    Although I now have a big family Spud, none of them live near us......they are nearer to you!!!! They would drive me mental if any of them lived nearer...

    It means I remember them with fondness instead of reality....

    To be honest, although I'd love to have my parents back, we just get on with life most of the time. No point dwelling, is there :rolleyes:

    It's just occasionally that I wonder whether my kids are missing out ;)
