One of the things we need to do is

I'm excited because we're friends. So we're going to have a great conversation.

So much of our life in the formation of it is before age 10. So if we go birth to 10, those are really rough years for me, birth to 10. Because what took place in our lives is that we were struggling financially, struggling with leadership in the house where my parents were not in a great relationship. And so my parents were raising five children with a lot of instability in their own lives.

Then the fact of being more lower income that added to the equation. But in the midst of that, I had a very good attitude and I had a very good sense of humor.

I definitely felt it. And the way I felt it is when I started to play sports. So when you played sports, let's say in baseball, So you had to get these Little League shoes. They called them cleats. And then I realized that some of the other kids were getting very nice ones, like maybe Adidas. And then I wanted certain types like them, and we could not afford them.

And with the sports side of things, I started to realize it was school clothes. realized it. Birthdays of Christmas, realized it. But it wasn't something that I talked about, but I saw that something was different.

Yeah, and I think that it's something that all of us that are watching right now and listening, we've all faced what I call a life interruption. An interruption is a disturbance. It is like a knock on the door that you do not expect. It's a call at three in the morning. Usually something is not good. If you have family members, you wonder like, what's wrong?

So the life interruption was my father wanted to get my mother food. So he called a local restaurant, ordered food for my mother and my father. And it's an interesting thing. The reason he ordered food for my mother is because we had eaten that night. And I just asked her this about two months ago. And I said, well, why did you need food?

And she said, because this was common when you're cooking for five kids and they keep saying, do we have any more? Do we have any more? It's easy for the mother to sacrifice and then say, I'll find something else to eat. She said, but that particular night, I had nothing else in the house.

So your father went to get me food and he was going through a green light and a person ran a red light, hit him, and then my father passed. Now, so it was an accident. The man that was driving did not do it on purpose. He was looking down for paperwork. But the interesting thing about it, he was actually a police officer who on duty, in the police car. So that was a very strange thing in life.

For one day, my father was there. And then the next day, he was not. And there was a lot of added pressure to pressure that we already had. But when I'm saying all this, it's not like a downer because we found our way through the storm. But that's just the reality of what happened at that time.
