That sucks man, hopefully you'll get to see them soon. When I was living in SLC, Utah with my new girlfriend Amanda, I missed my family back home in Arkansas and Missouri like crazy. She finally came back with me to Missouri, I'm so glad cause I hated Utah!! But yeah, it sucks when you have to be away from people you care about.
I got two sons. My oldest doesn't live with me, he's by my last wife. I try to see him at least twice a month, but with gas prices it's getting harder to pull off. I don't wanna live any closer to my ex than i do already tho, lol.
