Good Morning. I was pondering the thought of; has any of you grandparents NOT received a card of gift from your children and grandchildren on this Valentine's Day? If so does it hurt? If not, how have you learned to cope with that fact?

Hello Roberta,
I myself have 8 children and 28 grandchildren and no I don't receive anything from my kids or grandkids at any holiday. Yes it hurts veery, very much. As to how to cope with it I have never learned how. I spend lots of time in tears at all holidays, birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day, etc. etc. I would be very interested in knowing how you cope with it.

I hold onto the fact that they do love me and they are busy too. I do not hold Valentines day as important as Birthdays or holidays. So If I get to talk to any of them on that day I feel very fortunate. I look forward to their birthdays, and holiday gatherings when we are all together and cherish those memories we make together.

I've learned that my children are sometimes too busy to remember me. Their lives are very full with their children so I took the first step. I send them a card two weeks in advance with little surprises inside. I week later and make sure they got the card and get their response to see if they liked it. When it isn't a holiday or birthday, I write send them cards in the mail telling them how proud of them I am and that I miss them. Even though they live in the same town as me. I also keep in touch with them on facebook. I'm not doing this to get anything in return or to make them feel guilty. I do it because I need to feel needed. good luck. karen
