It's Been THIRTY Years!?

I do not come from a close knit family. 

While I have quite a large extended family on both my mom and dad's sides, we've never been close with any of them.

We are spread out, you see. 

My dad's family being in Australia and sprinkled throughout Asia. 

My mom's family is even more scattered. Eastern US and Taiwan mostly.

So we've just never really been around each other to get close enough to have any true relationships.

But we do have memories from when we were kids. 

Not a ton, but some.

My mom has 1 full sibling (my Aunt Lili), 2 half-sisters and a half-brother.

My Aunt and her two kids came to visit over Labor Day weekend.

It seriously has been like 30 years since we've seen our cousins.

We promised not to wait another 30 years and to try to do a get together once a year.
