Do you have a lot of family? It seems everyone around me has aunts, uncles, cousins, tons of siblings and on and on. They have large family gatherings, reunions, etc. For me, it is myself, DH and our 3 kids which I am very blessed by. Our family is us. Both my and Dh's parents are deceased. My brother is deceased. I have a sister who lives several states away and I am fortunate if i see her once a year. DH has a brother who lives about 2 hrs away and we do so him and his wife from time to time. Neither one of us grew up knowing aunts, uncles or cousins. We have them but for some reason i guess our families didn't cultivate that.
I always wondered what it must be like to have these huge family gatherings. I am grateful for my small family and try to make things special. But, it is interesting to hear people complain about their big families and maybe they don't know that they are fortunate to have so many people involved in their lives.
