sending you huge (((((((HUGS)))))))) I know how you feel. My husband moved to the USA for me and this year will be the first time that he's seen his brother in over 5 years. He still hasn't seen his mom. Most of my family is in Italy and I haven't seen them in over a decade.
Get Skype - it's great and free to talk and you can webcam at the same time. That's how we've managed to survive so long. My husband's mother has actually never seen in person her granddaughter, and this year for Christmas will be his brothers first time ever seeing his niece.
