overseas grandchild

I have two Grandchildren who live in Australia. We are lucky enough to be able to visit them for several weeks each year which is wonderful. We have a weekly FaceTime chat with them to keep in touch. Technology isn't the same but it really does help.

susiytish If you go to the Forums, and put 'Long Distance Grandparents' into the search engine, you'll find quite a few threads and blogs discussing this. Lots of tips and ideas about how to bridge the gap.

My 3 grandchildren live abroad, with 2 in the USA.

Get up to speed on the marvellous technology that's available to us these days. I find it certainly helps to keep me in the grand children's orbit, so to speak.

Good luck.

I have a young grandson who was born and lives in Gibraltar he will be 2 in June, I only get to see him twice a year which is hard as my son isn't good with keeping in touch in between visits. I hope you manage to contact your granddaughter often.
