I loved this article for long-distance grandparents. This is another side of globally mobile families - those left behind. Seeing the increase in support for them, helping each side of the long-distance family relationships better understand each other, is wonderful.
"If you lived near your grandchildren, you’d likely be spending time and money creating memories with them. From a distance, you can’t enjoy trips to the park or weekend family dinners. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t carve out time during your week to connect with them though!...Whether you are a distance grandparent or not, your experience as a grandparent depends on how much effort you put into the relationships with your adult children and grandchildren. If you want a close, lasting relationship with your grandchild, you need to commit to making the effort. But as long-distance grandparents around the globe will tell you, the reward for that effort is priceless."
