my son, whom many of you know, and i had a falling out and not speaking for over a month. now they are going to move to lower Fla to be near her dad and family. I have become so attached to my granson and now he is leaving me. i know it is probably the best thing for them to do because his wife and i are alot alike and we just clash. along distance relationship proproply be better for us but the loneliness will be hard and i'm afraid depression will follow. I have been doing better but as yall know it only takes one little thing to happen. i'm just afraid............puckyjan56.........

It will be hard, but you can still talk to your grandson over the phone and he will never forget you.

love, Jinny xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

(((((puckyjan56))))) I know how hard these long distance relationships can be on both child and grandparent. These days you have the internet and web cams that will help you keep your relationship current. Another thing that we did, and perhaps your son will allow it too, is we let my parents take our children for a couple months in the summer. They both really loved that one on one time.

When we moved back to our hometown area, minutes away from my parents, our eldest son asked the last day of school “don’t we get to go on vacation at Nana and Papa’s this summer?” So we all ended up staying at my parents every weekend.

When my husband’s job took us several hours away, the kids were right back to staying at Nana and Papa’s for the summer. When hubby and I would go up on the weekends to visit, they were very put out, this was THEIR time with Nana and Papa.

Our babies are 15, and this is the first year that they will not be going up to stay with my mom for the summer.

Hoping with you, pj... that love survives (and it does).

pm me Jan, if you like, because we can write about how this can be a new beginning.
Or we can discuss it here. I've had similar concerns. All is as well as can be.

love,
night
