I have a rather large family. On my mother's side alone I have 12 cousins and two sisters (that is 15 nieces and nephews, including myself, to my aunts and uncles) and 12 aunts and uncles together. My mom's family is heavily concentrated in Ontario. One of her brother's is out in California and one of her sisters is still in India. Three of my mom's nieces are scattered around the world. One is in Maryland, one is in England and one in India.

    My father's side is much smaller. He has two brothers and a sister. His parents, sister and one brother who still lives in B.C. His other brother is in Nova Scotia. My parents separated in 2004 and my father moved out to B.C. to be with his father. My grandmother passed away in October of 2003.
