I live on the other side of the country from my big, and we don't get much time to talk. When I joined Beta, she was oh so helpful with teaching me about our org and giving advice. Not a 'sunshine and rainbows and OMG...squee!!!' kind of relationship, but one borne of mutual respect and genuine appreciation for the other. I love her and love our big-little bond.

I had five littles, two of whom were never initiated, one who went inactive and moved to another state and three who are close to me and are my best friends.

It really varies.. .
My point in saying this ncsu, is echoing the suggestion to embrace your new littles. Being a big to my 'happy yellow rose crew' has been a great experience and that relationship (at least in my case) will last forever.
