Emigration of children have separated grandparents and grandchildren. It is not only a problem, but also an opportunity

Yes, I think most of us grandparents have grandchildren far away from us in another country.
My youngest daughter, Linda, is married with 2 boys - living in the UK.
Linda is pregnant again so I will have to think of going over for the birth.
It is difficult to get to know the grandchildren over there.

Thanks for starting this group, Johan. Yes I agree this is a challenge and can make us feel far away. I am grateful for technology and the opportunities this opens up to help close that gap.

I talk to my children on a regular basis via skype and webcam. We have a family blog. My family live on 4 continents and this blog helps us share special photos and moments.

My grandson is still too small to connect with me but I will use these methods as soon as he can communicate.
