Aggadah99 poses a very valid question. I know as a parent that I would be devastated if my children married someone who lived far away. I do not have the financial resources to go back and forth on visits, even within the US, and I would be heartbroken to have granchildren whom I could not see regularly. My machetonim are in that boat with their oldest son out of town, and they now have two beautiful aineklach whom they very rarely see. Don’t suggest the phone/video thing, because the children will not do it. It hurts me on their behalf to see that they are missing so many precious moments, and so are the grandchildren.
