LONG DISTANCE GRANDMA:
 I'm asking myself, why my children have to move? Or at least why did they have to take my grand kids with them? I may have taken for granted that my children lived nearby. But the mobility of our society has robbed me of my grandchildren, and now I'm a long-distance grandma.


I'm trying not to be too dramatic about this, but I can't help but wonder how can I bake cookies, make the most colorful banana split and kiss sweaty little faces at long distance? I want to listen to my grandchildren's clamors and share their joys. I want to attend every school program and point out my grandchild to the stranger sitting next to me.


I fear that my grandchildren won't even know me --- or me them. But all is not lost! Remember the song that says, " Ain't no mountain high enough... to keep me from you"?.Excuse the bad grammar,but there ain't no mountain high enough or valley low enough to keep me from having a loving and fun relationship with my grandchildren.


Love will find a way. Love will travel. It maybe challenging to communicate my love to my grand children, but it will be possible. What, with the modern technology nowadays, everything will be possible. Camera, internet, phone and even the outmoded postal means.


Above all, I know and don't forget that God is in control. My relationship with my grandchildren will be different and unique, but it will be OK. I can do it!!!
