Dear Big, 

First of all, you should know that I am completely obsessed with you. I actually think you are one of the greatest people in the entire world. 

I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you have done for me and for the way you have loved me. Even though I have only known you for a short amount of time, words cannot express how special you are to me. You and I will always share a unique connection to each other, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you are my big. In fact, I don't love you because you are my big, but I love you for you. 

During the time building up to big/little reveal, I have never been more showered with random kindness, laughter, and junk food in my entire life. I bragged about you over and over again to my friends. I completely adored you and I have never been more excited to "meet" a person in my entire life. Who knew that you could love someone so much even when you are not sure who they are? Regardless of who you were, I knew that I would love you for years to come and that you were going to be someone important in my life. Yet no matter how much I loved you before I knew who you were, that cannot possibly compare to how highly I think of you now that I truly know you. 

There are so few people that I look up to the same way that I look up to you. I might have thought the world of you before meeting you, but now I treasure our relationship above most relationships I have in college. You are someone that I aspire to become like. You have mastered characteristics that I hope I can one day reflect to others. You are someone that I want to learn from every day for the rest of my life, and someone that I will never stop bragging about. Your selfless love, unending joy, and wisdom are parts of you that I notice each second that we spend together. Each strength and flaw that you have has knitted you into a person that I think is absolutely beautiful.

It didn't take me long to realize that these things are true not because you are my big, but they are true because of the person God has molded you to be. Yes, I am blessed beyond belief to have you as my big, but more than that, I am blessed simply because I get to know you. You are someone I treasure and always will, and I feel like the luckiest little in the world to be able to call you my big!

So thank you for countless memories of rolling around on the floor in laughter, late night conversations, baking for me, taking care of me when I was sick, and holding me when I needed someone to remind me that things happen and everything turns out to be just fine. Please know that through my eyes, you matter so much to not only me, but also the world. Even if I cannot imagine being able to love someone as well as you have loved me, I hope to be able to show you my deep admiration and adoration of you. I believe in you, I care about you, and I love you. 

Thanks for being the best BIG I could ask for!

Love, 

Your Little
