Hey Erica

No unforunately my daughter lives in Perth and I live 400klms away. If I had have known how much your daughter having a child pulls at your heart strings there is no way I would have moved away from her for the sea change lifestyle.

All I want these days is to be close to her and her beautiful baby girl oh and her hubby as well lol.

I am heading back down to Perth next week so will get to spend time with them which will be wonderful.

I do have another grandaughter who is very precious to us as well. She is two years old and I can count on one hand how many times I have been able to get to see her. She is my sons lil girl and they are always too busy for us to visit them etc. which just breaks my heart. My daughter inlaw has a family who are close by and so her mum does all the babysitting. It is sad in that our sons child/children are missing out on spending quality time with this granma and grandad but it is their choice and I try and try but can't win with that one. They are due to have another lil one in a few weeks so hopefully we will be more welcome then but we will have to wait and see. We have lived away for 4 years and they have never come to visit us once unfortunately. It is all a bit sad but then I am so blessed to have such a very special daughter and her precious bubby to keep me happy.

Life has so many twists and turns, up and downs and is constantly testing us all the time so we just have to keep finding the positives and run with them I say.

Lots of love, hope you are doing okay.

Mich xoxo
