The last family reunion I attended on my mothers side had 283 people showing up. From me down our last reunion was 28 kids, grandkids and spouses.

I envy those of you who have a large family, especially if it is a supportive, close-knit one.  I have a VERY small one.  My parents are both deceased, only one sister who is much older than myself and lives far away, two children...one of whom not interested in having kids (and that's alright; it's her decision), and quite distant aunts, uncles, and cousins.  In fact, most aunts/uncles are becoming deceased.  As you may be able to tell, I am no "spring chicken" myself, but I wish there was more family for support, friendship, empathy, etc.  Treasure family, even when there are a few you sometimes wonder about.  I'm looking for a few good friends to fill the void, but that is not an easy goal to fulfill.

I have a large family.  I have 10 brothers and sisters, whose kids have children, whose kids have children.  So you see the line continues which is great.  I have thousands of cousins located around the world.

I don't have a really big family but it is gigantic in comparison to my husband's family. On his side there are only about nine people who communicate regularly but on my side there are more like 19 or 20 who do. Lately there have been a lot of events like marriages and funerals that have been bringing the families together. The two sides are getting to know one another now.

 Total of five so I like to think we're average or dare I say it, ideal number.

I'm the youngest of 5 kids, have two brothers (one passed on) and two sisters.  Usually at family gatherings, between all the siblings and their kids and grandkids we end up with maybe 18 or 19 people at our house at a time.

I have 4 sisters and 3 brothers. Family keeps growing with all my nieces and nephews. I only have one son. Wish I had more children, but too old for that now.  :( Anyways, I am so blessed to be a mother, such an honor  :D

I don't have a large family but the family I have is close. We get together often and enjoy each other. I love large families. There's nothing better than family.
