A good sponsor is an angel.... God in skin. I learned so much from my sponsor. I miss her every day. She died of a heart attack 3 yrs ago. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't still check in with her. Even though we can't have a face to face conversation anymore, I have those moments when I reach out to her and I still get the answers I need.
For me, a sponsor is a lifeline. A sponsor is the person who holds me accountable, picks me up and brushes me off when I stumble, leads by example, and loves me unconditionally.
