What is "keeping in touch with your family" means to you?

Question

Text messaging is quite cheap nowadays. So, do you always text message your family? or call them? or email them? or send them post card? or anything???

When was the last time you were in touch with your parents? or children?

Does family bonding means a lot to you? Or something to you? Have you ever thought of how your parents showered you with their love and care before, and they were so sad to let you go, eventho' they realized that it was just meant to be??

Just 4 answers by 4 loving persons.
Does this signify something about the world right now??

I think I should extend this Q a little bit longer. Don't u think so???

I really want to know whether family ties is considered as important as the "money and power".

Yaechtttt!!!!! 3 days and still 4???

hank you guys for reading my Q carefully. I know giving a point each for your answer doesn’t complement the love and ties you have with your family. I wish you all the best in everything you do.

Answer 1

I speak to my daughters everyday, sometimes more than once. We talk on the phone, one of my daughters lives in town and the other doesn't. I see the one out of town at least once a month and the one in town about once a week. They talk to their dad every day, he lives in another state.

I talk to my mother when I absolutely have to and have put it off as long as I can. My parents provided a good home and extras for me, but the price I paid with my manipulative mother and ineffectual father evens the score. My kids on the other hand deserve my attention, and apparently they believe I do too.

Answer 2

It's very important to me because we live so far away from each other ( not to far but far enough 3 1/2 hrs.) I talk to my son and grandson as often as possible. Either on the phone or im. Only one child do I have and he is the heart of my soul. Then of course my grandson and daughter-in-law are very special to me too. My father I try to talk to when I can, probably not enough, but he's never around when I call. I feel lucky when I do catch him. Family is very important to me because I've lost so many of them that I feel empty inside. I know this may sound goofy but I talk to my sis, brother, husband, mom, mom-in-law,nephew and others all the time as if they were still here. I miss them so much, one day we'll be together again, I really believe that. This is really spooky because I was just talking to my little sis and she's gone. I hope and pray that they really do hear us. I guess that's about it for now. Talk to you later.

Answer 3

My parents don't have a cell phone, and four years ago my relationship took me 800 miles away from them. We're extremely close, so we write letters constantly. We don't use the computer very often, although it looks like that will change soon. We can't call very often because it costs a great deal, but we call when we can. Mainly, it's very frequent--and very long--letters.

My parents just visited me two weeks ago and stayed with us for a week. They stay here for a week every summer, and try to visit again for a week some other time in the year if possible.

They are incredibly important to me, and vice versa. I think about what they've done for me frequently, and we think about each other every day. When I have a cell phone with unlimited minutes........I will use them on my parents.

Answer 4

I keep in touch with my family daily... I speak to my mom just about every day... I just spent 10 days with my mom and dad with my 3 kiddos...

It's VERY important to me that we all have a very close relationship. I speak to my sister and my grandma weekly.

Anytime we have a family get together I am there with my kids and hubby.

My in-laws will be here the end of the month and we always spend holidays with family members.

I hope that when my children grow up they will want to spend time with my husband and myself as I want to spend with my family. So many people just move away and don't look back. I am in Co. and my parents in AZ... I still see them about 4 to 6 times each year! It's important to me and more important that my children have a very close relationship with my parents as well.

Answer 5

I make it a promise to myself to visit my Dad once a month, though we live 2 1/2 hours from each other. It's a huge improvement from my actions in the past, and it's been great for both of us. I could call him more, but I don't. He could call me too, but doesn't. I don't fuss at him about that, and he doesn't fuss at me either. We have a wonderful relationship. He's 85 and I don't visit him on Thursdays for long because he tells me that he has to go to his penny poker game at 2:30. I find that amusing and wonderful that he still plays poker on Thursdays like he's been doing since before I was born. And though he could well afford much more, he has never lost or gained more than around 5-10 dollars each session.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Sweet, family is all you have and can trust. Good or bad they will be there to resolve your problem. All others are acquaintances, for they come and go. This even applies to your husband. lol
