Minna and Althea

She was a cousin of a cousin of mine

She was an adopted cousin of mine and she was adopted when she was three months old. My cousin was a Phd and she became a mother when she was about thirty something. She wanted to be a Mom and so it happened. She loved the child and the child loved her. As she grew older, Minna took her traveling and she graduated high school and started college.

I found her online and told her that her Mom Minna and I were first cousins. Which made Althea was my cousin second in line.

We chatted online and it was a nice meeting.

She told me she was engaged and she invited us to her forthcoming wedding. I told her I was not walking too good and hard for me to come to Philadelphia.

It was a nice event.
