Miss my grand children, also. They are 3000 miles away from me. I don't see them very often. Years will go by before I see them. They come to Ohio to visit their maternal grandmother, and I drive 250 miles to see them the day before they fly back home. We always find out they are in Ohio shortly before they leave. Maternal grandmother occupies their time at a lake cottage for their entire visit. They are not on good terms with my son, so we are left out of a lot of things. I would love to hold them also, they are grown up now, but still would love to spend time with them.
