Being Away From Grandkids

After four years of being together, sharing happiness, enjoying tantrums, ran around and all the giggles with my two grandkids (the girl 4 yrs old and the boy 1 yr old, now they're from me. They moved in to their new house around 20 kilometers far. I cried a lot when they left, though they can come over to see me and I can go to their house and see them as well. I felt sad seeing the house empty of children's toys, noise and laughter. I remember every night I used to go to their room and see them sleeping, I can imagine how my little prince cried loud just to get my attention, that if I failed to get up he would slowly walk into my room. How my four year old little princess insist on taking the half screen of my pc in order for her to do the farmville at her facebook or any other game. How she sings, how she dances, how she recites a poem. How excited she is, running to me showing me her perfect scores in her nursery quizzes. How she smiles sweetly every time she would ask me to buy her chocolates, cookies or any other finger food. I missed the time when we go together to our fave fastfood and then stroll at the mall. Oh, this two kids really made up my days and colored my world. I just wish I would have enough money someday that I could bring them home, buying them house just besides ours. Have you experience the same, feeling so empty without your grandkids?

Hi Bing
I have not got Grandchildren yet but I know how I felt when my Children grew up and well all the little things that I loved disappeared
When I go to stay with them now and they are Adults I find myself still checking on them when they are asleep, I always have tears in my eyes as I will stand there for a bit and remember how I used to hold them for them to go to sleep, how I used to sit next to their bed and watch them sleep while stroking their hair
I still miss that now but I do still sometimes stroke their Faces when they are fast asleep even though they are Adults, as they will always be my Babies
I hope that you will still get to see your Prince and Princess a lot
Love you and big Hugs to you Dear Friend

Hello gabs, perhaps I would feel and do the same with my children if they're away, am just lucky enough we're still together and only my eldest and her kids had moved out. My second daughter and I sleep together in one bed, I used to hug her and like you touch her face and stroke her hair as well while she's sleeping. I worried much whenever they come home late. We can realize now how our parents loved us as well being their children. My prince and princess visited me three times already that's why I'm quite relaxed and in a good mood these days. Am planning of seeing them today but my daughter asked me to stay as they're coming on Sunday. How are you gabs dear? Wishing you all the best...Take care...Hugsss...

Hi bing, I feel sorry for you because it's easy to see that you loved having your grandchildren with you, but isn't that the way of life? Our children and grandchildren eventually leave us. You are fortunate that they are just twenty km away, and they can come to visit often and I hope for your sake that they do. You remind me of my wife who says she would like to have all the children and grandchildren living around her. That isn't always the way life goes however and there is probably a good reason for it. Blessings.

Right Pose that's the way of life. The family has to settle by their own. They have to grow and live independently, I understand. Only that I miss the happy bonding I had with the kids and so with their mom. Perhaps we grandma's are really that so sentimental that we wish to have our grandkids around us, always. Seeing them grow and sharing moments with their childhood. Thanks Pose. Blessings

Thanks for responding chaplinjunior, though you're still too young to relate. Yepp maybe on semestral break I can go there to visit them as according to my daughter they'll be dropping by here every time my grand daughter goes to school as the school is near to our house. Happy mylotting.
