Torn in Between the TWO!

Hi Everyone! I know, I know, I've been writing too much on this thing already, but I had something on my mind that has been bothering me that came up today and thought that I could write it and share it with you all. My family always had this problem with which family to stay with the most. My dad's family doesn't live here in the bay but my mom's family does. All my dad's family live in Utah and my mother's family live here in the Bay, UT, TX, Seattle..etc. Problem is, I love both families to death but it seems like we only know ONE. I don't like the feeling, I want to be able to be close with both families. Long story short, both of my families are having a Family Reunion on the same weekend. Ever since I was a young girl, a big event from both families would happen on the same day but our family always went to my mom's family. It's not a bad thing, I love them but it's gotten to a point where me and my brother and sisters don't even remember our first cousins names from our dad's side. I don't like to miss out on precious times with my family, I want to be able to take the time SEPERATELY to be with each family and every time we miss an event of my dad's, we don't feel as close as it used to. I just hate being in a situation like this where we have to choose. I'm TORN IN BETWEEN THE TWO. I haven't had time with my dad's family and I miss them but at the same time, my siblings and I have a great relationship with my mother's family, it's frustrating, and it's a bad feeling to have! Respond if you like, or if you know what I'm talking about! Be back later.
Take Care everyone!
