They’ve helped me out of a jam financially here and there, so I give them due credit for decency. But like? Trump supporters, all of them. 'Nuff said.

I love everyone in my immediate family. And I love my sibling’s children.

I have an aunt and a couple of cousins that I love. I would be very sad if anything happened to them.

I have great fondness for my grandmother even though I hardly ever see her or talk to her. I send her a gift every year with a note, and she’ll send me a note in return.

Everyone else that I’m related to, I put into one of two boxes. “Like” and “Indifferent/Dislike”. Most of them belong to that second box.

I am not someone who loves a person just because we’re related.
