My pleasure @judithjoy !
I also lived quite far away from my grandmother, she was in Germany and I and my parents in South America. In the 80s we did not have internet yet, so we exchanged many letters. The letters that were delivered on the day were the first thing I would check when coming home after school. Phone calls were quite expensive at that time, we did not have yet skype, whatsapp, zoom, etc. So just on special occasions, like birthdays. December was the month I waited throughout the year, as I would fly to Germany and stay with my grandmother for 2 months (my summer holidays). Even living in different countries and continents, I was very close to my grandmother, even closer than my German cousin, having learned a great deal with her. She has been and still is a light in my life!
Have a nice Sunday!
