i miss my grandchildren

hi! i live in ct., my son and his family moved to atlanta last aug. he's in graduate school there. i used to have my grandson once or twice a week. he's 2.5. since they've moved, my 2nd grandson was born in nov. i miss them so much. goig to see them gets to be expensive, and i'm not able to get away from work that often. i have one son, so i really feel the loss. i probably sound like i'm whining. their intent is to settle somewhere in that area, or n.c. i can't move anywhere for at least a couple of years, so i feel like i'm missing so much of my grandchildren's lives. there's not much i can do, except for calling, e-mailing, and taking a flight down to see them whenever i can.

Hi, I am in the exact same boat. I live in upstate New York and two of my daughters and their families moved to Atlanta last spring. I can't tell you how hard it was to adjust to them being gone. I have a total of 10 grandkids, and 7 of them now live in the Atlanta area almost 1000 miles away from me. We spend lots of time on the computer and on the phone, but it's not the same as getting all those hugs and kisses from the kids. If it's any consolation, it does get a little better. I cried my eyes out the first couple of months and I fly down every chance I get. They are coming to visit for Easter in a few weeks so I'm looking forward to that.
