Long-distance grandparenting means a lot of lost opportunities to experience the joy of each special new day, each new growth stage, each new accomplishment of our beloved grandchildren. But distance in miles does not have to mean distance in feelings. There are ways to build close relationships that do not depend on living down the block. This guide for long-distance grandparents is a great source of information and inspiration for those grandparents who live far from their grandchildren and who hope to be more than just occasional visitors and long-distance gift givers at holiday time.   for more details.
