My wife and I bought a house across the street from my sister in 2016. I was really reluctant to do it, to be honest; I thought I was getting myself into an Everybody Loves Raymond situation where she'd be popping into our home uninvited all the time. But she moved away a few years ago, and we miss seeing her every day. We miss my little niece and nephew running around outside screaming, or running across the street to tell us about a toad they found or something their dad is doing. We even miss her annoying little dogs constantly getting off their chains so they could run across the street and into our backyard where our dogs would go ballistic.
