Day 12: Something You Miss

This one is so easy! What do I miss? Living close to family. My sister and I are 17 months apart. And we were primarily raised by our mom. We had visitation with dad and that was great but primarily it was the 3 of us! And we were and still are very close! Sister and I shared a room until I was 15 (not by choice but it wasn't bad at all.) And after moving away from home for college, sister and I got closer - didn't even think that was possible! I always thought after college we'd move back home and live near each other. Nope, she's in Texas with her beautiful family and I'm in Maryland with mine. It isn't ideal, but it is what it is. We all talk daily, mom sis and I. We skype sometimes so the kids can see my face. The little one doesn't yet remember me and that makes me sad. But the older one does! And she looks forward to my visits and playing with me and showing me things and "teaching" me what she's learned. My sister is such a great mom. And she and my bil are doing a great job with their girls! I see my mom every other month and And she visits my sister every other month. Her job comes with some perks that make that possible! So that's what I miss - being close to my family. I am so thankful that my Husband also comes from a close knit family so he understands when I spend an hour or so talking to my sister or mom. And if I get to missing them too much, we make plans for me to visit as soon as possible! I am blessed beyond measure with my family!
