Every relationship has its own importance and essence in our life, right. Recently I spent some lovely time with my cousins. There were more than around 8 cousins, huh. I being rather close to 5 of them, the past present and future were all talked off. It was an occasion on behalf of a festival at a place around 25 kms away from home. All of them had come over to there and been a part of it. Well when did you meet your cousin the last time or where did you meet up! Do share your answers. Cousins are vital in our live' s when its like you are a single son/daughter like me.

All my cousins are spread throughout India and we usually meet during a family function like marriage or betrothal. I had a nice time with my paternal cousins in 2009 when my paternal uncle turned 80. We celebrate the eightieth birthday with grand fervor and most the of the relatives attend the function and make it a great event. I am eagerly waiting for my cousin's daughter's wedding which is to take place in this May and this will give me an opportuinity to have a good time with my cousins. Happy mylotting.

Good to find out that most your cousins will be in the country mostly and not so far away form you. The occasions of all sorts provide us opportunity to meet up and talk out our hearts to the, huh. The birthday party of your uncle was one such function indeed. The cousin daughter's marriage will be also a wonderful experience for you I guarantee and wish you an awesome time there.

Ours is a close knit family,so we meet frequently.Another advantage is we are located nearby.Assembling to meet one another isn't a problem.Cousins have helped me a lot more when i was in difficulty than friends.

Wonderful, for sure. You are lucky to have your cousins close to you. Any help form them and form you would be readily available form either side, right. We may not tell them any difficulty but they would find it on their own and resolve it for us. I believe just a you say they have been helping more than the friends would do, huh. Cousins are special and they are merely our friends in a way, I would suggest.

Hi. tintukm. I am supposed to spend some time with my cousin this weekend, but I will be too tired to see her. I have to go to an dentist appointment for my daughter tomorrow and I will be very tired from running here and there for this past week. I think that I may will have to just see her on Easter day. I need a break from the usual. I spend time with my cousin's by calling them on the telephone and talking to them. That is how I will spend my time with them when I am no able to get to their house.

I eagerly hope you do get to see your cousin if the tighter schedule of your becomes a little light, huh. A little time after the appointment with the dentist for your daughter would make you be able to meet up with your cousin sister. But you are the one to decide as also you say Easter day will be possible with them and that will be very auspicious too. The talks over the wire is easy way indeed. Sometimes we like go on talking and talking when on phone, there would be so much to hear and tell. Anyway I do hope you find time to see her and spend a wonderful time with her.

In the beginning of August I went to my uncle's birthday party and at the party I got the chance to meet my cousins on my father's side. It was great to meet them and to talk to them again. One of my cousins lives on another island and I don't her very often, because it is expensive to cross the bridge between the island where I live and the other island. When I was younger we all lived on the same island and we met more often. On my mother's side I only have one cousin, she lives in Copenhagen and I haven't seen her for a long time. I invited her when we were having a party in June, but she had to work so she wasnt able to come. I hope that I will get the chance to see her at christmas.

You are so right that cousin's are vital in our lives. Most of my cousins have more or less 1 year older or younger than me. So it is easier for us to relate to things easily because their is no information gap during conversations, unlike with parents and other adults. A lot of my happy moments happened together with my cousins. Heck, we've been playing music in a band for almost 7 years now. Most of our hobbies are the same, say for example, my female cousins like playing video games as well. Sometimes, I rather waste the day spending time with them than my friends or some classmates at school. At least for me I think I can safely say that I could always rely and trust on them.

Yes very well said. There's no information gap or rather a generation gap. We could be to them as we want it to be. Just as our friends they would understand us and cope up with all our habits too. I don't say they just understand us but we also have a great opportunity to talk endlessly to them. Not like parents as you too suggest they are pretty good mates indeed. You are with them for 7 years that itself shows the commitment of one other. The common habits and likes among dislike too they have a big relation all together. Wish you happy life with them all. These relation never break and we must maintain it not not break for what so ever, huh.
