My darling Granddaughter Lolly is ten years old tomorrow!

I have not seen her in 5 long years.

Her mother moved to Perth W.A to a town called Broome near a place called Wanneroo I believe.
She did not tell me she was going - I will never know her reasons - I have had no contact since.
Miss them both so much

Here is how I remember my Lolly, maybe one day I will see her again.

I know she has a pony called Millie and she rides on the beach and goes in the sea with her. I have had a few bits of info, from one or two kind folk who have managed to find out stuff for me.
Yes it will be a sad day for me, and one full of many happy memories too.
I hope one day she will come and find me, and hope that I will still have a lovely big spotty horse for her to ride!!!
 
How sad that this sort of thing happens - I had/have very special relationships with my grandparents as do my children. My heart goes out to you. Not sure whether you send things to Lolly, or you already do something like this, but maybe every so often (eg her birthday) you could write her a letter to tell her what is going on in your life, how you miss her, etc. Then hopefully when she comes looking for you, she will be able to read the letters and know you never forgot her. (In fact even if you do send things, you may want to make a copy, in case she doesn't get them.) Happy birthday Lolly - such a pretty girl. xx.
 
I buy a card and a present every year for her, but have nowhere to send them!
I have a little book I wrote for her a few years ago and I add a few bits every now and then. Its often too painful to do to much more than that, and I try not to dwell on it as my OH hates to see me so upset.
I just hope one day she will turn up and I will have something to offer her, love, shelter and happy memories and stories of those special 4 years that she was in my life.

I can't imagine she will have any real memories of me as she was just 4 and a half when I last saw her, but maybe she will have a good feeling about me, as I did for my Grandfather who I lost at the age of 5 years.
 
This really brought a lump to my throat - i lost a daughter 3 years ago
Thinking of you - one day i am sure you will find each other xxx

I'm sure she will remember you. My youngest was only 2 1/2 when my dad died and he remembers him. I think the book is a lovely idea and I would urge you to keep it up when you are able to face it - it only has to be a few words, or even a picture of something you see that you think she may like. Sadly she may have been told things that are not true, and by having these notes jotted down she will see that you have never stopped thinking about and loving her. xx.
 
That is so so sad and makes me so cross when I hear stories like this. I am sure she had her reasons but there are some people out there who would adore loving grandparents for their children. My childrens grandmother lives 10 minutes away from us yet wants nothing to do with her 3 grandchildren, they wouldn't even recognise her in the street! I have tried so hard but its just pointless. I would love for them to have a grandmother to dote on them. :(

Thats so very sad too - it must be awful never to be able to see them again.
You at least have closure, as they say, and perhaps you are better able to move on, I miss my daughter terribly, she was such a laugh, and we had so many good times together but in some ways they were directly proportional to the bad times.
Living in hope can sometimes be worse and it makes me feel so very inadequate as she chooses not to contact me, which cuts very deep.
