Use capitals for family terms when they are
used instead of a name or with a name:
Where's Mother?
Hello, Uncle.
I'm writing to Grandma.
Aunt Sara is in the hospital!
Grandpa Jones lives in New York City.
How's Cousin Grace?
Note:
Do not use capital letters for family terms
when they follow a possessive pronoun or
other determiner:
Where's your mother?
I talked to my uncle.
Our aunt Sara is in the hospital.
Where does his grandfather live?
Eimi became a mother last week!
Meryem has a lot of cousins.
Who's the father of this child?
The mother of the bride is crying.
