To my Biggie,
From running into your arms on Bid Day to jumping into your arms on Big/Little Reveal, I've always been proud to call you mine. There is something about you that is special, though- something that makes you much different from the rest. I've known it from the beginning and there's not a day that I will forget it. You're not like a regular Big. You're a cool Big. And I thank you for that.
Thank you for your fun spirit.
I first knew I was in for it when you Instagram captioned our Big/Little Reveal Day picture "ISO: Responsible Babysitter." Your fun and carefree spirit was why I fell for you from the start, and this was just another reminder of that.
Thank you for being low-maintenance & properly prioritizing.
When purchasing silver gifts, most of the other littles were struggling searching for the most perfect gifts to give their Bigs. I had no trouble at all- I am certain that the silver monogrammed wine glass impressed you just as much, if not more than any other gift would have.
Thank you for being slightly unprepared.
During initiation, when the vibes of seriousness were becoming nearly unbearable, you somehow managed to make it bearable. Maybe it was because of you frequently forgetting your cues, stumbling over the lyrics to the ritual songs, or accidentally laughing at the most inappropriate times-- I'm glad it was you I got to stand by and experience it with.
Thank you for being different.
Our relationship is different from most in the sense that we oftentimes forget who's the big and who's the little. Our roles are frequently reversed, and that makes things fun. On Saturday nights when I get the joy of trying to keep up with your adventurous self, I'm ultimately just practicing for when I get my own little, although just the thought of having to handle the both of you is already frightening.
Thank you for being you.
I chose you, loved you, and ended up with you for a reason- some of those reasons I will still never understand, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I am forever grateful that God chose to place your fun, carefree, crazy, wild, beautiful soul into my life.
// Here's to you, here's to me. Big and little we'll always be. //
