My dad's family consisted of 4 brothers, The youngest died from cancer 15 years ago, my dad went 13 years ago now

and now him, he was the second youngest.

I have met him only three times, and one of them was at my dad's funeral here. The thing about my family is my mom and dad came here to America in their 20s , so I'm first generation. Most of my family stayed in the mother land, so the thing is maybe yall have had relationships with your aunts and uncles and cousins, I never had that. it was just us for the most part. Also, I am not mexican, they came from another country, so we can't easily visit my family either. My mexican friends visit their families in Mexico all of the time, we didn't have that

Like 20 years ago this uncle actually moved to California so thats how I met him the first time, and my dad actually went over there for a summer to help him start a business.

I remember he actually came to visit us at our home here one time with my cousins, it was a delight cause as I said, we never really had that

unfortunately we never kept in contact. My mom's family is the same, she has two sisters but they stayed for the most part in the Motherland. One of them had 2 kids and those two moved to Cali as well. I have met them a few times but never maintained a relationship. but I digress

Now I only have one more uncle on that side. They have all had kids, and some of my cousins have had kids (I think that makes us second cousins? I'm not sure)

so the bloodline is moving on

I just, feel bad that the immediately family is almost gone. I'm imagining in the future how my immediately family might disappear one day. Its a strange feeling, it feels like mortality is starting to creep up on us

At the very least, If theres an afterlife, my dad has some company now.

Yea man, Life is short
