Dear Cousins

To the cousins that I have lost touch with
(Which includes my two uncles and an aunt who were so close in age with me that we considered each other cousins for so long.)

I miss you.

I miss playing Red Rover, Hide and Seek, Simon Says, Red Light, Green Light, Cops and Robbers, Capture the Flag and all those childhood games with you.

I miss asking my parents if you could come over and play.

I miss the sleepovers.

I miss the laughs, the jokes, and the memories.

We have all grown.

We have all matured.

We all have our own lives going on.

I understand that.

We may not talk all the time anymore, but I just want to tell you that I love you, I miss you, I support you and you are doing amazing in life!

Though it is sad how we went from being so close to each other to hardly talking, I want you to know that I will always be here for you.

We were family then,
we are family now
and we will always be family.

I love you.
