Cousins Quote by Anonymous
“Your first ever true friends are your 1st cousins. They are the first friends you shape your life with, the only ones you can be yourself around, and the only ones you know for a fact, will be there when you are down and out. You dont have to be someone just to get them to like you.”

![“I am alone all day, I read a little but it gives me a headache. I draw and I paint, as much as I can, so much so that my hand gets tired and when it begins to get dark I wait to see if Jeanne d'Armagnac [one of the cousins] will come and sit by my bed. She comes sometimes and tries to distract me…” quote by Anonymous](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/60f/anonymous-1_cousins_i-am-alone-all-day-i-read-a-little-but-i_2533570.jpg)
