Long distance families in the new millennium
I have an adorable niece about 5 months old, who I haven’t seen in person yet. I had the pleasure of video conferencing with my brother and his family just about now. She was stunning just turned 5 months and already crawling. We don’t get to have many of these occasions due to time difference and life engagement. But when we do it’s like a reunion for me.
This is one of many reason’s that I’m grateful for internet. If this was 20years ago, I would have to wait to for her picture in mail. God knows how long would that be then.
There many families like us, as I call Long distant family, who are living in different countries or in our case different continent. I think because of internet our quality of family bonding and family life is better and stronger. I know my brother is just an e-mail away or my nice a video conference away.
This is not as good as the real thing, beinig able to hold her and play with her. But I take what I get. And I hope all long distance families out there use the power of internet to get closer and enjoy their lives together.
Until Later,
