Ever since we moved back from florida I have been trying to call my sister and brother but so far no answers. I sent a letter to my sister and to my granna the other day so I guess we will see what happens from there. I have also been trying to email my family about once a month or so and send a few pictures here and there. I don’t feel like I am getting anything back from my family but I guess that isn’t the point. I have to reach out all I can.
People doing this are also doing these things:

Went back home to visit. It was good. I’m not the best at keeping in touch so this was a really good thing. It’s not that I don’t love them or care, I just have a hard time keeping in touch. So much easier when you’re there. I’m going to try and call more often, and email. This is a good goal. I love my family, I just need to take the time.
I chatted online with my little cousin last night. I remember these girls being like 8 and now suddenly they are 18 and in college.
Emily updated me on how things are going on in the family more than anyone else has in weeks.
I feel like I actually have someone to keep me updated now.
Better than nothing
My family just produces a lot of drama so it wasn’t worth keeping in touch with them… the head aches outweighed any benifit.
I’ll send a picture and note each month to extended family starting April 2005.
