Best Time(s) of Your Life |
Summer of 1984 - a "rites of passage" time & I became a Christian.
1990 - got married.
The 90's for the births of the children,
especially our youngest - he was born early on Christmas Eve and we got him home by teatime - what a Christmas present!
Hearts winning the Scottish Cup in 1998 - euphoria!
