Just, you are not alone. My grandsons are 6 and 11 and already I feel I've lost them. They live over 2hrs drive away and between them belong to so many clubs, sports & activities it's no longer convenient to have us visit as the eldest steadfastly refuses to give any sessions a miss and will not be left there alone! They live in the country so attendance requires daddy (DS) to chauffeur & they often go for the day. I just hope that as they get a bit older some of these hobbies will fall by the wayside and once more leave an occasional window for us. As DH gets older he's not as keen to drive in the dark or bad weather either. I feel like I've gone from happy to see you, slightly naughty but fun gran to nobody. DILs mum lives in the other direction is divorced & lives alone but has other GCs & family nearby is top of the list for visits because she's 'alone' but being married doesn't make me any less lonely - apparently I cope better??
