THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE GBE #8 The best day of my life was the day I gave birth to my first child. She was a difficult pregnancy, but an amazingly easy birth. ONE pain and there she was. Oh wait, the best day in my life was when I gave life to my second child, my son. The first (and only, it turns out) boy in my side of the family. Lots of boys on Dad’s side. Or maybe it was when I met and very shortly after fell in love with Mike. My soul mate, 11 years my senior and nothing like any man I had been with before. He was, however, very much like my Dad. Dad passed at age 56 and I met Mike a few years later. I always wished they had known each other and now, well, I suspect they do. Heaven, I’m sure, is the great reunion spot. Ya know, it was the best day in my life when we married. I inherited his kids. That was pretty cool. Definitely the best day. Then again, the best day in my life happened when our first grandchild was born, and again when the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and the eighth came along! OH and my daughter inherited 2 girls with her second marriage, our first granddaughter and bonus granddaughter have given us 3 great granddaughters, best days in my life. It was most assuredly the best day in my life when we finely got Momma moved to her new apartment 2 miles from our house. That was a dream, long time dreamed, come true. I think, and certainly at that time, each new fur baby adoption or actual birth, created the best day of my life. Now in retirement and alone, they are my life. One needing lots of special care and one just here to love me. Pup is elderly and needy, but doesn’t like me because I do all the needy stuff, sigh. Cat loves me and makes me laugh. Cat also checks on pup from time to time, I’m convinced he’s looking for his heartbeat. Who knows? I realize right now, right here…I have had far more BEST days than WORSE days and that this not-so-perfect life I’m living now, is still likely to hold at least ONE more BEST day before my time is up. Hope you're having a BEST day, right now.
