Living far apart

Tweet

Should families live far apart? I haven't really thought of this before but now that all my siblings are living far away from me and my mother I'm kind of wishing that we all live near each other. December last year my brothers and his family went home for a vacation, and April this year my sister and her daughter took a 1 month vacation. Another brother also living far to work comes home twice a year. My other sister who's also married lives in the same city as ours but it's a one hour ride from here. Reuniting with them at least once a year is a very happy and memorable event, specially bonding with their children since I don't have one. This also makes my mother very happy seeing all her children coming home. Of course we can't dictate that they should live here, they have their own lives now. Sometimes though I think that life is too short for us to be apart when it makes us happy when we are together, or maybe we're that happy because we seldom see each other.
