What was the most significant day of your life? What happened that day? How did it change you?

Without a doubt, the day I met the woman who would one day become my Bride and Better Half! Every aspect of my life changed (for the better) on that day and every day since.

Nothing has affected me so profoundly as the birth of my first child. The instant she was placed into my arms, I realized the depth of the love my parents have for me and got a glimpse of the unfathomable love of our Creator. At that moment, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was something I would lay down my life for without hesitation.

Definitely the day I got married.....a day I truthfully can say I never thought I would see. That day my life changed so much more for the better. Unfortunately, coming in second was the morning I came home from work and found her on the floor, dead. But the ways I changed when I met her still, in most cases, live on.

Maybe this is why I didn't have anything significant enough I thought I could put down. None of those things have happened to me yet.

Probably the day that I was accepted to college. Attending university has affected me in countless ways and helped shape who I am.
I have not had children, but I would definitely not count my wedding day as the most significant. Maybe the day I realized that I was in love with the man who would be my husband, and that he was in love with me. My wedding day was just a benchmark, really. It didn't change anything. Falling in love did that.

I have had several very significant days; each one has changed me in one way or another. (Some for the better, some for the worse)

One of the better days was the day my bride agreed to marry me. I was on top of the world that day ! Emotionally and physically, I my bride agreed to marry me at Windows on the World restaurant. That day changed my outlook of life for the better.

One of the bad days was October 23, 1983. I lost many close friends that day and it caused me to not become very close to any people since then. Since that day I have yet to make a real new “trusted friend”. I refuse to allow myself to become too close to anyone new. (Good thing my bride was a very close friend of mine at the time otherwise I probably still would be single)

Another bad day was September 11, 2001. While we were not very close for a few years before that day, (Casual contact) I lost a friend who was with me that horrible day back in 1983. He survived the first time, but not the second. After attending many funerals and memorial services I withdrew into my cave. I alienated myself from most of the close friends I had remaining. It took me quite a while to poke my head out of my cave and look around, but I remain pretty much to myself. Several of my old childhood friends have tried to get back into my life, but I push them away to this day. I do not feel the need or desire to be close to them anymore.

I can't really pinpoint one specific day that was more significant than another. Every day changes me. The most cliche answers would be my wedding day, the days my children were born, etc.

Honestly though, in recent history, the most significant day for me was probably the day Ed died. He was a friend/hospice patient. And I think that was the day my heart left hospice. I am still not over it, and I still cry when I hear My Immortal by Evenescence. I can still feel the pain of filling out the death certificate of a friend and amazing person.
