Cousins


Other than your mom and dad and siblings, your cousins are your first friends. The kids of your mom and dad’s siblings are still family, even though they have a different last name.
Before school or church or camp or teams, your cousins are the ones you first learn how to interact with who isn’t an adult.
Unless living in the same town, only family reunions or holidays brings cousins back into your life, still you have to send Christmas cards and keep track of birthdays of almost strangers.
Still there is a special bond with your first friends. Maybe the first dancing partner or a dirty little secret or a kissing cousin, these folks are different because they are family.
While other friend’s come and go, cousins are always connected by blood.
