Are you close to your Big/Lil?

[ZetaLuvBunny]

Maybe I have an idealogical view that most people should be best friends or at least very close to their Bigs/Lils.

I have already put in a lot of time painting and decorating so my little (whoever she may end up being) can have really unique special things. I am just a little fearful of ending up with a little that will drop out for some reason or another, or end up not being very compatable with me, because I know once I get a little I will be very dedicated to making sure she feels welcome and at home in our sisterhood.

What are YOUR thoughts on the importance of Bigs/Lils, and what are your personal experiences with your Big/Lil? Do you wish you could have had someone else as your Big or Little? Have you had any particularly wonderful/awful experiences regarding this? Any suggestions for finding a little you can really click with?
