I’m so Grateful for My Big Brother.
As the very first Big Brother Little Brother coupling in Haliburton County, my Big Brother Greg and I go back a long way.
If you haven’t been a Little Brother, it’s really hard to explain adequately how having a Big Brother can have such a huge impact on your life. Whenever I felt lost or unloved, I knew there was one person I could count on, my Big Brother Greg. Greg was a very special friend and role model to me throughout my childhood and teenage years. Today I am happy to say Greg and I still remain friends and have a father/son bond that will last us a lifetime.
I am very passionate about Big Brothers Big Sisters because without Greg in my life, I would have never had the opportunity to experience this type of interaction with a father like figure.
My life was affected in a very positive way by having Greg as a Big Brother. “When I received you as a Big Brother, I realized how luck I was but I never told you. You helped me through the worst days of my life and shared the good days with me. You are my best friend and nobody can take that away from me”. I owe a debt of gratitude to the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.
