My Cousin, My Best Friend
My family is big. My father has eight siblings and I have seventeen cousins. Though I am close to everyone, one of them is the closest. He's my aunt's son. Since my father is the sixth son and got married relatively late, most of my cousins are much older than me. The oldest among us becomes 40 next year and the rest of them are in the middle of their thirties. But he is the only one who is at the same age of me. We hang out together every time we meet. For example, since very young, on the big holidays when all the relatives gather, older cousins went out to play leaving us at home. We were too young to get along with them. When they all became adults, we were not even old enough to go to elementary school. So, we hanged out for ourselves making our own memories. Whenever either I or he has a trouble, we support each other even until today. When my aunt had an accident and had to stay at the hospital for a while, I was there with him for several days and nights. Likewise, he rushed to me when I failed to achieve what I hoped to eagarly. There's a famous saying that one's life is worthwhile if he has just two friends indeed. Every time I meet him and talk to him, I'm so pleased that I have already found one of the two.
