Best and worst lifes moments?

I can only imagine how tough that would be. I feel for you.
I never realized I'd feel such fierce love for my niece and nephews, and I'm guessing that that's only a fraction of what parents must feel for their kids. I've always thought that the most vulnerable relationship is that of being a parent, because of the depth of love and hope invested in children, who are so often vulnerable to the world and all the things that can go wrong -- even with small things, having to let kids make their own mistakes, for example.
All I know is that I will always be ready to put myself in the line of danger just to protect them. I have so many times, from getting scalded, burned, bruised, drowned, bumped, wounded, and sometimes caught on a verbal fight. Probably that's the reason why I'm still single. Probably this is my blessing. Probably this is what we really call Love.
I'm sorry your family had to endure that.

That is definitely the worst moment is life, to loose a child. It is against nature, parents are there to protect and to heal and to "catch the bullet for their kids".
Sons and daughters are supposed to bury their parents one day (when they are already long grown up) and not vice versa.
A nephew of mine died in a motorbike-accident, being in his early 20th. However I think it is not the same loosing a nephew or an own child. The pain, the suffering, the grief a parent feels with a kid dying/ lost kid cannot be imagined by someone not in the same position, I imagine...
Just thinking that one of my 4 (healthy) children could have an accident or happen to get seriously sick (without me being able to help them!) drives me nuts.

The best moment in life was the birth of my youngest daughter, as I was present and the first to hold her (after the Doc).
Next best moments are when I can sooth her pain by simply taking her into my arm, singing a pain-reliever-song, or bringing her to bed, reading always the same bedtime story and singing the same good-night-song.

Another bad moment (far not reaching the worst, of course) is when I have to leave for another business trip, kissing all of them good bye, hoping to be back shortly but knowing that the return-flight is not fixed...

The worst moment of my life was having to sign the paperwork to have my Mother taken off life-support. She had a Meningitis infection and was gone 24 hours after She was admitted to the hospital. Meningitis is rarely fatal,but acts very quickly in those few cases that are.

worse: being fired from my previous workplace.
Can't imagine doing that Sci...Meningitis can hit people quickly, unfortunately. RIP to your mom. <3
