WARNING, NONE OF THIS MAY BE TRUE, THIS IS JUST TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND I DON'T KNOW MUCH!

Average sized family (used to be huge, but cancer runs in the family on both sides sadly), mostly old people I don't remember and people I only see at funerals, weddings, etc. Lots of drama, people are always mad, my cousin may go off her meds and tell everyone you did something that you didn't, not that she would know if you did, because she lives half a state away and never comes to visit, because no one in the family likes her. Beware, there are lots of genetic diseases, such as cancer, strokes, heart and blood problems, etc.

Family includes one grandma, one grandpa, many aunts, many uncles, several cousins (I can't give you an estimate of how many cousins I have, it's into the hundreds for all I know), lots of step relatives, etc. The grandparents come from my mom's sides, as my dad's parents both died. My grandma died about two years ago, from strokes. My grandpa died in 2001, the same year that I was born. He had cancer and was determined to live at least until after I was born. I had many aunts and uncle, but sadly, my dad is the only one of four kids that are still alive. All had cancer, but my uncle John committed suicide. I have an aunt on both sides, though nobody likes my aunt on my dad's side anymore, not completely sure why. I have an aunt and uncle on my mom's sides, who have two boys. One of them is fifteen and the other is twelve (?). Sadly, we see those cousins the most. We only see them on holidays and when we go with our grandparents to their hockey games. There are other exceptions, but not many. Going to see my grandparents is tricky, because even if you say you will only stay one night, that's rarely true. You never know how much to pack!
