Wayyyyyyy back in 1986, I joined a group called Youth Assisting Youth (YAY). YAY is a peer mentoring organization. The commitment is a year, but my "little sister" and I have stayed in contact. When the annual picnic came along this year, I went and brought my kids. I hadn't been to a YAY picnic for over ten years (not counting last year when Hubby and I crashed it right at the end to say hello to people) I decided to draw a turtle on my 'passport', thanks to a suggestion from my oldest daughter.

Wow turtles turn up everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI think that is so sweet you have stayed in touch with your "little sister". You will probably have a big impact on her life :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. She says I have. She is in her late thirties now, so I don't think I have any real impact any more. She definitely had an impact on my life too. :)
ReplyDeleteShe even wrote a letter about it that was published in the newsletter that made me all misty.
Now my oldest has decided she wants to make a difference so she is at the beginning of the screening process right now. :D (*proud Mommy moment*)
