Immediate; my parents and sister whom I live with, grandfather and uncle in Manhattan, and my cousin and his family who are a stone’s throw away (a pro baseball player could hit where they live with a ball).
Then there’s 3 friends who I’ve known for half my life...
When you're an adult, your parents, and siblings are no longer "immediate" family, love them though you do. That's your wife and kids, if any. Most of our ancestors left their families to settle here. Mine did, from southern Germany. Although they already had a couple of kids, they did leave the rest of their relatives behind. That was in the mid 1860s. Others came both earlier and later, but those are the ones I know the most about.
I would hate to betray the promise that they came here to fulfill.
