I am one of the global GPs who have children and GC living in the US and Oz
Although I feel sorry for those who are separated from their DGC whilst in lockdown, my sister is in this position, but her family live in the same town and not faraway, so when this is over, she will beable to have their cuddles
I have no idea when I will see mine again, my eldest DD was coming over from the states in july, with my GD age 24 years, and her husband, but that wont happen now
Luckily I went to see my youngest DD in oz at xmas for a month, I spent a wonderful month with my DGDs age 10 and 6
It was very precious, but with all this I have no idea when I will see them again
So those with families living around the corner, yes it is hard, but when this is over you will get to cuddles those little ones as soon as, but global GParents have no idea when they will get those cuddles
