Claire
Master Chef
I suspect that my sibs and I will drift apart when the parents pass on. All of them decided to live in Florida. I tried to, but it just wasn't for us. All had kids, we're childless by choice. I thoroughly enjoy their company and love them dearly. But as the years pass we have less and less in common. We always have a wonderful time when we get together, but a minimum 3-day trek to Florida isn't going to happen every year the way it is now. I know that at their ages, we need to get down to see them every year, and every once in awhile it has been health issues and will probably be more so in the future. But my sibs aren't "pick up the phone and call Claire" types, just to talk. So it is mostly that I try to time my calls to the folks when my sibs will be there and we all talk together.
