I miss my cousins, aunt, and uncle
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!

Hi
I went through your question rather I say emotions which you hold for the next. You know memories sometime behave in a crazy way, they leave you alone when you are in a crowd and when you are alone they stand like a crowd. Your problem is not that you are not able to express but you don't know what to express.
When we understand a fellow very deeply it creates a bond of attachment and this attachment is inarticulated.In absence of that concern, we feel restless and miss very much which is a natural state of mind. There is no degree of defining how much an individual can miss another.
Don't let your feeling to spread and your mind in dilemma. If you want to express your emotions then first give name to it because without knowing your goal, how can you move towards it?
Once it all happens and you are fully convinced with your self then contact him and precisely in your own terms express your self
Thanks and regards

Aww. I moved a state away from my family (i live in australia) and i only get to see my whole family once a year, and sometimes that doesnt even happen. Its great you've kept contact with him and you guys can still talk. Odds are he's probably missing you just as much. You can say what the previous advice said or you could try something new and be sappy and mushy. I mean you guys talk about everything so it could broaden your friendships even more (learning just a little more about each other). I don't really have anything to add to this lol but im sorry about your family. What i do when i want to talk to my grandparents is send them a letter. My grandma LOVES it and ALWAYS writes back. Its just a new way to keep contact and it's so old fashioned and interesting way to talk to someone. Just an idea. Love xXxPuNki-PiXiExXx

When you're emailing each other, tell him "It sucks we can't see each more than just once a year. I really miss you!"
It sounds casually, & not at all sappy.

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.
