I suppose that's only natural. And I guess only a grandmother could look forward to "sticky kisses!"

...and the river flows on...
and Time does what only Time can do....
Cycles, phases... there will always be knock-outs, and there will always be smiles... Your son has choices to make, and I believe you and I agree on the theory that learning to make choices is what we are here for.
When my daughter's man, and father of her toddler moved on some years ago, she was frustrated and angry and in grief, and said that what rankled the most was that he was getting all that he wanted, despite being despicable about it. I told her, a day will come when he has nothing he wants, and you will have it all. And so it is proving out, as far as their relationship goes, and his with his daughter.
What your son has and his wife does not (though I daresay she could if she weren't in such competition) is you. You and he and the kids will be fine. She might have to struggle a while longer, before she gets whatever her lesson is.

I like it when mama-worry metamorphoses into mama-concern and takes
off into a healthier framework of relationships.

I am really very sorry to hear that! I don't know what to suggest - actually, I am always at a complete loss when it comes to other people's matters of the heart and family - I can barely deal with my own, LOL. But I'm sure you will enjoy your very cure rug rats...

My goodness, if it ends up being her, and there's no reason not to think that it isn't, I hope he is able to move to save his sanity! And, good to see you will be having a separate blog; when's the next installment? I admire that you will be there for him, it makes you a great mother, too! sam xxxx
