Distance from family can grow love too. Some relationships get better with a few hundred miles.

Closeness is not the same thing as proximity. Some relationships improve once there is a little room, because the daily friction disappears and what remains is a real choice about when to talk. Missing somebody is easier than being irritated by them across a hallway. Going does not have to mean loving less.

If a move is coming, decide how you will stay in touch before you leave, a regular call or a standing visit. Settling it in advance keeps the distance from doing the choosing for you.
