Family

[skcin]

You can give as much or as little info as you'd like. Or you can ignore my thread like most people do.

Grandparents: All deceased. Lost the last one when I was 14. (Interesting to me is that husband had all 4 grandparents living until he was 30. His greatgrandmother didn't die until he was 25.)

Parents: Both alive, married 40 years despite their dislike for eachother for at least the latter half of those years. Ah, true love.

Siblings: One brother, 2 years younger than I. One (half)brother, 15 years older.

Kids: None, so here's where my pets come in. 8 year old Boxer, 5 year old siamese mix cat, 5 months old stray cat.

Nieces/nephews: 1 nephew from my younger brother, he'll turn 1 this September. My older brother has 2 kids, my niece turned 23 yesterday & my nephew will be 20.


Closeness: I'd say I'm close with all of my fam. I live 5 miles away from my parents, we see them about once a week. My younger brother is out of state but moving back soon, we hope. That's been hard, not having him & his wife & the new baby nearby. Older brother is in Bulgaria with his family, last saw them 8 years ago, but keeping in touch is easy with email. Not as hard as it used to be, that's for sure.
