They have no idea how close you are with your family.
They have no idea how much your cousin meant to you.
How your cousin was just like a sibling to you.

They were there during your annoying kid years.
During your awkward teenage years.
They might have even held you as a baby, or vice vera.
You watched each other grow up.
You became adults together.
And you should have reached retirement age together.

When you lose a cousin, its impossible to process what has happened.
In the past, you have lost grandparents and aunts and uncles, and it was devastating.
But losing someone so young just doesnt feel right.
It feels like you heard the news wrong.
When you lose a cousin, you keep thinking about how it doesnt make any sense.
It doesnt make any sense that theyredeadwhen you just saw them a little while ago.
It doesnt many any sense that someone as nice as them would be taken away this early.
It doesnt make sense for them to die when they havent finished living yet, when theyve barely evenstarted.
It could have been you inside of the casket, inside of that urn.
When you lose a cousin, every holiday feels different due to their absence.
When you lose a cousin, you lose afamilymember.
