I've lived near Washington, DC since right after college graduation, 20 years ago. But the rest of my family is still in Connecticut and New York, where I grew up. If I could move for a year, I'd go back there. I don't spend enough time there to truly know the newer additions to the family (spouses and kids); seeing them for a weekend here and there just isn't the same as being part of their lives day in and day out. I'd like to be able to help my parents more, do some of the practical stuff my brother's family needs as his wife goes through chemo, help my kids develop deeper relationships with their cousins, etc.
