People say that we start and end with family. In the end, it is your family that will be there to support you no matter what. My mom always said that your family members are your biggest fans, and she couldn't be more right.The fights, the fun, the awkward moments – you had it all because sometimes the best things in life are given to you. Whether you were going through something like a family divorce or you stubbed your toe on the curb, your cousins were always there to lift your head or heart when it was hurting.

1.They grew up with you, so they know exactly how weird you are and still love you.

2.This means they also know ALL of your embarrassing life stories…which they bring up, all the time.

3.Your parents put you in matching outfits.

4. You don’t have to explain the insanity of your family to them because they already FULLY understand.

5. You would always give your old clothes to your younger cousins, just so they could be as cute as you.

6.You always have the one cousin who hates taking pictures. ( hi Tyler.. )

7.You’ve spent tons of vacations, family parties and holidays together which means you have THE BEST memories to share.

8. No matter what situation comes about, you are all in it together.

9.This also means they know every one of your quirks, so you’re never afraid to totally be yourself around them.

10.You have a killer handshake.

11.You still get excited when mom tells you they are coming into town.

12. And you still pretend you are 5 and have a cousin sleepover with popcorn, games, and giggles.

13. You know how to drop the beat.

14. You are always going out of your way to make sure they're okay.
