I live in Regina, and our parents live in Calgary. 7hr drive, not including stops. 1hr and change flight.
My sister lives in Toronto.
My mom and her parents makes equal flights to either of us, and happily do so. Regardless of how far we are, it still a day commitment to get to either of us.
I do buy that he wanted to be close to home. But I stated before, I don't believe he had the emotional maturity to fully realize how poorly he handled this process, and being in Calgary and convincing his wife and in-laws, wasn't as bad as he might have thought, if travel and distance were his biggest issues.
My dad put it very easily for me when I moved to Regina. When he immigrated across the world at 18, he did so alone, with minimal money, and $2 / min in phone calls. Today we have free video chat.
My 8 year old has a phenomenal relationship with all his grandparents, and videochat is the primary reason for that.
