Let's keep today's question simple:
How many siblings do you have? How many cousins? (First cousins!)
I have no blood siblings; but I do have 4 step-siblings. I'm not particularly close to them; but my one step-sister's kids and mine just love each other. I had 2 other step-siblings from my father's last marriage. They have been divorced for close to 15 years; but when you share a lot of childhood years with someone, they still feel like family in some regard.
I have 6 first cousins. I was very close to 2 of them when we were kids but we aren't close anymore unfortunately. My DH doesn't have any cousins! I always thought that was kind of sad. But then I didn't have blood siblings and I wished for one of those off and on during my childhood.
ETA: I am closer to 2 of my other cousins. We don't talk daily; except via facebook. But if I am in town we get to spend a lot of that time together. One will come visit me on occasion too. (I felt bad I didn't say this last night when I first posted the question!)
