My daughter sees my dad all the time, even though we have just moved 15 miles away, sometimes he is waiting at our house when she comes in from school. She was very close to my mum until she passed away and since then her and dad have been like two peas in a pod, sitting in the same chair, laughing at the same silly jokes. I am left out, but do I mind - not in the slightest!! I love it. She has another grandad in Carlisle, she sees him when he comes down, and we do go up there sometimes, but the travelling is expensive, no excuse I know. Her other nan doesn't live that far away and she sees her when she visits her dad. But she didn't see her for the first 5 years of her life, her choice not mine.
