my parents came to visit this past weekend. and we had a really great time.
they are generous and fun and interesting people. and, i love spending time with them, and just talking. they have become some of the best friends i have in the world.
but, because wallace and i decided to move down here to atlanta, and my parents still live in central pennsylvania, we only have little bits of time to spend with one another. a couple days here, and couple more days here... it's hardly ever enough.
i'm very glad we live here, for many different reasons, not the least of which is that wallace wouldn't be as successful as he is, if not for our being here. because in his areas of expertise, there just aren't that many jobs for people in central pennsylvania, but there are plenty here, enough to pick and choose the good ones.
but, i'm still stuck with the only a little bit of time here and there issue. and, i don't know what to do about it. the differences between speaking to someone on the phone daily and being in someone's presence are vastly huge. not even close.
and, i'm afraid that life is too short to only spend time with the people we love most in tiny parceled bits.
i just need to figure out how to fix this.
