In honour of Thank Your Mentor Day on Tuesday, this letter was sent to a Big Sister in the Big Brothers and Big Sisters programme and then copied to the Royal Gazette. Names have been omitted.

@EDITRULE:

Dear Big Sister,

We don't need a day to say "thank you", because the mere fact that you have taken on the role as Big Sister is truly a blessing. I thank you every day. Time just goes by so fast and we do not get a chance to do much or talk. Since today has been set aside to thank individuals such as yourself, my daughter and I would like to say a BIG thank you for all you have done and continue to do in her life.

A MOTHER
