Shira
She’s my niece, or my niece a cousin once removed – if there ever was a definition for this relation- but more importantly she ‘s 10 days younger than my son, and her mom and I shared pregnancy stories half a world away over the phone; often I wonder what it would be like for my kids to grow up with my extended family,their extended like I did, with many cousins on both sides – cousins, that even though we all live far away from each other and only meet on rare occasions like grandmothers turning 90…we are still very much bonded and connected- we grew up together- and it’s what I miss most about home.
