I used to live far away from my entire family, but after I moved they are all close. The one living furthest away is my grandmother, but it's still only an hours travelling so I can visit her often.

its better that way. life is too short to waste love and time that could have been spent with family.

Exactly. My grandparents are getting old, so I really want to spend as much time as I can with them before they pass away.

thats nice to know. my sister may also be going to the uk soon. if she doesnt go to germany. my grandparents live in the house next to my parents. but my parents are planning to divide their house in two. it will give them more peace of mind if they lived even closer. .

We are not that close to each other, but not very far either. It is a 2 hour drive from my house to my parents. Before this, my married brother lives with my parents but he will be moving out soon. My other sister who's already married too now lives far away and takes 9 hours to reach her by car. I think if we all live together nearby it would be great.

I stayed in town with my mom while my brother & sister left town. My brother is back now, but my sister loves where she's at now. My parents moved from NJ when I was a small child so I never remember living close to my grandparents or cousins.

yeah I live pretty close lol I do live with them I do love my family a lot and I dont think that i could ever move far away from them it would be to hard for me because I would miss them so much so if I did move out I would move to an apartment in the same city as my parents and grand parents.

I still live at my parents house with my hubby and baby. Though we already have a house of our own but it is still not that livable so for the time being we are still staying here. My mom also doesn't want us her children to live far away. But my other sibling who are already married want to be independent and live on their own. But most of my siblings make it a point to visit us during weekends especially if there are special occasions like birthdays.

I live with my parent's house and my brother's house. Its all in the same city. My brother lives far from us with his family but comes home like once or twice a year. I stay in my brother's house since they live in another city far from us. God bless!
