Scorpio, your topic is huge among baby boomers. Our children/grandchildren are scattered all over the country/world.

This is tough for us because many of us were raised in the same town with our grandparents.

I know this isn't an answer, but PLEASE know you are not alone.

This is something the media hasn't done enough with. I mentioned to a writer for USA Today just this week. I'm hoping she chooses to cover it later in the year.
