[quote=Anonymous]There are many ways to make an effort. I'm very close with my sister who lives on Long Island, which is the single worst place to drive to on the planet. We both have somewhat inflexible jobs and she has a son who plays a travel sport that eats up a lot of family vacation time. When we do have vacation time both families actually want to vacation-- which a visit to DC or Long Island is not. So we talk on the phone twice per week, I drive up to see her once or twice a year, and there's an all-cousins beach weekend every two years. Sometimes travel sports bring them close enough to meet up. She doesn't drive down to see me-- she's a therapist with on-call duties at an inpatient facility and her son's sports take a lot of time. Family means everything to her. She would walk through fire for me. I'm beyond lucky. Life isn't black and white. People can have deep commitments that they express differently than you would want them to. [/quote]
