One of the things I really like about my family is our close family ties. I didn't have any younger sibling until I was 16 so I practically lived my life with my cousins as my "brothers and sisters". Most of my cousins from the father side are now based in the United States. We communicate as often as we could. Everytime they come home to the Philippines for a vacation, we spend most of our time together.

Hi,
I have lots of cousins both maternal and paternal. Both the families were big ones and so I have lots of cousins. On maternal side I am one of the youngest and in the paternal side i am the eldest of the group. It is really fun having had that many cousins to play with when we were kids.
Now all of us hvae spread out here and there. We do not have much connection except a mail or two now and then. But for a marriage or a function at home we join and make merry. All the best

With my immediate cousins, pretty much ok. There are a few that I keep in contact with every couple of days and then there are others that I may only hear from once in a blue moon.

When we were younger my cousins and I were really close. On my mom's side of the family there was 6 of us that were inseperable. Then as we got older we drifted apart. For the last 15 years or so we see each other at Christmas and that is about it. Sometimes we dont even see each other then. Our family is not generally close so we usually just do our own thing :)

Lol you had to ask this question. My cousins that live out west I get along with well but we dont get a chance to talk to much. My cousins that live here which is 2, we dont talk at all. Shes nothing but a low pos! I cant even express the things she has said and done but since you asked my relationship with her is nothing! lol...

My family very close with their siblings. So, my cousins and i very close too. My family like 2 make gathering at my grandma house.
Every ceremony we spend time and helping each other. My cousins and i are close 2. We share our hobby together and change our hobby like reading novel, fishing.
Now, when i start my work far from them, i just meet my cousins when i'm back to my home or grandma house but we still contact each other.
