[quote=Anonymous]Three of our adult kids live away from us (I’m visiting one now.) I feel close to them and we have an active family group chat. We had vacationed as a family once a year but haven’t for two years because of COVID. I admit to being jealous of friends who have all or most of their kids still in town - especially now with grandkids but I’m also proud of the lives they’ve built. We still have a much younger kid at home and my job is tied to this area. I think when we’re in a more flexible position I’d move to be closer to at least one of them especially as my own parents are gone and my FIL is 98. The ease of communication makes distance easier. FWIW my only relative growing up in this country was my grandmother and she lived in NYC/us DC. We only saw her 5-6 times a year but I never questioned that we were a close family. When she retired, she moved here and it wasn’t a dramatic change - just easier.[/quote]
