I never thought about the idea of not having siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins. So different from the way I was raised. I was raised in a town where your familial relationships and their ties to the greater community affect your own relationships. Where successive generations of families knew each other growing up. Hell I just got a rundown of the entire extended family in a nearby town because a clerk saw my last name on my debit card. They don’t have a common ancestor with me until back in the early 1800’s, but I got an update on all their business. Bless that clerks heart.
