My son and DIL and our first grand baby moved in with us soon after her birth at the start of Covid, They lived in a tiny condo in a place with high cases. We have a large separate space here where he could work from home and it all worked out so well. We got along wonderfully and I , having just retired got to help mom with her every day, whenever she wanted me. Believe me I know how lucky I was during Covid to have them here. Now, he took a new job and moved 2 hours away , we are under very strict lock down rules no travel and no contact outside your household. I’m so bonded to my GD and she to me, I miss her terribly, my house is so quiet and empty now. So I’m so sad here dealing with that. But yesterday she FaceTimed me , for the first time. Poor baby reached out to touch my face on the screen and looked so confused, she cried and cried and kept looking and turning away. We hung up and mom tried again, but the same response. I felt heartbroken, should we keep trying? She’s so young and doesn’t understand why nanny can’t hug and cuddle her . Will she forget me if we wait too long ?
