These are the faces of people I couldn't live without...
Growing up I never felt alone because I always had my cousins there. Until recently we have never lived more than a mile from each other. They are more like brothers and sisters to me. I see most of them almost every week and to some that may seem crazy but to me it is normal. Our bond to one another is stronger than I can describe in words. We are there for each other like no one else can be. The amazing people that have joined our bunch over the years have blended so well and it's like they have always been there. We protect each other, we stick up for one another, we are there when we are needed, we laugh together, we cry together (rarely), we are each others best friend. I am so grateful that our family has raised us so that even when we have grown up and have gotten married we still see each other all the time. Not many people have the bond we do and that's something no one can take away or destroy because at the end of every day there is nothing I wouldn't do for any one of my cousins.. I know they would do the same. When I was given the news about Adams choice the next day I was having a rough day and who was there when I needed them yep..my cousins Curtis & Brooke they came to my rescue and I would have done the same for them...the word that comes when I think of our friendship is unbreakable...something that is irreplaceable!
I found a poem about cousins..
I know I have cousins.
To turn to..when I'm blue.
Cousins who are there for me.
In everything I do.
Is such a source comfort.
Such a treasure to be sure.
It makes the problems that I face.
Much easier to endure.
And when I'm feeling joyful..
And taking everything in stride.
It's uplifting to share laughter.
With my cousins by my side.
Though words are never enough.
The message that I send..
I feel blessed to have them.
As my cousins and friends.
Love you Cousins!!!
