We were close as cousins - all lived in the same town when we were young, and saw each other often. As we all got older, most on my DM's side went to college and moved away. A couple I have hardly ever seen since (so sad), or we saw each other at funerals!
The same is true today. I hardly see any of my cousins. I lost my last Uncle a few months ago, at the age of 94. Several on my DM's side lived into their 90's. The cousins on my DF's side still live in my home town or nearby. I see them around once a year. I am the oldest of the cousins on my DF's side.
