Family Closeness



Denise posted pictures of a trip she and her family just took on facebook.  She is indeed lucky.  But that did get me thinking.  I am close to my boys.  Mike is one of my closest relationships, which is why I struggle with the addiction aspect.  Doug and I are close, but 2500 miles separate us most of the time.  I think it goes without saying I am very very very close to my grandchildren.  Since they live with me.  :P  I think it is all a matter of perspective.
I think I may be envious of her proximity to all of her children.  And maybe how she gets to be grandma and do all these wonderful things and then send them home.  I get to do wonderful things and then put them to bed.  Not too much spoiling going on here since we are parenting.  But you know....I wouldn't trade.  I love my life and I love Denise's life.  We are both indeed blessed. And her family is my family....just 1700 miles apart.
Oh and I harvested the above picture from facebook.
