As for my family, well both parents are dead now, I have two Daughters a Granddaughter, and two Grandsons (the youngest is 1 tomorrow) I see my eldest every week and speak to her a few times a week on the phone, she lives in Accy, I have a little problem with seeing my youngest, she lives in Vietnam and I see her twice a year Christmas and June, but we do get together when we can
I'm stuborn, as well as friendly, so eventually beat them down. In the end I became good friends with the girl who lived in the flat upstairs.
