I moved from the UK to the US four years ago and miss my family . I speak to my mother, who is quite old and lives alone, once a week (I also write and send photo's). I speak to my sister more often and you'd hardly guess how long it is since we have actually seen each other(though it seems like days since she called me!). I also have a brother but I'm sorry to say I wouldn't cross the road to speak to him he really isn't a pleasant person.

Families can be so much more complicated than mere friendships. Just remember that if you wish to speak to either one don't always wait for them to make the first move it takes two to hold a conversation. My mother always says oh I haven't heard from so 'n so and I say well have you rang them and she says no of course not! DUH!

I talk to my Mom about 5 times a week. I talk to my daughter almost every day on yahoo messenger.I talk to my Son about once a week.I call a cousin of mine about once a month. Other than that I only rarely talk to other family members.

Computers make it so much easier to keep in touch these days I have great respect now for all the English war brides who came to America after WWII leaving family and everything they knew so far away they must have been an amazing bunch of women with none of our modern day conveniences like Phones and computers

I talk to my mother everyday. My father calls several times a week. My sister and I talk a few times a week as well as one of my brothers. I have another brother that I talk to maybe once every 2 weeks, but I talk to his wife several times a week. I have 2 other brothers that I do not talk to very often. Maybe once a month to one of them and twice a year to the other.
