Ogg Cousins’ Day

Cousins are often our first friends, partners-in-crime at family gatherings, and sometimes the only people who truly understand the wild dynamics of our families. Technically, cousins are the children of your aunts and uncles—so you share grandparents with them. But emotionally, cousins can be so much more.

They’re the ones you grow up with, sharing everything from toys to secrets to dreams about the future. Depending on your relationship, a cousin can feel more like a sibling, a best friend, or even a mentor. And because they’re family, there’s this unspoken bond—no matter how much time passes or how far life takes you, you can usually pick up right where you left off.

Do you have a cousin who holds a special place in your heart?
