My great grandfather was one of 12 kids, and he had 14. My dad said he had so many cousins that at one family reunion they just shut down some town. Mom had one cousin.
Once my grandmothers died things got lots smaller, and now that only my MIL is left it is smaller yet.
At one Thanksgiving right after I came to Oklahoma I went with my dad's parents to a farm in Guthrie and had a thanksgiving with distant cousins I had never seen or knew about. The next year my dad retired and they moved to Oklahoma to retire so we never went back to that distant cousin family. I do have 5 cousins scattered all over the country.
I have not had a thanksgiving with my brother sine I left home to go play at being an adult long long ago. I have grown old, but I refuse to grow up.
