Cousins

Last Saturday and Sunday my mom, brother, sister, and I traveled to Louisiana for my aunt's funeral. It was heart wrenching watching her husband, kids, and grand kids suffer and grieve. My memories of my aunt unfortunately all revolve around me being a small child. My extended family has not seen each other very much since we grew up. We used to get together all the time with all the cousins but time and distance seems to keep us apart. So even in the sadness it was great to see all my cousins again. He we are all grown up.

I will say that we are missing our cousing Shannon who could not make it from North Carolina. We missed her.
