Preparing for my first Little I never dreamt of the impact this girl would have on my life.
I've always been someone's big sister. I was someone who bossed around little brothers and passed hand me downs to little sisters, but this..this was something completely different.

I put on a shirt that said "Big" and a girl with a matching shirt that said "Little" ran into my arms and BOOM..my life was never the same again.

This overwhelming feeling consumed my whole being. I became possessive over this girl. I was obsessed with her. I morphed into this person who was motherly figure to this naive Little girl. I became a therapist and life motivator. My heart grew and I was determined to do and to be whatever the girl in the matching shirt needed me to be.

I became a Big.

So my Little loves, this one is for you....

First off, thank you. For picking me.. and for allowing me to be "Biggie" or "Big" in your phone and most importantly in your life. It is seriously one of the most honoring titles I have.

Thank you for loving me, even if I "shhh" you in chapter meeting every week. Thank you for the "I love you most" texts when I text you "I love you." Thank you for barging into my room and reminding me there's really no privacy policy when it comes to our relationship, and for letting me test out my cooking skills on you (even if I forget to put the chili seasoning in the chili). Thank you for the drop by's at work just to say hi. Thank you for the hugs you attack me with every time you see me and the smile you bring to my face every time I see you.

Thanks for reminding me always how much you look up to me and for tagging me in funny tweets that make me laugh. Thank you for bringing just the right amount of spunk into my life. Thank you for the donut dates in our pjs. Thank you for always listening when I need to vent, and hour long phone calls even after just seeing you at chapter meeting.

Thank you for calling me when you had a bad day and for introducing me to your families. Thank you for cuddling with me while we discuss life together. Thank you for being the center of my snapchat story, and giving me Grand Littles to love.
Thank you for always being my Sunshine on a cloudy day.

I beam from ear to ear when I hear someone say they love you or when I see you in the library studying. I get this satisfactory feeling inside my bones that makes me want to tear up when I see you falling in love with this sisterhood.

Littles make life a lot better and on my long list of things I'm thankful for..y'all are at the tippy-top.

I love you, Littles.
forever and always.
