I think you are absolutely qualified to answer #1 but I keep my opinions to myself :)
I actually have a cousin that fits in that category. I mean her mom got along better with me than she did. And she was REALLY close with my mom. Funny how that works sometimes.
I love my morning walk with Sam out on the desert. Depending on temperature it usually takes something over an hour, but who is counting?
Thanks for engaging this weekend!
Yes, that is funny, maybe there are some child-parent expectation thing in the middle? I mean, I always try to correct my son, but when seeing my niece, for me it seems everything perfect what she is doing 🤷
As well, I have other niece, the younger sister of my "soul mate" niece but we are not so strongly connected.
