Didnt' have time for a short visit at Thanksgiving for you unless you met them at her grandmothers for ten or fifteen minutes. My son (only child) married had one child, a month old when he was killed in a car wreck. Mom is a good gal, remarried, has a new baby, they moved a year ago to Nebraska.....long way from south Texas. I am trying to just ignore the situation and wait till she is older in hopes of some kind of realtionship. Is this unrealistic?

I am so sorry for the loss of your son.
Your former daughter in law has re-married and moved away from you , but please keep in touch with her. I know that you would love to see you grand-daughter more often, but the way to do that is to keep in touch with her mother.
My children grew up in Canada - 3,500 miles away from their Grandparents and our families in England, but one set of Grandparents always sent post-cards to them, cards and little presents on their birthdays and Christmas and also phoned every couple of weeks. They sent photos and things they had seen in the newspaper that they thought my kids would be interested in. My children (now grown-up) had a good relationship with their Grandparents, because those Grandparents kept in touch.
Even if you had to go to the other Grandparent's house to get that 15 minute visit, please don't let that little girl forget that she has a Grandma who loves her. Establish and maintain a relationship with her and her Mom.
Good Luck!

No, it's not. I would suggest writing alot. Send her bday and christmas cards. If her mom is a good gal, she'll give them to her when she's old enough. Call to talk to her. When she's a little older she'll know who you are. It won't be much longer.
