So I have an aunt, an uncle, and three cousins that moved out of state. It broke my heart when I first heard they were leaving, and I only get to see them once a year. I was so close to all of them, especially one cousin in particular. Let's call him A.

A and I have been like best friends ever since we met. We were close about everything, and had the kind of relationship where you could talk about everything together because we weren't afraid to. We trusted each other & have only fought ONCE! We have an incredible bond like no one else... nobody can ever break that bond.

Whenever we get together, it's never awkward between us. The Tom-Boy just comes right out in me and I love that. He brings out something in me, a side that no one else can bring out.

It's probably been about 2 or 3 years since they've moved and I've grown used to it. He's 12 and I'm 13. We're both at the age where we understand what's going on. We can only see each other once a year and it breaks my heart.

On a higher note, we've been communicating through e-mail which is great. It's so fantastic to still be talking to him even if it's not in person. It lets me know he's always there to talk to me even though he's 2 million miles away. :)

So my question is, how can I tell him I miss him without sounding all sappy and mushy?
We've never talked like that before.

Thanks!

It's hard when someone so close to you moves away like that. But just think, it could be worse. At least he's still around, and your family, so he's always gonna be there.

Call him up sometime, and just tell him "I wish you still lived here" or "It really sucks that we can't hang out everyday like we used to" something casual like that. That's not too mushy. You're family, you're supposed to miss each other.

Another suggestion, maybe invest in a long-distance calling plan so that you can call him a couple times a week so you guys can catch up and still be a part of each other's lives. Modern technology makes it a lot easier for people to stay connected. AIM is a good way too.

Also, I don't know if this would be an option to you, but talk to your parents about maybe saving up some of your allowance to buy a plane ticket to go visit him a few more times a year.

I'm sorry for your situation. I'm sure that he misses you too and wants to hear from you more often.

I hope that I helped.
