All of you,
I am so thankful for you. I can’t imagine what it would have been like to grow up without all of my cousins, near and far, in my life.
Actually, I can imagine… as I watch my kids grow up without many cousins… and I don’t like it one bit!
You guys are a big part of why I have always wanted several kids. I can’t give my kids cousins, but I can improve the odds that my grandkids will have cousins to grow up with.
I can pass on a legacy of family, and that is what I hope to do.
We had so much fun growing up together, didn’t we, cousinfriends? Even those of you who lived farther away, there was always that instant connection and comfort of family when we were together (and even now, with all our wonderful internet access that keeps us close!).
Thanks for making my life, my growing up years, so incredibly great.
I love you all, so much!
