Hey there Lil Bit,

I honestly couldn't be more excited to have you as part of my family. Ever since the day I met you I knew we were going to get along great. I mean, in some aspects, we're practically the same person! I just wanted to write you this letter to let you know how important I take my role as your big.

I have the best big in the whole world. She's fun, reliable, caring and an amazing person to look up to. I want to be that for you. Whenever you are feeling down or just want some company please know that my door is always open. I'm sorry for tricking you into thinking I wasn't going to be your big, but I feel like deep down you always knew we would end up together. I've loved getting you gifts and crafting for your room and once again, I'm sorry for eating the candy I got you, but crafting is hard work! You never need an invitation to join in on my plans; you are always welcome! No matter how much you think you might be annoying me, its never true. I love talking to you and you can always look to me for advice.

Please remember that boys can really suck sometimes and as bad as you think they are now, they will probably get worse throughout your college experience, but we're so young and we have so much time to find the right person. College is a time to meet life long friends and prepare for our futures. It's tough. Classes get really hard and sometimes you might think you won't be able to make it but, no matter what you're going through, things will always get better. You're going to trip along the way, but whatever path this crazy life takes us on, I know that it will be full of adventure, laughter, and lessons learned. You always have a friend in me, just like I know I'll always have a friend in you.

My final promise is that I'll always be here to hold your hand...and your hair!

XOXO, Your Big.
