I love you long distance, across all those miles. Sometimes parents divorce. And sometimes cherished members of the family - grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins - live too far away to see every day. This story, written from the child's point of view, is a love letter to those who may not be geographically near but remain very close at heart.
