Just a thought. When I moved farther from home
(was a good 7-8 hours away
), I couldn't really afford the drive more than a couple times a year. So I set aside a time for each family member on Sunday afternoon. I would call everyone every Sunday, at exactly the same time, and talk for 15 min to 1 hour
(depended on the family member
). I actually got told by my grandparents and parents how much they appreciated this. I was always connected to them and they knew when to expect my call. They actually worried if I was a few minutes late. This let me feel connected to them in a predictable way and I felt much less lonely or neglected. But I made the effort; I didn't wait around for them to do it. Sometimes they would actually call me on their own on Sundays, lol. My mamo told me it was the highlight of her Sundays before she passed. Just a thought.
