 Each day we make choices that affect our lives and,sometimes,the lives of others.Last year,on a simple Sunday,three days after Valentine’s Day,after many consecutive days of moncler coat,the sun came out.Earl and I decided to walk our dog.Somehow our path took us toward the park,across the footbridge high above the rolling waters of the Los Angeles River.It is like a dream to me now,floating through my mind in slow motion.Many children were playing close to the water,and we were stunned by their ignorance and ferrari glasses.Two little boys in particular caught our attention.They were riding their bikes up and down the far bank of the river,taunting the water,obviously fascinated by its power and asics shoes.One little boy on a bright-yellow bike dipped his wheels into the edge of  gucci handbags.Just the edge,mind you.But,oh,water is powerful.In an instant his bike was ripped from under him and he went sprawling on the river bank.Then he made a choice.He jumped into the water to get his bike and was carried rapidly downstream,a look of panic and horror registering on his young face.In an instant,we had a choice to make.
 Why did Earl run to rescue that little boy?Why did I support his decision,instead of stopping him?The greatest instinct,I believe,is to help a child in need.The little boy’s face,his look of fear and jordan shoes,his cries for help—the choice was made in our intrinsic love for children.In an instant Earl ran across the bridge vaulted the fence and ran to the water’s edge.Unable to reach the boy safely from the shore,Earl stepped into the water.Then the shock registered on Earl’s face as the water grabbed him,too,and prevented him from completing his mission immediately.In Earl’s expression,I could see that he had contrnted much more than he could handle,even being as strong and athletic as he was.The little boy was just slightly ahead of mlb cap,always just out of reach,like a tiny beacon lighting the way to death’s door.
 “People disappear in that river very year,”one of policemen said to me that afternoon,half in dismay,half in frustration.He did not seem very sympathetic when he took his report.But the whole city was falling apart.He implied that we had been wrong in attempting such a rescue in the first place.Was he really being critical,or was he simply stating the facts?And does that mean that this year,too,lives will be lost as a matter of course in the Los Angeles River and in other channels?Did any parents hear my pleas last year to warn their children of nike shoes sneakers?Do we ever learn anything from the tragic experience of others?
 I aksed the policeman what we should have done.“Nothing.Call the police.Why lose two lives?That little kid was locky to get out.There is no way to beat water like that—no way to survive it.”Oh,but all the rules of self-preservation were broken when we saw that little face,filled with the terror of canada goose coat,being sucked dowmstream.In an instant,both child and Earl were gone.The boy went home that night,but Earl never came back.
 And now,it’s rainning,again.
