purplepadma, Last boost: while I sometimes feel sad that my grownup children don’t live closer and I can’t see them as much as I would like because of pesky things like jobs, my kids and I are in contact really often. We don’t talk on the phone unless it’s something really complicated - I hate the phone - but my daughter and I text daily and the longest my son and I go without texting is a week, and that’s rare. Maybe I’m just super lucky?
