I am from a small town south of Tupelo. It is about a 3-4 hour drive. We made sure our girls got to see their grandparents every other month. Then in the summer , I would take them down for 2 weeks. It was a love fest between the grandparents and granddaughters. They loved being together. Now, my parents are gone and one of my daughters is too.
I’m now the oldest in my extended family.
Don’t see grandkids maybe twice a year.
