Keep in touch with my family more

I was in the Navy which moved me away from home. I feel so lonely most of the time, because I am a huge family person!!! My family mean the world to me! I live 900 miles away from all of them thuogh, and its hard to go home because of my financial situation. When I hear about things going wrong I feel guilty because I cant help. When I hear that my neice took her first step or my nephew said his first words, I should fele joy but instead I feel sad. I work so much that its extrememly difficult for me to call my family when I have free time, which isnt often.

I just miss them all so much : ( I wish I were closer!

I find this goal particularly difficult. My siblings and I have grown so distant. This fact makes me sad, but at the same time, I do nothing to change it. I feel I’m mostly to blame, but it’s hard not to think that a phone call is just as easy for one person to make as another. When it gets late at night, like right now, I feel the sting of this great disconnect more acutely.

I amr eally slack with correspondence, i havnt spoken to my grnadparents in years, i chat to my cousins and Aunty sometimes on facebook, and myspace. i have think i should write to my Nanna and grandad, you know because they dont have computers and they are old, and I love getting letters that aren’t bills…I better go and buy some stamps :D
