My favorite cousin's widow sent out an email mentioning that it was his birthday. And she said things I didn't know about him. It is so strange to grieve for and miss someone of whom you have very few memories. When folks with scattered families are kids, sometimes our parents push us to be connected to our relatives. But as adults, we see them for what they are: strangers with a claim on our hearts. Family is so weird. Its funny, I just posted to my blog in a similar vein.
