It does get easier to leave the little ones - my grandson is 3 1/2 - our first winter away was hard, but we spoke on the phone often and skyped a lot. Now he understands that Grandma & Poppa live in Florida and Pennsylvania. Yesterday on the phone he said "Grandma, I miss you - come home" - instant guilt trip! But he & I both got over it! I will see him for Christmas and his Birthday and when we are in PA for the summer, I will spend every day with him. It works, and before long he won't have time for us and will be living his own life. So get down here & enjoy The Villages - it is the best place in the world!
