My parents are both dead. Sharons dad is also dead, her mother is a five minute drive away. But she may as well be five hours away as she is not talking to me and barely talking to Sharon over the wedding. My sister is only afifteen minute walk away. Not fallen out but only talk when we have something to say to each other, Spud

My parents live in the same town as me, so I am able to see them whenever I want, but I am sure that not every one is so lucky, so how far away are you from your loved ones?
