Dianne, I will look into Skype...sounds good. Thanks.

Dotsie,I would adopt you any day. We'd have to do the long distance relationship thingy still.

Scorpio, I completely understand how you miss the personal side of hugging your grandchildren or handing them a toy. I truly hope your son sees how important it is for his children to know, love and occassionaly visit their grand parents.Have you expressed your feelings to him about this?(I am guessing maybe you have.)and how did he react? What reason is he giving. What about the DIL's parents? Are they close or far away like you? I hope everything works out for you soon. How old are your grandbabies?

Hugs
