Tech help us for blow away our cravings of communicating with our love ones.For an instance, how we skype with mom at kampung. We really miss her, we want to skype just to see her face or what cooking she makes for dinner.
Let say if I had to get separated with my children, because of my employer required me to station outside of my local area for a long time, I definitely follow advises from Diana Mercer
She wrote:
Every few days plan to read or tell your child a favorite or familiar story over the phone (or by webcam) before bed, like Goodnight, Moon or your own favorite story from childhood. The story can be short, less than 15 minutes long. If you each have your own copy of the story, you can turn the pages together even though you aren’t in the same room. This is particularly good for a smaller child as it’s interactive.
While a long distance relationship is not as healthy as a close relationship, sometimes you have no choice if your work is transferable to any available branches. Perhaps you should seek a new job that is closer to your family. For person like me who don’t believe in long distance relationship, I will always keep looking for a new job if I ever get transfered to another branch.

where are you working now? I can’t imagine working somewhere so far away from my kids either. I’ve never leave them overnight too.
