Family

I was telling my friend that I love my family. He's an only kid with no aunts or uncles. I'm a child of three, with seven aunts and uncles on both sides. I grew up with a lot of people, a lot of people to love me and care for me and build relationships with. One thing I will always be proud of is that my sister is my best friend and that I can talk to my brother about silliness, because we are very similar.

But tomorrow, or today - I go visit my cousin Julius and his very pregnant wife, Voula. I love them both. But I can remember the times when I was little when he would let me play on his computer all day, have sleepovers with him, he'd even take me out on dates. He was the one who introduced me to Blade and Star Wars as well as my first movie ever, Back to the Future. I can't imagine that he has a dog, a wife, multiple cars, owns a house and has his first offspring on the way.

There was a time when I thought that it'd be "Jules and Naffie," together, forever. Playing tennis on the weekends, meeting the girlfriends, getting ice cream and deciding if we liked them afterwards. But no matter how old we get and move further apart, geologically, he will always have a place in my heart that no one can take away. I love family.
