This summer my great uncle had his 90th birthday party. Best friends with my grandfather, my mother was raised as his niece. His daughters have become my aunts, and all the kids of the next generation are my cousins. More so than any other set of friends, I see them frequently, and I often feel like we look out for one another, just like family.
My great uncle is so beloved that with all the party-goers, I barely got to talk to him that night. It was a relaxed evening where I made the hors d'oeuvres, and afterwards posed for some pictures while my sister had the camera and my cousin kept us riveted with his piano playing.
I wore a dress that I abandoned for ages, and my aunts all "ooh"ed and "aah"ed as though it were brand new. That's when it hit me that I've never shown this dress to all of you. :)
