Since moving to another city for work, I’ve been constantly worried about my parents who still live in our hometown. They’re pretty independent, but I can tell they feel the distance when something small comes up, like carrying groceries or getting to a doctor’s appointment. I call often, but calls aren’t the same as knowing someone actually stops by to check on them. I keep wondering if there’s a way to make sure they’re supported without me feeling guilty for not being there every day. Has anyone else found a solution for this kind of situation?

I think this is something a lot of families can relate to nowadays, since it’s so common for children and parents to live in different cities or even countries. Regular visits from someone reliable can really help bridge that gap. It’s not just about the practical support but also the comfort of knowing someone is present. Reading this thread makes me realize how important it is to talk openly about these worries instead of just carrying them silently.
