Rare? Interesting. I think immigrant - particularly those sending remittances home to family members - had to develop and hone this skill.

Very wise advice, Karena!

"Learning that we are forever loved.

Learning how to survive the moments apart, and how to thrive away.

Discovering ways to stay connected across place, space, and time.

These are heirloom skills.

Separation is a state of mind, not miles."

Fair point. I was reflecting on my friends, family, and their friends and how those relationships have faded over the years.
