My sibs and I mostly have houses within 5-10 miles of one another. The furthest brother is maybe 25 miles away. My mom’s house is <2 miles away and her CCRC is about 3 miles from our house as well. Pre-Covid, we would gather about monthly or more often. When the kids were young, we’d often gather at my folks house for swimming and dinner.

Sadly my kids live 3000-5000 miles away but have been having long visits during these Covid times. In S’s case, he’s made multiple flights here. D just stays for up to months at a time.
