I think it runs in the family that bigs and littles aren't really that close. My grand-big and my big weren't as close as most and I'm not as close to my big, and neither is my little to me. It all has to do with being far away from each other. . .everyone is too far away so it's hard to be close. But this upcoming fall will be my first non-colonizing rush so I hope I will be very close to my little. Reading all of the responses gives me ideas on how I try to be friends with her.
