Hi I'm new to gransnet and good to read other peoples experiences. Feel.less alone as most if my friends have children and grand children livi g close by or at least in the same country and now planning to see them again. My daughter works for FCO so every 5 years she and my 3 grand children move to a different country. Niw ending posting in Singapore and planning ne t movevto Thailand this summer. My husband at 87 can no.longer make the long journey so once a year I travel to visit on my own. This summer we were due to spend a month together in Europe but of course that has been cancelled and given the uncertain future of international travel I dont know when I will see them again. Yes we try to keep in touch on skype etc but it's more bitter than sweet. It's so hard to feel involved in their lives as they grow up time that us forever lost I try to be philosophical and accepting at least in the outside but inside it hurts so much. As many if you gave said the fact that they are are flourishing is the most important thing and to be grateful for that. Any tips on coming to terms gratefully received! Thank.you
