Bereft
It's no secret that having a baby has made me desperately wish for family that lived closer. I had 2 family links here until just recently. It was one of the reasons we chose Florida over a few other states. However, they just left to move far up north. We didn't see them lots, but having them here was a lot of comfort for me. I was looking forward to E having family to see on holidays and having others to give him the kind of undivided attention that we do. I've been feeling lonely and disconnected to begin with. Now that they're gone, it's worse. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy overall. I just want to see E playing with cousins and for us all to get hugs from family members more than once every 6 months. I never thought I'd feel this strongly about it.

I really struggle with this as well. I wish Z could see his gparents much more often than once or a handful of times a year.
I completely get it. We are truly of one mind.
Being that Elizabeth is the only one, I don't have this quite as much yet. But I think I will, when others appear.
Happy Anniversary and I am sorry you are missing family so much.
I think it just means you need to move back north. :)
Just kidding - I'm sorry you're lonely for family. :( I'd share mine if I could. :)
I understand. My hubby has family here, but all mine is so far away. It's hard not to be jealous sometimes.
This one is easy. Move to Richmond. :-)
I see a running theme of moving back up north. ;) We talk about going to VA sometime. We're stuck here for the time being though. And it sucks some because I do love Florida. Ah well.
