I have a feeling you see your family and friends enough.  My comments weren't meant as a criticism but were an observation.  I live 2000 miles from my child and would love to see them more.  It's unfortunate that people who live and hour away from their kids complain that it's just too far and they don't see them very often.  I would love to be an hour away.  

I'm relatively certain many people like you see family, friends and get to go other places too.
