So it appears that the consensus is most feel that family is needed. Family whether near or far are a needed resource. Just knowing that they are there for you no matter what, makes you stand tall when the enemy is all around you. Its like the coat of armor.

I too live very far away from my family...over the past year key family members My sister, and her family including new 1 month old baby) have moved back to our home town in the maritimes, the east coast of Canada and I am still living on the pacific in BC. I agree with Darline that when life brings adversity it makes you realize how important being close in, say, driving proximity, is. That, and every time I visit and it takes me 3 airplanes and one day loss to get there, it reminds me just how far apart we really are.

Hi Shanah,
I just sent you a friend invitation and happened to take a look at your blog post. I live very far away from family and friends, in Texas, and after a particularly difficult year, told my husband that it's time to move closer. We are looking to relocate back to the east coast in the next 12-18 months. Looking forward to networking with you more. Darline
