General Chat

My only sister (6 years younger than me) has gone to live in Turkey. Seems strange that she is no longer living in our home town. We didn't see a lot of each other but always knew she was there. Feels strange.

Aw bless you AnnG, that would be strange, but then you can go visit and have a nice holiday too:))
All my sisters have lived away from me apart from one who was quite near in Sussex, she's still there but we're here, miss her cause she visited every week:((

Hope it works out for your sister:)

Dear Ann. My sister lives fifty miles away from me so we see each other as often as we can. However, she now spends much of her time in Turkey, I think she will eventually go and live there. I will miss her if she goes, but will look forward to the holidays.
BIL has already asked if they can stay with us when they come back to UK for holidays. Good luck to your sister what an adventure <3

You've got to accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with mister inbetween

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
have faith, a pandemonium
Liable to walk up on the scene

C'mon Ann, cheer up you get holidays into the bargain and you never know you may even get to see her more as visits would be longer.

Ann keep smiling your big smile.....

If your sister is anything like my two sisters she would hate for you to be too unhappy....Your are bound to miss her....I would be lost without mine

Your sister will always be your sister in your heart <3

Good Luck to your sister and also to you <3

Thanks all. No chance of visiting her, nothing will make my OH go to Turkey for some reason.

Erroll Lol!!! Yes I know.

She is very brave to do it as she is on her own although has been going there for holidays for some time and has friends among the ex pats.
Paula, she has already told me she is coming to visit next year. She is only renting for a year while she makes a final decision then she hopes to sell here and buy there. She has fibromyalgia and says that the climate suits her better there.


sue we already have more holidays than the garden can cope with!!! :-D

IF YOUR SISTER CAN GO AND LIVE IN
TURKEY ALONE,WHY CANT YOU VISIT ALONE
WITHOUT OH

Ann,I know how you feel .As you know I have a son and family and a step son living in Oz....It's very hard at first to get used to it,but you do.
There are times when it does get to you....but they have their own lives..
You are lucky to have a sister...I was an only child...always wanted one.
As Gwen says...have a trip on your own sometime and a girly time!!
Hope she likes it as it is so different living there to going on holiday.
Im hoping to go and visit with my American friends who live and work in Bursa,Turkey.
Maybe in Autumn!!

Awww Ann don't be sad. If your OH wont travel there then I am sure there is someone who would accompany you, merely as a chaperone of course ;-) ;-)

I have no sister but I sorely miss the two brothers who died young and the three who are left are a waste of space! :-D

Aww Poor you know how you feel son emigrated to Oz with family (4 g/children) last year Oh we miss them...should be a law no one allowed to emigrate :-( Hope you can go and visit you sister soon though. :-)

Nothing I can add Ann. I have two sisters, both in the uk, one a 4 hour train journey away, the other a six hour trip. no dropping in for coffee, or meeting for lunch so do understand to a degree.
Hope your sister settles and that you get to meet up before too long :-)

:-D I never fancied going to Turkey either so doubt I would go.

Incidentally there would be no staying with her as she only has a one bed apartment.

ah sorry you'll miss your sister and don't fancy a Turkey holiday...we've been and also family and really enjoyed the time there. We found the locals very friendly...go on have an adventure :-D and get 'stuck up' in the mud glorious mud baths ;-) :-D

It must be terrible to have sister living so far away. My daughter has just been to Oz, fell in love with place and we do worry that she and husband (and hoped for grandchildren) will move to Oz eventually.

I ask this in all innocence. Does it help if you both have a camera on computer and can talk to each other via computers?

Ann, I have only just come on line, sorry to hear that your sister has moved country,
you will have to get skype then you can chat to each other, who knows maybe after a while she may want to come back home, but it must be a sad time for, sending hugs and love to you ((((((((((((((((((((( <3 ))))))))))))))))))))))

Love Jean xx <3

AnningGlos, you should give Turkey a try, cracking place and lovely people, you never know you just might enjoy it there.

George :-)

John Skype is marvellous we see and speak to our 2 son's in the Snowy Mts Aus and their families ,,,It's not the same as having them here but so much better than a phone call or letter . Mind you John it is very hard to get into Aus you have a points system so even if your daur and family want to go they may not qualify the Aus system are very clever and let in people that they think their country are needing. And John if se should go and she is your only child then you and her Mum would get in reasonably easily I should think , we on the other hand have 2 in Oz + 5 g/kids but 4 children with their families in this country so can't up sticks and go (though been a couple of times on hol) a lovely place but not everyone enjoys the heat . (unless like my lot and go and stay in the Snowy's skiing resort and are moaning there is no snow yet and the skiing season starts this week! but very cold.

It's always painful when a loved one moves away.........hopefully, you will find a way to keep in regular touch till she visits. Sending love....... <3
