“What was the best day of your life?”

Rita BuettnerMay 17, 20233 min read
The other day we were driving together as a family, talking the way you do when you’re in the car. “Mom,” one of our sons asked, “what was the best day of your life?” Wow. I couldn’t answer. How could I pick just one? There was the day my husband asked me to marry him. […]
