I always talk about my amazing family - my kids have been such a lifeline for me.... But, my "family" stretches far beyond the reach of my children.
I am grateful to have a loving, warm, extended family of cousins who constantly watch over me - no matter how far away they live!! The genuine concern and love is so evident in their phone calls and texts. Each one has a different style.... but their love always shines through. They never stand on ceremony ... never wonder "what is the right thing to say". Their agenda is always the same: to let me know they are thinking about me, see if I need anything, and to tell me they love me. It always makes me smile to hear from them.
I have 9 first cousins - (18 counting their spouses).- from New York, New Jersey, Florida, Utah, and California....I am so blessed to have this relationship with most of my cousins' children (26 of them) as well!!
