Carl. no need to apologize.

Life is not all cherries, as you know too well. Calling this thread a downer was an error on the other guys part, especially if he truly liked Biker's quote. This thread and the transparency you show us allows us to care for someone else besides ourselves (you, and the others who chimed in) , while reminding us that most of our "problems" are nothing compared to the real losses and tragedies in life.

In your hard times, you give us a priceless gift. Many thanks. My Nancy and I are thinking of you often.

Probably when my steady GF and I broke up. Now this was a serious thing, the kind where I saw us getting married someday after college or something. That busted me up something awful, I still carry baggage from that.

2nd place:
Last Monday. My dog of 12 years died of liver failure, probably cause by cancer, or perhaps cirrhosis (sp?). RIP...I'm still getting over that one too, although it's only been 4 days.

I couldnt agree more. I have experianced loss and helplessness before, but cant put togather my worst day as of right now. My grandfather passed away last year, but I was not all that close to my grandfather (sorry to say a very hard and distant man, all around anus). I cant really pick out a truely "worst" day, I just take everything in stride I guess. To everyone who has lost a child or a spouse, my heart goes out to you guys, my daughter will make a month old day after tommorrow and I couldnt imagine living without her or my wife. Dont apologize for anything Carl, everyone can post whatever is on their mind, if the thread brings him down, he dosent have to read it. Hang in there buddy, still sending them up for you and Nancy.

I'd hardly call it an error sir... I did feel low after reading it, and I did enjoy the quote.

Carl, there is no reason to apologize. It's a bit of a reality check to those who have it good, and don't reflect on what they have enough. As I said, best wishes to those dealing with this adversity.

Easter Sunday 2003. The police came to our home at 9:00 am to tell us our 27 year old son had been killed in a motor vehicle accident two hours earlier. I had to drive to my daughter's home to break the news to her also.

My wife and I will never be the same. I have not gotten over it and never will!Oddly, today, April 6th, would have been his 30th birthday. We were at his grave today to wish him a happy birthday.

My worst day was the morning of December 13,2001, around 2 AM when I received a call from my oldest brother telling me our brother had been murdered the previous evening. I have never felt so lost and helpless in my life as did that morning. Thus far, no arrests.

I don't see this thread as a bummer, but rather it has helped put things into perspective for me a small amount. Most of the time I can deal with this tragedy, but there are times I am still overcome with grief, and self pity.

The day that my fiancee got murdered out in New York. 7-21-02...Had it not been for my best friend who later became my wife, I would have never made it. As it was I almost didn't.

Maybe I will start a best day thread.
