My closest family is 2,500km away. The rest are over 3,000km. I go back once a year usually to see my immediate family. My parents usually come here once a year. If my sister didn't have kids, I'd probably never go back, but I miss my nieces.

My FIL lives just down the road from us, but I don't really consider him family. We aren't close at all and I"m not happy he followed us up here.
