With the holidays coming up I have been pondering how I don't have a single relative I speak to other than my parents and two sisters. My sisters and I are all single and childless, and I'm the youngest at 35 (weird?). I have no children, no nieces or nephews, and no in-laws. My grandparents are all long gone. Neither of my parents talk to their siblings, so I haven't seen any aunts, uncles, or cousins in many years. It feels lonesome, especially this time of year. I hear people talking about big family gatherings and it gets me down. I know it could be worse, I could have absolutely no one, but it still sucks. I fear the future when my parents are gone (I still live with them, I'm embarrassed to say). What will life be like then? I don't even see my sisters much. One lives 1700 miles away and is frankly a bit unstable. The other only comes over on birthdays and holidays.
