May 24th - Cousins

May 24th
I am grateful for my cousins. I have many cousins who I regrettably don't see as often as I should and would love to catch up with them more often, and actually know who they really are, to know their personality other than by just their name and face, and how they fit in family wise.

I am grateful that my cousins were my first friends before I even had friends. They are the ones whom I remember playing sports with, children's games, play video games with, and go to their birthday parties. They are the first 'outsiders' who made me feel welcomed to different places and introduced me to other people they knew.

I am grateful for all my cousins now for the support and love they have given me, been there for me when things weren't going my way and grew up with me, even under the same roof as mine. Even some cousins I would call brothers and sisters to me. I am grateful that these 'first friends' of mine have never given up on me and are still there for me.
