My family has lived in a different state for about 10 years now. I've gone to visit them several times, every year or two. My mother has visited me here once.

The thing is, my mom and sister are *always* going on and on about "oh, I'm going to come visit this fall", "this winter", "next spring", "next year" - whatever. And they never do. I mean, I'm over it by now - I know they aren't going to come visit me. But why do they keep telling me they are going to?

So now, my sister sends me an email and tells me that a woman she met while abroad is going to be visiting a city near mine, and so she might come to visit me. This just irritates me, in the past decade, she can't come out to visit me... but if some person from some other country is going to be here... she's coming. What a turd.
