But at least you have them with you part-time and can visit virtually and be in instant touch by phone day or night via voice/text, keep up with their lives in Instagram and Facebook pictures and posts, so it's not as separate a life as it once was when children lived too far away to visit regularly and only called on holidays. Today's technology keeping them virtually close is a poor substitution but it beats the old days.
I'm so excited to hear you've another grandchild on the way - yahoo! Congratulations! Can't wait to hear more! |
Thank you Jeanie!
It IS the day-by-day bit that I miss so much....plus I must admit I'm slightly envious of Maria's parents being there 'on the spot' as it were, seeing all the 'firsts' and having a 'real' cuddle whenever they wish....I want that to be me, too. Selfish and silly maybe?
It's because it was just today that they went back - Elliot and I really re-bonded - and I guess I'm scared of losing that, and having to recreate it every time they come over...which will be much less once the new little one arrives (early November). I wish we were rich, so that I could just have a little pop over for a couple of days every month....
