Families are strange things. Suzette is complaining that her family never realise how much she misses things from Canada, and that while she sees her friends on LJ living in other countries getting 'care packages' from home, she has to almost beg her family for anything. While my family is either so busy you have to make appointments months ahead to see them, or they just dont care to get together and spend time with each other now my mum is dead (she was the organiser of all family life it seems).
So we have Easter with Suzette's family in Canada having a big family get-together that makes her feel homesick, and mine are doing nothing because my Dad, who lives 15 min walk away, doesn't think of it and would probably just suggest whatever is the least hassle for him (yet another quick lunch out at the pub), and my brother and his wife live in Manchester (too far away for anything that doesn't involve staying over) and are too busy to do anything anyway -especially at Easter since they both work for the church.
