my kin

electriceddiei have said i got more relatives than a politician running for office. and i do. i have alot of brothers and sisters. they have alot of kids, so i have many nieces and nephews. i have always been around kids. so i wouldnt know how to act if there wasnt a kid to hold or to tease.

seen some of my family last night. they are from oklahoma. they are another branch of my family. they adopted me years back. i used to go down there for ceremonies alot. so i got to know them. it was nice to visit my mother  and my sisters from there. my aunts and their kids were also there. i had a regular family reunion. it was nice to see all of them. we hugged each other when it was time to say bye. i hope to go down there and visit sometime soon.

i respect the act of adoption. i have gone thru 3 adoption ceremonies. i became part of those families. anytime i see any of them i make it a point to go see them. i have lost 3 brothers and we have adopted for them. when i see the ones we took for brothers i think of my brothers that i have lost.  we also adopted for my mother who was the biggest influence on me. i think of her alot. everytime i see the one we took in her place i think of her.

when i add all my families together i have a big family. at one time i had 3 mothers and 24 brothers and sisters. probably only a rez njun can say that. i dont know how many call me uncle or misho. too many to count.  it is nice to have so many relatives. friends come and go. i lost many of my friends over the years. probably from the lifestyle we led. family stays forever though. a close friend of mine told me i was rich. she didnt mean in the material sense. she meant because i am surrounded by such a big family. i agreed with her. i dont know if anyone dislikes me or not. wouldnt matter. the ones that care for me, genuinely do. thats who i care about. so i am rich.
