I think it is very important to be close to your big/little. I'm very close to both my big and little. We're a very tight family. We try to make sure we either talk over the summer or during the school year have family nights. Even though my big is no an alum, she is still going to visit my little and I once a week so we can continue to have family nights. I think it helps that we all have so much in common but it's a good bond to have.
