That's why families started having reunions so everyone could get together can catch up with those now distant relatives. I think it is more rare now for a family to stay where they grew up all their lives.

Increased distance tends to lead to decreased communication. As now instead of being able to get together more often or catch up when you "run into them" a more dedicated effort it required to communicate.
Wow….this is definitely something for me to think about.
Why? That's just life.

If you could, would you just not see those relatives at all? Sometimes I don't see the point of seeing people that aren't nice just because they are relatives. No communication all year long (or longer) and then an "obligatory" visit of a person we don't like. Not sure the point.
