- When my pops passed away of a heart attack in the hospital, it was due to asthma complications which I inherited from him (thankfully nowhere near as bad) and I was 8 years old. My mother is a strong lady but it hurt my soul to see hear break down on the floor like that. My dad made me a handmade card with Mickey Mouse on it with like 2 paragraphs on the inside that he gave me a week before he passed. Not sure he knew it was coming or not but I hang that letter above my bed till this day. He wasn't perfect but I still love him, last time I cried in my life
- When an older cat in my neighborhood was murdered at a mall we frequent, shot in head and chest over a chick no less , my older brother was particularly close with him and we all looked up to him. I was 10 and didn't understand why at the time, he was nice dude and would play ball with us and buy the younger kids like myself ninja turtles off the ice cream truck. Careful out here fellas
- When my second job, but first real full time gig, got raided by the FBI and seized by the government. I was intern for the IT department making great money compared to my first job and at the end of it they let me stay on as a full time employee. The first day not being an intern the FBI and sheriff department showed up with guns out and made us all go the conference room while they searched the place. Our CEO wasn't their at the time and it was never made clear to me until later but it turns out the CEO along with some executives were commuting high level insurance fraud. Stole millions selling insurance to nightclubs and concert venues, the jig was up when he tried to take the company public and his paper work was funny (false bank statements). Once he lost the company he did all types of foul **** like canceling the internet and phone service, driving the company cars up to the front door so we couldn't get inside without climbing over them (Aston Martin and an H3 hummer), and worst of all he had people on the inside hiding and disrupting **** including my old direct bosses. They hit me randomly one day and tried to get me too give them some hard drives at a local restaurant away from the building, I hung up and blocked they numbers. The CEO is currently serving 40 years for this among other things (He also was planning to get one of the judge's overseeing his case killed, had multiple sniper rifles in his crib). Shining light is I was forced to learn high level networking and computer stuff since I stayed on a year till everything was liquidated, they made the CIO for about 8 months and I got a raise.
