Well, I thought I was in an okay frame of mind to deal with the holidays.

Hi hun!
I understand how disappointed you must be not to get to talk to your grandchildren. I know I can hear it in my Mom's voice when my son is not in the mood to chat (he is 12) sometimes when she calls.
I had an idea though hun... 2 of them actually.. one is why dont you call them once in awhile? If long distance cost is an issue there are lots of phone card deals you can get that are pretty cheap. You could even suggest phone cards as a birthday or mothersday gift.
*hugs
Thanks so much, Caly!

My BF's mom lives in Alabama and we live in Maryland and she only gets to see her grandson twice a year too. It is very hard on her. This Christmas my BF's son went to Florida to be with his mother and my BF's mom came to Maryland to visit for the holidays and she didn't get to see her GS or talk to him this x-mas either, so I know she knows what you are going through and me seeing her disappointment makes me understand how you feel. I know I am probably not much help, but I wanted you to know I care and I wish you all the best. I hope your visit with your grandchildren in January is a wonderful one with lots of good memories to treasure.
Blessings to you

Unfortunately, I think over the past several years, I was guilty of doing the same thing that your grandchildren are...being too busy to talk to my grandmother, not spending much time with her (well, we only got to see her once a year, though), even though I did love her and enjoyed the time we did have together.
She passed away about two years ago, I think, and I often remember her and wish I could tell her how much I loved her. I'm sorry that this has gotten off track of your post, and I don't mean to depress you even more. I just wanted to say that I sympathize with what you are going through...I wish I had some suggestions...but hopefully your grandchildren will realize that making time for you is really important.
I do hope you are feeling a bit better now...you have lots of friends online you could talk to, although I know that is not the same as talking to your grandchildren.
