    I moved half a world away recently but before then I made a point to visit them once a week (they're in their 70s). Nowadays we have to settle for weekly video calls on Facebook. In most of these calls, we don't even talk that much. We often basically had the call on just so they can watch my kid go about his morning.

    I grew up with my parents and only moved out when I was in my later 30s, and deep down still regret a little that I didn't make too much effort to build a relationship with them.
