I've come to value my friends, far and above family. Got a call today from my ex-brother in law (my sister's first husband), congratulating me on becoming a "Grand Aunt." My nephew's daughter it turns out, just gave birth to a baby girl. Did I know she'd even married (not that it's a prerequisite, or anything)? No. Had we been close? Never~ beyond having one (seemingly) meaningful phone connection some years back, which I'd hoped would lead to more contact, but didn't.
