Make a move before it's too late. Or convince them to move close to you.

If you love being with your parents, your window of doing so is fast shrinking.

My dad is already gone, I know exactly what you mean. My wife's family (her mom is gone) is from very far away from my family, so there is no great option for us.

The above isn't just about parents. My siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts.
