(6,378 posts)I Skype Mom (86) daily... it's like being there.
And I have a coworker who's grandbaby was in Japan... and they skyped on a regular basis. Grandma wasn't just a word. They would play peek-a-boo and make faces at each other... Grandbaby KNEW who Grandma was. Skype is a must!!!!!
Just my 2 cents.
lillypaddle
(9,581 posts)sounds like that's the way to go.
