I feel so very fortunate to have my little family because I know what it is like to have none. I felt the need to share this with you all. At the moment, I am living in a separate state from my family and I really miss them. My heart hurts…I long to be with them.

This frog of little brain hurts along with you. It is so difficult to keep in touch with family. And because you found your family later in life it has to be more difficult.

My family is spread out all over. Both of my sons are in the military so whenever I ask where they are they come back with the smart remark "if I tell you then I would have to kill you", which pin points it on the world map exactly.

We started this practice when they first invented chat room. Lets see which decade was that. Everyone knows the day and time and we meet every week. Not everyone can make it every week but everyone who can joins in.

As a frog of little brain I'm sure there are much better ways of keeping in touch these days, but it works for us. And it helps to make the family closer together.
