00:00Danny and Aaron always, you know, thought of me as the Boy Scout.
00:05They still call me that sometimes.
00:07But Joe, during one of our driving lessons, he said that he was the wild one,
00:12Danny was the funny one, Aaron was the daddy's girl,
00:16and that I thought that meant I had to be the smart one.
00:19But you don't have to live up to anything, he said, except your own expectations.
00:25I only passed the bar to prove I could, to make my parents proud.
00:30It wasn't what I wanted.
00:32Joe gave me permission to become a cop.
00:39I only wish he'd lived long enough for me to thank him for it.
