Meeting Family on Facebook

If someone else had told me I would meet most of my family on facebook I would have laughed them to scorn. But it is just amazing how I keep meeting new family on facebook! The amazing thing is my family features are so strong it is just hard to deny the resemblance. And I keep having friend requests from long lost cousins who look just like me! Amazing! My father spent most of my childhood hiding me from my mom's family and from his own family. Why? I dont know. Facebook really brings the world together. Facebook also brings all the stuff your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, grandaunts, granduncles were doing in the dark...to light! No longer do you have to wait for the next funeral to meet long lost cousins. Hopefully you wont find out that the partner you were planning to marry (because both of you had soooo much in common...) is really your long lost cousin! And hopefully you dont find this out at your wedding ! ( wedding turns into your nightmare when family from groom's side and bride's side start saying Hello cousin so and so! Hello Uncle! Hello Aunty!) Anyway, whatever the critics may say, facebook is amazing. (This coming for someone who used to be afraid of facebook). More on this to come! Stay tuned!
