Wee brother's my best mate, older brother is also a good mate, but it's a bit less with him, we do each other nuts in at times. My da, i'll see every week or so, couple of weeks at most.

Fairly close. In regular contact with them all.

I've got about a million cousins, don't speak to any of them really. My mum was the youngest of 13, so loads of older cousins. Occasionally see the remaining aunties once in a blue moon. But that's always been the way. They are all getting on now, all in their 70s and 80s.

Call my parents every day no matter where I am in the world. Not spoken to my sisters for about 20 years mainly due to the oafs they married.

We have a child - well a man now - with Cerebral Palsy, and it has been challenging for all of us.

I genuinely don't know how we would have coped without the support of of my Mum and Dad, and that of my partner's folks.

I have two older brothers, who between them have five wonderful children, who have lived with and loved my slightly odd boy as they all grew up, and made us all just part of one whole.

I cannot even begin to explain how important this has been to us.

I love all of them with a passion i couldn't possibly convey properly.

Immediate family, now 800m from parents so see frequently sister 15 miles but have seen once since christmas. We've been spread over the world but have gravitated back. Cousins, until now hadn't really thought about it until now but there are dozens and don't see them or even know how many there are. In-laws are 5 miles away used to see them way to regularly but we had a falling out now it's probably once a month phone call which is strained. Apart form lockdon OH did shopping for them, but that's not thawed the frost.
