Each of us comes to a point in life that is the hardest for us...

what was that point for you? I know for me it was the transition from pre-teen to teenager. We left the US and lived in Thailand for a time. I started the transition from pre-teen to teen, in another country. By the time we were back in the US, I suspect my poor parents were fit to be tied. I was a wreck. I've had times that made me sad, but that for me was the transition I can always look at and say, I made it. How about you, what was the moment in life that was the hardest for you?

The last down turn or financial crisis 2007 was a tough one for me, I lost a lot and this came at a time when all my 3 children were in private school, it took years for me to fully recover a few years after this I found mylot one lonely night looking for a way to augment my income thru the internet, it barely contributed but atleast I found new friends and a way to amuse me

That was a difficult time I agree. Painful and difficult! It sounds like you were able to turn things around...

@DocAndersen I'm fully recovered now but more important were the lessons learned, I am now more prepared in case something like it does occur again.

The hardest time, there were several but a few stand out more Han orders, the winter, February.19.1997 when family friends were murdered certainly was that, dealing with health issues, loosing several friends to sickness, and more but one of the hardest and still is is the murder of our friends Neal a forty four year old Father and Brendan his twelve year old son!

@DocAndersen It was horrible but yes there were good memories, about a year prior Neal had given me a laptop that at the time valued at about 5k knowing that if I were going to be an author I would need a computer! I have memories of Brendan as well, he was. a brilliant young man who eenat the age of two could have carry on an adult conversation he wa brilliant but at Twelve that brilliance wa stolen from the world!
