Possible Family Get Together

I saw my second cousin Cara at WalMart. She asked me if I was interested in a family get together. I told her that it would be nice. She is married and has children. Her parents and sister died. Her sister had a heart attack and had a head on collision with a semi truck. This was so sad. My grandmother's sisters are all dead including my grandmother. My other second cousin Karen, her parents and brother have died. I am still close to her. There is Judy. Her parents and husband are gone. My other second female cousins live in Florida. Two other second male cousins have died. I have two second male cousins I don't see very often. My grandmother was raised my her aunt, an old spinster school teacher. Her aunt told her parents since grandma was the first born that she wanted her and they could have other children. My grandmother's parents let Aunt Maude have grandma to raise as her own. My aunts and uncles are dying off and I have cousins, my parents, husband and son and I need to cherish the family I have left. I look forward to a family together with my cousin Cara and other cousins. When you are a kid, you think we are going to live forever. Now, I know that isn't the case. Family is everything.
