Missing My Granddaughter
You miss your adult children when their careers or marriage take them too far away for more than rare visits. However, you had the pleasure of enjoying them as babies, toddlers, teens and adults .It is different with grandchildren who live a long distance away. I am thinking of my granddaughter Lily who lives with her parents Mark and Julie in the DC area. We were there when Lily was born July 9 and we got to enjoy her over the Christmas and New Years holidays. Young children change everyday and it is a great pleasure to see them develop and grow. It hurts to miss that with grandchildren.

I second that wholeheartedly! Grandchildren shouldn't be further than an hour's drive away. It is so hard not to be there and share in all the new things she is doing. Babies grow up too fast and when you don't get to see them often, they change so much. By the time she gets used to us again, it's time for them to leave. I vote they move closer to us! We need more Lily hugs!
