Dear Annie: In response to “Grieving Grandmother to Grandmother,” who is heartbroken about not being able to see her children and grandchildren for the holidays, I was wondering if she could create her own “holiday” or special Sunday.
If invited in advance, her family may be able to gather and be with you.
Competition for regular holidays can make it difficult for grown children to see the whole family. If there is a birthday celebration for your grandchild, I think it’s perfectly fine to ask in advance if you can join the celebration, rather than waiting for your grandchild to be happy.

Dear Grandma: Being proactive and creative is always a good thing. Thank you for your suggestions.
