I think the saddest thing is how people fade from your life, not with a bang, but with a quiet absence you barely notice until it’s complete.

kinda sounds like me and my family (aunts uncles and cousins) overseas in europe... i only have a brother here but i don't think we'll fade. but i wish i could reconnect with my overseas family...i haven't seen them in 30 years...heard from some when i had to tell some when my parents passed though
