Very close. There was a period in my life when I had very little contact with any of the members of my family, but now I am in touch with them as much as possible. I've gone through a lot of ups and downs, but the one constant has always been my family. There is an opinion that closeness to your family compromises your independence somehow, and I think I believed that too at one time; but having an uncle pass away a few years ago in his fifties has encouraged the family not to take each other for granted, and there has been an effort on everyone's part to stay more involved with each other.
