V's Version

Here is a video of Pk's big brother, Larry Sogolow, playing an original blues tune. Pk has been part of the Big Brothers / Big Sisters program for a full year now. What a blessing the program has been - but to have found Larry is even more amazing. He lives just blocks away from us, knows about things like cars and how to throw a football and is the most gentle soul. He walks in the woods with his dog and takes stunning photographs and is the perfect yin / yang balance for Pk. We are so lucky!

Sadly, most children in the program have to wait a year or more to be matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister. Sometimes, they "age out" of the program without ever finding someone because there are too few volunteers. It breaks my heart. The process to become a BB / BS is intense (as it should be if we are going to entrust them with one on one time with our young children!) but I am sure that I will become a Big Sister when Pk is older.
