Dotsie..yours truely in Sweden and my oldest living daughter in Pennsylvania, with her family..we see eachother about once a year..sometimes everyother year..depending on our finances. She´s more of a traveler than I am, I am ashamed to say..We keep in touch via the net..facebook actually. Fotos are great..or videos. They just bought a puppy..

However..my daughter has troubles with her sister and her brother..the 2 middle adult kids, who are living in Sweden. I think it´s because of differences in cultures..they just can´t seem to "meet". This is very painful, especially for my daughter in the States. She visits here and looks forward to meeting everyone..but it kinda ends in problems for everyone. Not easy..my daughter in the States misses out on what is happening here..she isn´t here for the "process" but still has her opinions..and this can lead to misunderstandings..unfortunately. And, of course, her sister and brother aren´t where she is at either. But we live much farther apart than you will..different countries, to start with. I still believe that blood is thicker than water...
