Not everyone is the same, of course. In the days when letters were the only way to communicate, some people corresponded on a regular basis for the rest of their lives. Other people would move away, and never communicate with their family again. It is very possible to remain close to people over a distance. If people would do it when they had to use a quill and paper, people can do it when communications are instant.
