We stay in touch on Facebook, Livejournal, email, phone, sometimes snail mail (but less of that lately, online is just so much quicker and free). I mostly exchange gifts with just a few, and usually ones that live nearby. I love just because gifts and would always help a friend out, that's what friends are for! :-) I have wonderful friends all over the globe…I wish I had the money to visit them all, and vice-versa, but sadly that’s not happening.

It makes me feel very loved indeed. I have awesome friends who spent HOURS of their own personal time making the whole Six Wives thing happen. It makes me feel very loved indeed.

I really can't afford to visit her, although I did pay for my adult daughter to visit. My sister still owns her home here, in addition to an apartment in Sweden. She is able to work in Sweden for 3 weeks and fly home for 1 week or so, and we stay in touch with e-mail and phone calls. We stopped exchanging gifts 25 years ago, and instead chose to spend quality time together...just the two of us doing something, or going somewhere special and meaningful. But, we still send cards. No physical gift can ever match the gift of time or assistance!! My sister is my best friend and she lives in Sweden.
