and I spent each day thinking he was dead, and dreading the call that would confirm that. 🥺

(He’s clean now, in recovery for the last 6 years and doing extremely well)
 
Best day was the birth of my daughter...

Worst day ( and there have been many very , very bad days.. but the only one I would be willing to share in public).. is the day my mum took her own life when I was just 18 years old, and my youngest sibling was 10.. there was no-one left for us except our abuser 🥺
 
@hollydolly I am so sorry 😞 I’ve mentioned here before that I was suicidal during the worst of my time with my abuser husband. The ONLY thing that stayed my hand was the knowledge that I would be abandoning them to their Dad. At times though it was a huge struggle to maintain.

I don’t know your Mom’s story but if she lived with an abuser then I have some understanding of what her mindset must have been.

Hugs to you my friend. ❤️
 
The best day of my life when I got my 1st paying job in '77,moved out of the house into my own apt
The worst day happen 6 months ago, In July ongoing budget cuts were happening at my church.Our church has been closed since last March,Lenore our wonderful graphic designer/go to person lost her job after 20 yrs.I worked with her in the business office as a volunteer for 12 yrs . I was emotionally upset&angry sent a nasty email to our minister basically told him off.I was in a difficult situation since I had been close friends with him&his family for over 20 yrs .My close friend,Marcia who is very involved at church kept telling me it wasn't his fault On Thanksgiving Day I sent him a detailed email saying I was no longer angry at him,apologized for what I said,hoped we could become friends again. He told me this was the best Thanksgiving gift ever,Yes we are still friends
