BB is a crazy old lady who may well wind up alone in the house talking to herself with just her animals for company.
You have every right to visit your daughter and grand-kids as much as you want to Lou and they are lucky to have you for a dad/grandad.
My dad lives on his own now, he's as happy as a pig in muck, he phones me a couple of times a week. I phone him about once a month. I don't really keep track that's just a guess but I know he phones way more often than I do. I am always glad to hear from him and I never sense any resentment on his part for being the one to phone. My grandmother when she was alive practically never phoned unless it was your birthday. I would phone her about once every 3 months only to get an earful for not phoning more often - how encouraging is that?.
