18. The worst part is the way extended families are breaking up.

My Dad grew up in the same town as aunts and uncles and cousins and second cousins and third cousins. My kids haven't seen some of their first cousins in years. They don't even remember meeting one of my brothers. We were at one family funeral years ago and I wish we could get all the cousins together again for a happier event. Worrying about Mom and Dad growing old with no family within two hundred miles isn't fun, either.
