My parents and parents-in-law are getting older and weaker by each passing day. We are separated by thousands of miles and I only get to see them once a year. With each visit, they look different. Their faces change with more wrinkles, their hair has grown thinner and they have become more fragile – the sure signs of aging. Sometimes when I miss them really badly, I realize I have difficulty picturing their faces accurately in my mind. I’m very afraid that one day I will not be able to remember their faces anymore and we become total strangers.
