[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 593917, member: 2211"] Life is full of all those happiest and saddest moments, isn't it? Ugh, choosing which to write about, well, hmmmm.... Happiest moments would include the times when my girls were tiny and we would pack lunches and go to the park or to feed the ducks at the pond. Taking them to our beach in search of cool rocks and seashells. Baking cookies with them. Seeing the look of wonder on their faces the first time we made homemade playdough. Our bedtime ritual of baths and reading books together while snuggling on my bed when they were little. Listening to difficult child teach easy child how to spell a word (difficult child is younger). Lying on the grass and watching clouds go by together and lying on the grass and watching the stars at night. Camping trips. Graduation days. Teaching them to drive. Celebrating birthdays, first periods, and first jobs. difficult child telling me that she understands how difficult it is to be a step parent now and that she thinks H was a really good dad after all, hahhaaa. Saddest/worst: The day we found out that difficult child was lured and kidnapped by a cretin on the Internet and sexually assaulted at 15. That was the all time worst experience as a parent. The aftermath felt worse at times as well. But here we are, okay. Hmmm, the time easy child perpetuated a school rumor about the assistant principal...god that was horrible. Spending time in the ER with difficult child for either allergic reactions of suicidal thoughts. easy child going away to college...I know it was a good thing, but I struggled with her absence. easy child rolling her car into a ravine early one morning on her way to work at the bakery. My heart was in my throat the entire time. Like a scene from a bad Lifetime movie, I dashed from my car and ran to her, so grateful she was in one piece. When easy child went to live at caspers parents house-that broke my heart. She was so cold and detached, I thought I'd lost her forever. [/QUOTE]
