We love our kids regardless of how they feel. One of these days, she will be in the same place you are. Maybe she will learn what it is to have grandkids withheld from her. But hopefully, before that happens, she will realize she is making a mistake keeping the grandkids from their grandparents. Those are memories the kids can't get back. Do you send the kids and your daughter birthday and Christmas and maybe Easter cards? You can keep up your end of the communication whether she does or not. She may not call or come see you right now, but keeping the lines of communication open by doing what you can may prompt her to get in touch with you. I'd write her a letter and tell her how you miss the grandkids and her and how much you love them. I would never mention anything about your differences. I guess the best you can do is pray for a change of heart in her.

She may not talk to you right now, but you can talk to her. Write her a heartfelt letter and put it in the mail. Do not place blame or be hateful or spiteful. Simply tell her that you really miss her and your grandkids, tell her that she is always in your thoughts and prayers, and tell her how much you love her. Tell her that reguardless of your differences and whatever has happened in the past, she is your daughter and she means the world to you. Sometimes, it takes something like that to open the lines of communication. Let's just pray that it helps before something tragic happens that makes it oo late for "I'm sorries" ans "I love you's"
