Is it normal to give birthday cards to your older second cousin?

She is 18 years older than me and I have recently started giving her birthday cards that I made on her birthday May 29.

On December 27, 2016 (the day Carrie Fisher died), I asked my then-35-year-old cousin Nena, "Nena, do you remember that card I gave you?" and she said, "Yeah." Then I asked her, "Did you read it?" and she said, "Yeah." Then I asked, "Did you like it?" and she said, "Yeah, it was really nice. I still have it." So then I thought," Good to know."

I will forever cherish that memory for the rest of my life.

Is It Normal?

  • You sound pretty excited for a 17 year old person about that. Do you have a crush on her?

    • It did get me excited when on July 16, 2017, she told me happy birthday after saying she thought it was in August. But excited in the fact that she still acknowledged my birthday, even though it was more than a month later. It was worth it.

    • No. But she is pretty.

  • It's normal to give out birthday cards. It's not normal to have a crush on a relative.

        • My dead grandmother sends me birthday cards. Before she died, she wrote "Angel kisses" on each one. My grandpa sends me one of them for my birthday every year. You say you shouldn't crush on relatives, but my grandmother's love was so divine that I will feel it all my life. She was a treasure.
