It's a pity that life circumstances means you're all so spread out. I think my parents feel the same way with their grandkids especially as they were growing up as we live a decent flight away from each other.
Yay for them being able to come down to visit! It will be glorious :D
Yeah, it's good to know my brother's and sister have pursued their goals and that's taken them to where they are but it means we all miss out on a lot. Them coming down will be great and maybe I'll get up to Cairns later next year to see them in return.
