My daughter. Tomorrow I pin my old FF badge on her, as she becomes a probie for the OFD. So proud of the work she put in to get here. 30yrs ago, as a probie myself, anyone said this would be my destiny, NO WAY I believe it. Life is a mysterious incredible journey. I’m so lucky
@unfuckedfire Strength & weakness.I am nothing w/o the team. I am insignificant, & I am only a result of my effort to be better. My existence is random. Continued existence isn’t my call. Learning is lifelong. Lottery win when hired in 1989, & again in 2020 last day. GRATEFULNESS & PERSPECTIVE
