Easily finding out that my dad passed away.

I was 5 years old & it was overnight early on a Sunday morning, an accident while doing church-related service. I remember the entire next week like it was yesterday, and it’s had a profound impact on nearly every aspect of my life (good & bad, but mostly good) ever since.
