My children just don't have all that many cousins, but they do have some nice family memories, at least I hope so.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-30799884822553938142011-11-24T18:47:21.908+02:002011-11-24T18:47:21.908+02:00Thank you for sending me the link to your post. I ...Thank you for sending me the link to your post. I know how you must feel-nostalgic, and yearning...even though you made a decision to make Aliyah, there is always something lost, in leaving family.<br /><br />I don't have Thanksgiving memories from my childhood, but I have family get-together memories, when my mother's parents, and her siblings, my aunts and uncles (there weren't many cousins)got together for picnics in the park.<br /><br />I am grateful that my sons' families, the little cousins, will grow up knowing each other. I can't even say, "together," because they live so far apart: one in Gedera, and one in Efrat. But they get together for some chagim, and just last Monday I Skyped with my older son at his place in Gedera, and his younger brother and family was there for dinner (malawach!) with his family--so the cousins did get together, and I saw and spoke to everyone.Lady-Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992305067771885711noreply@blogger.com
