Cele
By M Wright Ede
Cousin Mary i someone
you were tight with. growing
up in the old neighborhood.
She taught you how to jump
rope, and play "kick the can."
You also fought like cats and
dogs over the silliest things.
but she was your best friend.
Today, Cousin Mary is
grown and you don't even
know her children'S names.
You rarely talk on the phone.
and sometimes miss the usual
Chrtsrma card exchange. It
is completely unintentional.
You leave the neighborhood
and slowly drirt apart.
Relatives shouldn't be
cparared forever. Consider
organizing a special reunion
to reacquaint yourself with.
Cou in Mary. Before you
know it. Cousin Mary·s. Aunt
Maggie·s, and Grandmother
Jones' families are gathered
around you exchanging Iami
Iy anecdotes. News that a few
years ago seemed unimpor
tant becomes rea II y i merest
ing - because it's family.
