Sorry for your losses Ditch-Runner. I have lost contact with most of my cousins over the years. They are scattered all over the country and most of the female cousins got married and have last names I do not even know.
same here we had a small family compared to most on both mom and dads side now my dad did had 7 or 8 sisters I have no idea of any of there family or where abouts in Tennessee and at least three generations of them by now I have no way to even find them . mom had a two brothers and one sister all have passed on as a kid I knew and was around a few of the cousins both my moms brothers and our family were close as kids but every one went there own way had families and again I have no idea of how many kids if any or what happened to most all of them . sad we let that happen but sure is easy to get caught up in life and forget the simple things like keeping in touch .
its just a another kick in the head about being old when your family all start passing away and seems only yesterday t like we were all in the yard as kids playing
RIP and glad I am still around to honor there memory
I hear ya there D-R! I came from a very large family on both parents sides. All of my cousins were very close growing up. As a matter of fact, way back when I first watched that movie "Tombstone", a quote from Val Kilmer's rendition of Doc Holliday made me blush!
“I was in love once. My first cousin. She was… We were both so…
She joined a convent over the affair.
She was all I ever wanted.” 😲
Well! My relationship didn't go quite that far as ole Doc's, but who really can understand what goes on in the mind of a 13 year old boy!! 😁
Sorry for your loss DR.
Very sorry for your losses....tough getting older and watching family and friends slowly fade away. Prayers for God's peace and comfort for you and your family..
We watched the family members get old and now its our turn.
