I have lived long distances from my family for 18 years and primarily call and text to stay in contact. Occasionally we will share pictures on facebook, but I do not enjoy social media so I try hard to avoid it. Texting has made the biggest impact on our communication as it has become our primary means of chatting. We text about once per week…
