I have a tiny family. My immediate family is slightly bigger than average but when you take into account that I have no living grandparents and that I never even had aunts and uncles, it is teeny tiny. This makes it really strange at any family occasion because even to our closest relations we are just random cousins who get invited to big family parties.
Today I am off to Wales for my Great Uncle's 80th birthday party. Apart from my dad, he is the closest link I have to her and all I want is to arrive and be told that I look just like her, that I have a glaring family resemblance.
So, my advice to all of you is: have more than 1 child, to avoid non-existent families and don't let your parents die when you children are young/not yet born.
