I envy you. I have a cousin living the same city 45 minutes away, and my parents live in another country that is a 3 hour drive away. We moved here because of my job, which I love, but while raising our two children, I sorely miss the support structure that an expanded family provides. I also grew up in a similar situation, little to no family living in the same city, but my parents had many, many friends in the neighbourhood within walking distance. They might as well have been family. Now, where I am now, I find it hard to relate to my neighbours (maybe it's me, maybe it's them, I don't know). I don't think I'll ever be able to integrate into the community like my parents did, and we don't have family nearby that we can rely upon on a moments notice. Would I trade my current job for somewhere closer to family? That's a difficulty choice to make for me, as there's too many unknowns. I wish it were an easy one.
