RoadXYZ..I belive you have it. It's the time. Not necessarly spending it with you, but wanting you to spend it with the grandkids. My wife mentioned just last night how our children (23 & 26) don't have anything much to do with her mother, but they will go see my parents every chance they get. Her parents were on the road alot when our children we little. They would swing by the house and drop off sand or rocks or some little trinket from their travels and then be off again. My parents live only about 2 hours away and the kids were able to spend time with them and develop great relationships with them. They were never able to develop a relationship with her parents.
Maybe that's what your daughter is concerned about. I'll bet it is! My wife says we're moving to be near our grandkids when they are born! I think I like the two hours we're away from them now!
But the most important thing, and from reading your posts, I believe you understand that keeping the lines of communication open is the most important thing the we can do for our childrn and ourselves.
Good luck
