Day 165-166: Cousins

Hey guys!

    So, the past few days, I've been visiting family in Raleigh. My mom's side of the family is very interesting, because we really weren't very close with them, but through losing Graham and Clara's diagnosis, it has really brought us together. The weird thing is, although we don't spend LOADS of time together, the time we do get to spend together is so precious. Whether it's watching Clara's daughters dance around the room in their tu-tus I made them, or talking with Anna about her plans in the Netherlands, or even discussing the grossness of sun screen with Clara, (FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS MY PAIN!!!)it is all so meaningful to me. You would never think that we grew up most of our lives only having met the other a few times, and that's what I love about my cousins. The connection is so awesome, and so unique, even though we don't see each other much, and our ages range all the way from the early 30's to me, at 19, and that's not even counting the younger ones, because let's be honest, they rarely leave the home theatre...Anyways, things that have made me happy these past few days are the connection I have with my cousins, even though they ARE a good deal older than me, they love me like their little sister, and will jump at a chance to pass on advice about hard things in life! I am so blessed to not only have an older sister, but I also have 4 old girl cousins who truly watch out for me as if I am their sister!

<3 Always,
Rose
