[quote="GrowingUp"]Around 7. I was an early reader (started reading at 4).

Hey, me too. My mother taught me to read when I was 4.
At 6 yrs old I taught my best friend to read fluently - she had problems learning how to read.

Nice question.

I was married about a decade and I bought an Artscroll Siddur with English translation for myself.
Davening became a whole new eye opener experience for me of joy and yearning to Hashem.
I finally understood what I was asking for, davening for.
Just to read the translation of what our dear Father Does for His children, every single minute of the day, day after day.
I wanted to become closer and nearer to such a compassionate Tatty.
