Remembering all my cousins by the dozens when I was little.

Family gatherings meant games and adventures. Yet I have lost track of most of them.

Quiet talk at funerals. Grateful for their presence.

Reaching out through Facebook to the branches of the family tree I have.

Adopting friends to be my family. How are you today Cuz?

My sisters and brothers in Christ.

My sisters and brothers in Laughter.

Relatively speaking ,I have felt better but a jammy day and I will be OK.

Now you take it easy today I tell myself sternly. Yes Mom I answer.
