Lots of wonderful in-laws.
I had only one living relative until I got married again a few years ago now have lots
A lot of that is due to me moving every few years. I think I’ve just bought my last house and have only lived here for about 6 months.
But I have kept a couple of my old doctor. I would have to travel 200 miles to see them, but now we can have phone visits.
