We weren't very close, because he lived on the other side of the country, but I feel so upset for my Dad - he was his last living relative from his own immediate family. I wish I could go to the funeral to help support him but it's so far away. I won't be able to be with my parents for a few weeks at least... and talking on the phone seems so inadequate. :( What can I say?
This is the only time I've felt kind of bad about not living closer to home (not that I'm far away, but I don't have a car and just a weekend visit can be expensive). :shrug:

2. Sorry about your uncle |
|
I'm across the country from my family too. It's tough sometimes. I've missed several funerals I feel I should have attended.

3. I feel bad because I'm going home |
|
for the bad times... and it makes me feel guilty about not being there enough for the regular times. If that makes sense.

I have an aunt in the Denver area. We get along rather well, though I live in Michigan.
I'm sorry to hear about Uncle, though. I'll be thinking about you.

6. Best to you and your family in this difficult time |
|
I know how hard it is to lose someone, even if you are not close. I moved back to NY from Oregon after my dad died. That is what convinced me I was too far away. Plus I needed to be here for my mom. I am very sorry for you and your dad.

I decided to go home for the 4th of July. A nice long weekend to be together, though not as celebratory as usual.
