It's surreal thinking about cousins being friends. I see my cousins maybe at Christmas and then at the occasional funeral or wedding. It sounds nice though.
I wish we were closer, but I'm an only child and they are the eldest of 3 siblings. So they're close to each other, tho the middle one just moved interstate. We're the kids of 2 of 4 siblings as well, so Sunday lunch at nanandopas has always had aunts, uncle, and a subset of cousins.
I do see them individually, as mates, occasionally. This is one of those occasions.
Yeah. I rarely see then but it only used to be every so often so I’m not sure what it would have been like to have been really close with family.
Maybe not with my cousins specifically but maybe it would have been nice to have spent more time with some members of my family doing things.
