Following in my footsteps...
I recently became an uncle, and at Christmas we got my nephew a bib that says "Future Policeman". I can't wait to see him wear it, but it got me thinking...
How do you feel about your son/daughter following in your footsteps?
I gave it some thought last night, and I'm really not sure about how I'd feel if my son or daughter told me that they wanted to become a cop. In one sense, I'm sure that I would be proud that they were devoting their life to helping others. On the other hand, this job really does change a person. I equate it to "finding out about the Matrix". I wish that I was still ignorant about the evil of the world... I wish that I could still trust people and not feel the need to constantly watch my back. I don't know if I'd want my son/daughter to have to see and know the kinds of things that law enforcement gets exposed to...
