We only have one son, single, mid-thirties who is well established. Many of our friends have parts of their families spread out throughout the country and they seem to have no issues. Anyone out there that can help my wife with her concerns?
Our family is scattered about and we probably see them more now then before. Everyone loves to visit Florida for vacations and if they can stay with you they can even save a few bucks. Sometimes we pay for a ticket or two for someone that comes and visits and sometimes we offer a ticket as a Christmas or birthday gift.
I know it's not that same as having them here but Skype works well for a "virtual" visit and it's free.
