Hello myLotters. As we grow up and start moving on along different paths, we have to separate from our family members and friends. Some are still not far away, but some live at quite a distance. Despite my busy schedules, I do try always to keep in touch with relatives and friends. I would not miss the opportunity to visit them whenever I can either. Do you visit your relatives and friends often too ?

Yes,, i do whenever i have the chance. But we do get to see each other twice a year, during Christmas and New Year. We have our family reunion and we get to spend a little more time with each other and catch up with each other's life and whereabouts.

I do. In fact, just yesterday we had a family group birthday for the September birthdays in the family. It was all of us, my parents, my brother and his wife, their daughter and her husband and five children and my, my adult daughter and her partner and four children. It was a full house indeed!! We also keep in touch and what's going on in our family lives with Facebook. I see my parents several times each month. Oh, and I moved in with my adult daughter and her family so I see them every day LOL I do believe in keeping in touch with my family. Oh yes and I email my aunt and uncle who live in a different state at least once or twice a month. I don't want to loose touch with my family.

Since I've gotten older I would say that I don't get to visit my friends and relatives nearly enough as I did when I was younger. I really miss those gatherings.

Hi Greenline, I really wish I can meet up with my relatives,friends and family members very often.But I can't as I am staying far away from them. We are at different country and I can only back to my hometown once a year. I can't wait till December as I will be back to my hometown again. Although we stayed far away, we still keep in touch all the times.With an advance technology, we can simply chat at msn,talk on the phone or sms each other. We always keep updating what is going on in our lifes. I do lost contact with some old friends and I hope can meet my old friends again in my december trip.

Hi greenline! Yeah, my relatives and I always meet during birthdays and other ocassions such as Christmas and New Year's. It has been our tradition and culture ever since so that we can always keep our bond. Sometimes we even get together when there's no ocassion at all. Families are always important, when the world turns its back on you, you can always count on Family :)

Frankly its not easy nowadays to spare enough time to visit relatives. I am busy in my job and hardly have enough time for this. I do call them often and keep communicating with them but visiting them in person is not common for me.

Hello greenline. My wife and I pay a visit to our relatives once in a while, but when some very important festivals come, we uaually pay a visit to each other. A visit to each other makes us feel good though not very often.

I visit my friends very often because I like hanging out with them a lot. We go out for movies regularly and when coming to relatives we meet for every major festival You know India is a land of festivals so we get a chance to meet for every three months..

I see friends and relatives that live close by. Ones who are farther away usually are seen once or twice a year. Summer vacations and Christmas holidays seem to be the only chances to see loved ones who live a long distance away.

I visit my family in every three weeks and stay there for about 3 days. I don't have those kind of friends I should visit as they live here in the same town with me. But I have no idea on how often I'd be able to visit my family in the future as I'll be moving to another province to follow my husband. We'd be about 4 hours flight apart. I'll be leaving on Wednesday, and I'm sad. But I sure will miss them.

Some of my family stays with me or is close by, so I see them all the time. For all the rest, I haven't seen much of them since I moved to a different city a decade ago. I attended a family reunion about a month ago and got to see some people I hadn't seen in many, many years. I do like seeing and talking to people when I can.

I would frequently visit them. In particular, be friends. Relatives can not be chosen, is woven from a variety of blood relationship, and does not with each other does not move, they change the relationship between relatives. The friend is different, friends, is your own choice, is the result of long-term emotional investment, a personal reason to be your friend, there is always the reason you like him. Therefore, together with a friend should be happy and harmonious. A friend of the relationship with relatives and less forced than the composition, along a number of naturally relaxed.
