Long-Distance Grandma

IMG_20161230_090407Until last summer, when our third grandchild was born just a few miles from our home, I had only experienced being a long-distance grandma.

This has been a very hard thing for me, but I know I’m just one of many grandmas whose grandchildren live far away.

I’m very fortunate that my son and his wife Skype with us every weekend, so we get to see our sweet grandson and granddaughter and watch them grow up that way. Thank God for Skype!

The photo above was taken when the kids came up at New Year’s. I would not normally put their faces online, but thought it was OK since they’re disguised as PJ Masks characters (as is Grandma; I think I’m “Gekko”).

They are such adorable, bright children, and I love them dearly.
