I was accepted as a Big Sister in 1980.
I was matched with a little girl 8 years old.
Her mother died when she was very young.
The commitment was to spend one Saturday afternoon together for a year.
My Little Sister just turned 42!
We still see each other as often as we can.
She has enriched my life with so much love.
I truly can't imagine a world without her in it.
If you are thinking of becoming a Big Sister or a Big Brother, do it!
It's a blessing to be able to be a positive influence in a youngster's life.
