Dear Abby: Grandpa lives closer but still keeps to himself

Headline from Sun Times

DEAR ABBY: My parents divorced when I was 5 years old, and my father moved out of state shortly afterward. For many years, I rarely saw him in person. However, he stayed in touch through phone calls and letters, and he always called on my birthday and holidays.
