I interviewed and went through most of the process, but I was told that being able to provide experiences for underprivileged children was a bad thing. I know it's crazy but that's what I was told, a program to give experiences to underprivileged children told me that being able to financially provide those experiences is a bad thing. I don't know what their goal is anymore, I don't know what their purpose is anymore but being a friend to a child and a mentor isn't it.

For those of you uninitiated, who at one point used the herb, fair warning: um... good luck. Many of her friends have tried it, and my wife and I are of the (perhaps naive) assumption that she hasn't, yet. We try to offer an open dialogue about anything: pregnancy/abortion, peer pressure, politics, boys vs. girls, it's all on the table, including drugs. I sit here sipping a glass of wine, so I'd be a hypocrite to deny the discussion regarding controlled substances. I'll get back to our talk in a minute. The grand theme, here, is that parenting is unbelievably hard. And parents are never perfect. And we can never truly meet our kids on their level, even if we remember, with absolute clarity, the hell that was Growing Up. Many kids (especially those whose parents refuse to honestly talk about this rite of passage) get lost, and they need a big brother or sister who do not exist. The most mature of the lot, those with tremendous fortitude, turn to BBBS. I met Mateo in 2005. Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana and left a wasteland in the wake. Like most Americans, I felt an obligation to help, but I didn't have much money and furthermore I didn't feel like writing a check would calm my conscience. I signed up with BBBS because I believed if I could help just one kid, a kid who was asking for direction, a kid just like I was, then it could make a difference. Over the next three years I hung out with Mateo, a kid who was born into a tough life, gangs surrounded him, whose dad was in and out of jail, who had a little sister and otherwise no kin of any kind. We went to a few movies, he helped me dig a garden in my backyard, we went to a batting cage and an arcade and we watched a game or two. We hung out when we could. I lost him, shortly after he turned 16. I'm guessing he joined a gang. Life at home never improved and he never opened up to me about the ugly stuff. I was a little old for a big brother by then, 32, so perhaps I wasn't the perfect match. And I wonder about him, constantly. I hope he's okay. I doubt he thinks about me. We parents are never perfect. We skirt around the stuff that we're not particularly proud of, and some of us refuse it altogether. BBBS of Central New Mexico serves kids of every stripe who strive for a way out, in any capacity. The organization was terrific, setting up events like bowling and community get-togethers that strove to connect these broken puzzle pieces with solid people in our community. From what I understand this tradition continues today. I cannot advocate enough for this organization. My own kid knows that her parents know that the pressures of teenage life are relentless. Hopefully, she understands that we've been there, we've done that (more than we'll admit), and more than anything, we just want her to be safe. I wish my parents had been so honest. And still I wonder whether this is enough. She could use a big sister. For now, she has us, survivors.
