[quote=Anonymous]I too am an only and my parents were immigrants, so all of our extended family was a fourteen hour flight away. It was lonely and I always felt there was something missing. Friends come and go; they don't have blood ties to hold them. Eldercare (my father recently passed) was a lonely nightmare. Childcare has been that way too. Unfortunately it all happened together. That said, my husband is one of three. He too is an immigrant so the other two live far away. I think during his childhood, his siblings helped him out a lot. But these days, he talks to his siblings maybe once a week for a few minutes at a time. They are busy with their own families, and they live far away. In the end, our main connection is to each other, and I don't know that his life is that different from mine.[/quote]
