Do you have a large extended family that is there for each other?

This past weekend my uncle passed away and all of our family was together. It seems that we only see some of the family during these times which is sad but those are ones that live far away. I watched my family a lot and saw how wonderful we are in how we support each other during these times. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a large extended family. It didn't matter who was crying because there was always someone around to comfort them. Tons of hugs and lots of love was available for everyone. When we were at the cemetary we visited the graves of others in our family that were laid to rest their. More tears were shed and more hugs were given. My oldest daughter stood over the graves crying and when I hugged her she said mom this sucks. I told her yes it is hard to have so many we love buried here and that we had lost so many but that when you have a close large family you have more of that. I then told her that with the sorrow of so many comes the love of so many as well. She agreed that having a large family is good even if it means that we have to lose so many we love. I have to say that I for one am very happy to come from a large extended family that is so close.
