I loved my cousins and we were very close when growing up. My grandmother raised three of us and we had great times.
All my Precious Cousins are gone now and my Beloved Sister is gone, too.
I am really lonely at times and miss them all terribly but I know they are all happy in Heaven and I will see them again.
Thank goodness for my Hubby and Very Best Friend Curt.
being the caboose of a rather large family, I can't say I was friends with my first cousins. Although my cousin's daughters and I were the same age and palled about quite a bit. Now we are all grown and we are the older generation. We are all friends now and gather annually at my old family place for a reunion the last weekend of July. Their children are now friends and watching their children's children play together and bond is a great thing
Bronco, where are you? Are you ok? I'm worried, you are usually one of the first persons to post...are you lonely and sad and all alone. You poor baby--CinCin will be home soon.
I love my cousins and we are really close. In fact we are meeting achother today...
I never really knew my cousins. I have 5, and I have only seen one of them in the last 30 years. We never lived close to them when we were growing up.
Wine Fairie - I am fine. I am just busy and not able to answer these questions quickly these days
Let's see...I have a BIG BUNCH of cousins. The ones from my father's side are kind of distant. I do have one cousin my age who is trying to make contact. I had one show up to John's party--I hadn't seen him for 20 years! I guess free food and booze will attract a certain element. I have thee cousins from my mom's brother and we are, not close, but we do like each other. Growing up I used to stay with my mom's mom, and we got close to those cousins and her cousins, but time and distance wear on those relationships. Now, we mostly see eachother when someone is ill or burried.
WHAT MAKES A COUSIN??????? ARE THEY
UNCLES AND AUNTS KIDS??????NEVER
GREW UP AROUND ANY. NO FRIENDS WHILE GROWING UP. CAN'T CLAIM THEM
AS FRIENDS TODAY--NO IDEA WHERE
THEY LIVE OR IF THEY ARE STILL LIVING.
I was very close to my 2 cousins growing up. Situations beyond my control separated my family from my one cousin for years. His sister is older and is a "home body" and does not like going out of her "comfort zone" to socialize so we only see them rarely now.
I have 9 1st cousins on my Mother's side of the family. I'm next to the youngest, but there were only 2 girls in these 9. The oldest is in his 60's now and the youngest is 38. I am friends and do communicate at least once a year with each of them, thier children and their children's children. Long Christmas card list.... And, Yes at one time we had 5 generations in one room!
Now on my fater's side of the family, I have met all of the 1st cousins (7 total) and their spouses at the funerals over the years (greedy people that they are) but they are not people I would consider friends. Still trying to figure out how my father escaped the group.....
I was really close to all of my cousins growing up and still feel a close bond to them. I lost one of my cousins about 10 years ago to cancer which was really sad. All of us really miss him.
I don't really stay in contact with them like I should but we hear from each other through our parents or other relatives and see each other at reunions, etc. We are always able to pick up our conversations just like we haven't been apart. The bond is still there.
