OT/how do you handle it?

Posted by rrlund on March 21, 2010 at 08:51:37 from (216.46.212.237):

Don't mind me,it's just a gloomy day and I'm missing the south so much I could almost cry.
The only thing in the world keeping me and the wife here in this miserable state of unemployment and depression called Michigan is the fact that all three of our adult kids and our two grandkids are here.
Question for you guys who don't live all that near to your kids. How is it? Their birthdays,the holidays that it's just you and the wife because they can't make it to where you are and vice versa? Do you just get used to it to the point that it doesn't bother you?
Even though two of them are within minutes of us,we still don't see them very often. The other one and the grandkids are just over an hour away,but birthdays and holidays we usually see them at least for a few minutes if nothing else.
I don't know,just need to know that we'll survive if we leave,that's all. A good friend who left several years ago told me the first time we went to visit him and his wife,there's life outside Sheridan. Boy,don't I know that. The only time I FEEL alive is when I'm out of this place.
