We didn't move away from our grandchildren; our children moved away from us. Our daughter lives in Missouri with her her husband and the two children they still have at home. Their oldest daughter is a US Marine, stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA. Our son lives just up the road in Austin. However, since he and his wife recently got a divorce, I don't know when we'll get to see his two sons. The youngest lives with his mother, and the older goes to school in southeast Texas.
