2 years old email!

[i]Hi che. I wonder why did it take that long for your Grandma to reply? LOL. Seriously, I have relatives from my mother side who lives in Davao. I haven't seen them for 10 years now. We haven't got the chance too to go there for my Grandma's wake 6 years ago. We still communicate through SMS but it will just happen once in a blue moon. LOL. They keep on changing their numbers.. Hopefully next year, we will have the chance to see each other, maybe when my husband returns home from Canada. Happy postings! HUGZ![/i]

I am glad that you finally heard from her. I have a sister that I have not seen for almost 17 years now. We live about 60 miles from one another right now. She chooses not to be part part of the family or have anything to do with any of us. My mom has not seen her for 17 years also, but they had a falling out years ago and huist have not made ammends with one another. they choose not to do so.

Oh my! That is a long time to wait for a reply to an email. Maybe she is going through troubles in her own life with her family that prevents her from being close to your family.

i do... i think since prehistoric time i must say...lol... well some of my relatives dont bother to talk to some long distance relatives not relationship... well thats my family... like search and destroy...

yeah it sounds like kind of a funny experience especially since it took your aunt two years to reply back to an email,and I am sorry to hear that your Grandmother is sick and I hope she gets better,there are a lot of members of my family both both my moms side and my dads side that I do not ever see,for example I have not seen my moms real dad in years,because he was a jerk,and we stopped going to see him,the last I heard from him,was he sent me a check as a graduation present,and that was back in 2004, and before that I think the last time we had visited him had been like three years,my uncle keeps in touch with him,so my mom finds out how her dad is doing through him, even though my uncle is kind of crazy if you ask me.

Wow! A reply that took 2 years in making! LOL Your Aunt must have really thought hard in composing the e-mail, hehe... Maybe she is not really into e-mails and internet, or she's just busy browsing other sites that she forgot to check her e-mail. Fortunately for me, my sister do check her e-mail regularly.

yeah i did ..its my father!! since been separated from my mom and its been decades since i havent seen him and not even his address!! i just cant help but think why on earth he did not try to communicate with us?

We do not respond right away when my in-laws email us either. But it doesn't take us 2 years to respond LOL. Sometimes it takes us weeks or a month to reply. That is because they are from France and they speak french and my french is bad, so I can't write to them in french so I have to wait till my husband is available to translate what I want to say. My spouse is often busy and doesn't have time to keep in touch much. If I knew how to speak french or if my in-laws and I spoke the same language, then I could keep in touch with them often.

Well, i have relative that i have never seen at all... and they are the once who live in the province... my sister and her family who i have not seen for four years visited us last month... I wonder why your aunt seem unaffected by your Grandfather's passing?... did they have a sort of misunderstanding when she left... or is she being controlled by her husband... there are a lot of reasons that we can speculate... but i think the best way to know is for you to start communicating with her a lot often... that might shed light in the mystery...

I have some aunts that I haven't seen in years and I have some cousins and some uncles too, that I haven't seen in years. But my immediate family is very close and we see each other all of the time, well we did till I moved away from them all 4 months ago. I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters and my mom and all my nephews and nieces and now some of my nieces have babies and I see them too quite often. We are a very close knit family as there were so many of us kids, when we were younger, and we grew up close and dependant on each other, against our abusive drunk father. But when it comes to my mom's brother and sisters and there kids, or my father's brother and sisters and their kids, well all the kids of theirs are all grown and have families of their own, I have not seen any of them in so many years I don't even know if I would recognize any of them.

hahahaha... that is funny... hmm, yep, got some cousins that i haven't seen in a long long time... hmmm, and they just live in another province an hour from our own city... hahahaha... i even see my relatives from abroad more often than i see them.. i dunnow... maybe, we're just not that close, harhar... but it's okay.. it's just a few cousin from my mom's side.. we're a huge, huge family and we can't know everyone... hahaha...

I have several cousins who live in Ohio. I live in Illinois. I saw a lot of them 3 years ago at my neices graduation party. But I have not seen or talke to some of them since.

I have some relatives that I have only seen once or twice in my life, some I have never met, and some I haven't seen since I was a small child.

that was cool with your aunt hehehe .well i have many most of it my fathers side never seen them at all but i dont know at the moment where they are some they are in cagayan but its a long time never seen then i guess 20 yrs approxiamtely.

Thats really funny , too long distance made her too long to respond huh? i'm missing my fiance it has been 8 months which is like 8 years...

thats funny. your email even took longer than snail mail! i have heard of snail mail taking this long, but not emails. i have a ton of relatives that i havent seen for ages. lots of cousins because i was the youngest cousin and all my cousins are super older than me.

Wow 2 years is a long time but still glad you got a response. I have sent of emails to cousins who have not replied and don't think they ever will. My family are terrible when it comes to emails and prefer making calls instead :)

My dad did get an e-mail from somebody saying congratulations on their new baby boy but he was two years too late.

I have lots of family that I havent seen in years.My brother lives just about 2 hours away from me and I havent seen him in over a year.Some people just dont have family values and just arent interested in keepinf family ties.

How funny! I have so many relatives that I have not seen for at least 20 years or longer. We are not the closest of families plus a lot of my family are now spread out all over the world. I am daft really not keeping in touch with them, I could have had some great cheap holidays LOL
