We grew up with our cousins, like brothers and sisters very close. Among the six of us, at least one (who I was closest to, other than my sister) voted for the orange dumpster fire. His sons also did.

Our generation are all retirement age, and one female cousin (very sweet) is battling cancer. Tearing this family apart would break her heart, and I don't want to do the ripping.
