Destiny

Seaside, California, about 1973:

Here's a photo of Tim, about age 2, sitting on an antique fire truck with his firefighter dad standing next to him.

Today, Tim is a captain in the Los Angeles Fire Department. He loves what he does and he's good at it.

Seeing this photo, I have to wonder . . . How much of what we do with our children influences how their lives evolve. Take this photo of Tim at about age 2 for instance. Did these earliest experiences impact his choice for a career? Did we actually set the stage or would he have chosen that career anyway?

How would his life have been different if he had not had this experience? I can only wonder.
