My mom and her husband moved to New Mexico from New Hampshire about 5 years ago. My brother followed her and lived there for 4 years. It was hard to be so far away from them for many years for Christmas. I had my grandparents and my Dad here and my fiances family is always welcoming to me, but it was not the same. My bro & his wife moved back with their 2 kids, but they are now divorcing
Very hard! The BEST gifts I got this year, was Christmas morning with my nephews opening their gifts (well 1 of them is too young to know) and my brother finally (for the first time in 10 years) coming to my Dads house. I don't know if this will be the first step in a reconciliation for them, but it was AWESOME to be at my Dads house with my 2 brothers, my fiance and his 2 kids! Best gift I got this year... by far!
