This is how I try to make myself feel better about moving to Georgia : I want to see my family at least 3-4 times a year. Every year. Maybe we can make a trip or two a year. And then they (mom, dad, and brother) can visit us once or twice a year. The visits should be spaced evenly throughout the year, ideally every four months. See, every four months to me seems manageable, thinkable. I would try to view it as a hiatus of my favorite show or something. Yeah. I know. I am weird. I wouldn't miss them as much and they wouldn't miss us as much. We/they could then stay for a week or so each time. That would be so groovy. Yes groovy. I just want them to be able to see my children grow up. They have grown so attached to my son and now there is my baby daughter. And well, I dig my family.
