My wife, our kids, and I live abroad from our families. Kids and grandparents get to see each other once a year or so.
Yet, we do not plan to move back closer to our families.
The reason is simple: our relation to our parents is fulfilling as it is and our parents educated us in such a way that we build our own family for ourselves, because the one thing that was granted to us (quoting my own parents) was their unconditional support and love.
Distance sure prevents a lot of small yet meaningful interactions and it sometimes hurts, but the support that we received helped us settle where we wanted and become who we wanted, independently from any geographical or otherwise constraints.
We're infinitely grateful to our parents for that.
