More from Reva_the_Scarf
We all have different reasons for doing the things we do. In terms of medic'ing, some do it for the money, some use it as a stepping stone to other things, some do it as a challenge, opening portals to adventure. I wanted to give back. To know that I'm doing some good for someone. I wanted to know that when I'm older, and I have kids, I had done something that they could look up to me for, and hopefully, emulate and follow me. My dad was distant, a non-entity in my life, but his shadow kept me moving forward, and I draw my personality and outlook from my dearly departed grandfather. This picture is of my partner and his son, but it is my tribute to all fathers...Happy Daddy's Day, yo.

But if you take the traditional family and glorify it so much, what about all those who never had one? Where's their memorial? And I probably won't have kids. If I ever have kids, it's going to be many years into the future, and we're going to have to adopt. Sure, it's a beautiful ideal. But a lot of things are. And those who have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps every day just to make it are too often overlooked.
Broken home with zero interaction with dad til about 12. But there comes a moment in your life where you stop whining about it, and glorifying the concept of broken home / lone wolf kid and realize that regardless, half of him is in you, and nothing can possibly change that. Some people never reconcile that thought, though, and some dads aren't worth it. It's up to you though, to decide how you're going to see things. As for kids, you never know until you're ready, and it just sounds like it's not time yet. Whether or not it ever is, remains to be see. I quite look forward to having kids of my own, if only to give them what I didn't have growing up. :)
This is quite inspiring and I share the idea. I've reconsider my contribution and start studying to follow another career for similar reasons. It is not so much about leaving any sort of legacy for me as to know at least one day what I did made a difference for someone. I don't know anything more rewarding than the smile of someone you help find their own solution when they were stuck.
Very nice picture Reva. Ah I gotta get around and do something nice for my dad. Heh. I guess I can thank him for a lot of my interest. He got me into science fiction and by extension into science. He also helped me get into history and drawing as well. ^^ Plus he's always been there with an ear to listen and jokes. Might not always be the best relationship. Sure we squabble now and again over this or that but it never last long. Here's to fathers day. ^^ Now I gotta go draw something for it. XD
You know, I both fear and respect medics. Medics in my field have to deal with everything from knee pain to head trauma to blown off limbs to gunshot wound to the head. I respect them for what they do and fear the day they are hovering over my head saying "It's going to be alright, you're going to make it." Part of my job has me doing some medic training too. I still hate doing needle sticks. Just one more reason I respect all medical personal out there.
