I just got off the phone with my sister (one and only sister)

[spedbug]

who lives in Australia and who is one of the few of my siblings I really feel connected to.
I love talking to her and catching up but, afterward, I'm always left feeling a bit melancholy.

I miss her. I miss my niece and nephew and my lovely BIL, too. When you love someone a lot the miles that part you seem longer.

Sorry you are down, spedbug.
:(
I understand how you feel...
*big hugs*
I hope you will feel cheerier in the morning.

Question...
Did your sis marry an Australian?
Or is she an ex-pat?
:D

It really is hard. I have a baby niece and nephew back home in the U.S. and sometimes it just kills me that I don't even know them. I can't wait until someone finally invents the beaming thingie from Star Trek--there are times when it would really come in handy.

My sister is in Colorado -- from West Virginia. That's quite far enough, I think.

Though when she's closer we fight constantly! When she's that far away, we talk regularly and enjoy it. So, perhaps for us at least, a little distance is not a bad thing.

PS -- I'm catching up on my friends' journals as I lost track while on vacation. So, hello! A little late, but hugs, nonetheless.
