My dearest little,

It is only 7 days until you find out who I am. That you realize that I am your big. Your mentor. Your shoulder to cry on. Your guaranteed good time. And while there are plenty of these types of articles, I hope that this one can be something you refer back to when you need something to calm your fears. Months from now I hope that you can look back and see that I loved you and thought you were perfect even before I could even officially claim you as my little.

Big and Little is a very special relationship that when maintained properly can lead to a life long friendship. I joke with my big that this relationship is similar to a catholic marriage. You put a lot of thought into who you will be making this bond with, and its not something that can be dropped for silly reasons. If things aren't absolutely perfect, you work to fix them. You don't just give up on your little, or your big.

Big and Little isn't just someone to take pictures with. It isn't just someone who gives you a bunch of presents for a week. I hope that you remember that when you have a hard day, I will be there with ice cream and pasta and we can sit down and make it ok again. I hope that I become one of the first people that you call when you find out super amazing news! When you are unsure if you want to run for exec, I will be there to walk you through it and help you put your best foot forward. When you need help studying, I'll be there. You are my little and your needs come before mine. When you need me always remember that Big knows best.

I cannot wait for all the fro-yo dates, all the movie nights, all the trips you and I will go on, all the laughing, and the inside jokes that are soon to come. And most of all, all the crafting.

While I hope that you really enjoy all the hard work I have put in, crafting for you, I hope you know that it is more than the presents. The cute sayings on your canvases are not only cute sayings, but they are reminders too. "In high tide, or low tide, I'll always be by your side."

I love you so very very much Little. I cannot wait to see your smiling face during reveal. While the anticipation is killing you, it is also killing me. I hope I can be all you hope for and more.

Love,

Your Big
