No chance of spending it family as they are scattered all over New South Wales. Both parents are gone, I'm an only child and my ex and children are as far apart as the Central Coast and Broken Hill! In addition, I haven't spoken to my eldest daughter since she was 15. She's now 35, married with two kids.

Anyway, thank you for the kind thoughts!
